    general advice for consumers

    On the basis I that I have a little time on my hands, Im offering to write some "general advice" for consumers, to post on the board. The idea of the series of articles is to 1. avoid the fiasco we sometimes see in the PPL forum, and 2. to offer a place to deflect consumers, thus offering advice instead of having a debate infront of/with consumers. I even promise to write the texts well, and spell check them!!!

    Topics I thought of so far are

    • How to choose a PPl / basics between PPL designs
    • Thin lenses / aspheric lenses
    • Help - my eye is sore / red /co. Ha's etc
    • First time presbyope - choices for now and the future
    • contact lens primer
    • Childrens vision
    • choosing a practitioner
    • lens coatings
    • what to do when there is a problem with an order
    • common ocular medical issues: diabetes, glaucoma, cataract etc
    • glossary of terms
    What I am asking in this thread is

    1. What topics do you all want?
    2. Who would like to proofread the texts - perhaps a optician / Dr / manufacturer?
    3. does any one else have any input, or has anyone allready done some of the work

    Good Idea King,

    Perhaps it could head a forum all of it's own.

    But then maybe it would only need one bit of advice: Go visit your local independant Optician
