    Funny SPAM e-mail I received this morning

    ********
    If you're like most people, when life gets a little blurry you go get an eye exam?

    And if you're told to?willingly exchange your trust and money for glasses or contacts, right?

    But there's something most opticians won't dare tell you:

    Research now shows that relying strictly on glasses and contacts could be exactly what's CAUSING your vision to get worse?

    Think about that for a moment:

    The very thing we've been told for YEARS to rely on for better vision could be the dirty little secret locking your eyes into their damaged state? <=== Free Presentation Shows WHY *LINK DELETED*

    To make matters worse?

    If you're blindly following the herd?wearing vision aids to merely mask the symptoms of poor vision?you could be failing to support your vision health. And ultimately putting yourself at RISK of:

    Macular degeneration?

    Cataracts?

    Glaucoma, or worse:

    Losing your vision for GOOD!

    Would YOU let that happen if it could be avoided?

    I just finished watching a free presentation that shows 3 ways to NATURALLY promote stronger, healthier eyes?so you can live comfortably and support your eyes now instead of going BLIND later.

    Nobody else is sharing this, so I'm making it my responsibility to pass it on:

    Can this be the return of the Bates Method or Krill Oil or whatever Pixie Dust the snake oil salesmen have come up with to skim the great unwashed from their cash? I think that it was John Ringling or possibly WC Fields who said "there is a sucker born every minute."

    I'm guessing it could be a reincarnation of the See Clearly method. Remember Maryette Hartly(?) pitching it on TV? A bunch of states AG's offices put them out of business but as I understand it, not before they made millions.

    Or is that Bates Dick???

    The original Bates of times past has evolved into many different programs. Cripes, if I thought I could make a buck I would be selling the Doctor Dickie Dial-A Vision Method. Cures poor vision and Hepatitis C.

    I did have some pinhole glasses in their original packaging from back in the 1920"s that promised to improve ones vision if worn but a few hours a day and were accompanied by following an eye exercise regime. I will paw through my museum of optical minutiae and see if I can find them. If the patent has expired I may start marketing them.

    I guess I don't need hearing aids either!
    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
