Sun Contacts?

by Donald Miller
Do you wear sun protection for your eyes? This means restricting total visible light and reducing ultra violet.
One of the major causes of cataracts (fogging of the cornea) is exposure to solar ultra violet. This was discovered by studies of progressing blindness among fishermen. Light bouncing from the ocean surface increases the risk over that experienced by farmers and other outdoor workers. UV also contributes to macular degeneration in the eye.
Fortunately, sun glasses are now easy to find, cover a wide price range, and can offer both tinted and polarized filtering. If you don't need focus correction, sun "glasses" (can be plastic) can be very light weight.
By the way, the "photochromic" sun specs which darken under UV exposure aren't quite the miracle claimed by their makers. They range between not dark enough in the sun and too dark when they should be clear. They also do poorly behind automotive windshields and in cold weather. The delay in color change can be long enough for the user to have changed spectacles.
Polarizing filters can reduce light polarized in one angle of rotation, such as happens when sunlight is reflected from water, shiny metal, snow, and so forth. Reduction of this random glare is extremely helpful for focus. Competitors in fishing, boating, golf, skiing often rave about the benefits. Light reflected from mostly flat water is polarized horizontally, so the sunglasses are polarized vertically.
When the Polaroid Company began making its first product, polarized sunglasses, the plastic was fairly resistant to scratching from dust and handling. Most polarized clip-ons now seem to be quite scratchable, unless you seek out a really good brand. Regular prescription spectacles can have lenses of glass or poly carbonate plastic plus scratch resistant coating, and both these lens types can have polarized filtration.
If you wear contact lenses, it is very simple to place sun spectacles in front of them. Several companies are now offering contact lenses with UV filtration. The UV contacts also protect the cornea from light coming from the top and sides, which can bounce off the inside of glasses. However, the contacts cannot protect the whites, nor filter as strongly as spectacles, nor is it practical for contacts to be polarized. Be skeptical of contacts which claim to offer better UV protection than spectacles. The ultimate UV protection comes from combination of UV contacts and spectacles with UV coating.
Eye damage from ultra violet is cumulative over many years. Therefore, the benefits of particular spectacles or contacts will be difficult to judge outside of large statistical studies.

What Can Optometrists do For You?

by Suzanne Hughes

An optometrist (eye-care professional), deals with the task of checking for eye problems in individuals. He or she checks your eyes and accordingly prescribes medication, surgery or corrective lenses or spectacles to remedy these problems.
These professionals go through three years of basic university education based on their specific field. During the following pre-registration period, they undergo about a year of training, following which they are to attempt to clear the qualifying exam.
After qualifying, these trainees can choose their particular area of specialization, and then obtain specific training to suit the needs of their practice. They can choose to specialize in contact lenses, eye treatment, and low vision detection etc.
Aside from their formal education and training, many of these qualified professionals, especially those who run their own private practice, are required to supervise the functioning of their offices and eye-care centers. They have to pay attention to details such as hiring efficient and dependable staff, making the right investments in equipment, and keeping up with technological developments in the field of eye-care.
A typical visit to an optometrist's office, involves having to take a vision exam to check vision acuity, after which it can be determined whether or not you have defective vision that must be corrected with lenses. After the extent of the defect has been determined, and Hyperopic or Myopic tendencies are identified, the optometrist will proceed to provide you with a variety of lenses in order to settle on whichever suits your vision the best.
Other factors relating to vision, including vision coordinates, vision depth, color viewing and recognition, and ability to focus, are also checked during a typical eye check-up. The Optometrist may also perform additional checks for eye-ailments, including glaucoma. Other health conditions like hypertension or high blood pressure, diabetes etc., can also adversely affect your vision, other serious diseases such as cancer can have an overall degenerating effect on the eyes. Your optometrist can suggest therapy options to improve your eyesight under such conditions, where surgery might not be an option.
Ophthalmologists and Optometrists are essentially different as professionals, although ultimately they both deal with vision related issues. One notable difference between the two, is that Ophthalmologists are qualified to perform surgery if and when necessary, aside from treating eye diseases, while an Optometrist is technically a general practitioner, who is entitled to diagnose problems and prescribe remedies, but does not perform therapy or surgery on a large scale.
Optometry is an immense and growing field, as more and more efficient professionals are trained, and begin practice. With abrupt and rapid changes in the lifestyles of the population, and less than healthy diets, together with excessive strain on the eyes due to over-exposure to television and computer screens as well as harmful sunrays etc., the demand for effective optometric treatment is also on the rise. To make sure that your eyes stay healthy, and your vision, perfect, remember to visit your Optometrist at regular intervals to have your eyes checked for problems.

When Do You Need Trifocals For Yourself?

by Suzanne Hughes
Eyeglasses with three divisions of correction in the lenses are called trifocals. These are considered to be better than bifocals even if it sounds harder to see through. The underlying principle is simple - when a person is progressing from one step to another, an intermediate step between the two steps makes it easier for the person. So do not think that having three different corrections will make tougher to see through.
People with acute presbyopia are usually prescribed trifocals. These people require vision correction at all three steps - long distance, intermediate and near/reading distance. The calculation for the intermediate correction is usually made by halving the reading addition. For example, if a presbyopia patient has -4 diopters with a +3 reading addition; the net power is -1 and hence the intermediate correction would be -2.5 diopters.
As can be understood, trifocals are different from bifocals. Bifocals only have two different corrections on each lens. Trifocals on the other hand have three different vision correction stages. So, trifocals offer more clarity in vision and less strain on the eye.
Trifocals belong to the multifocal classification on glasses.
Trifocals are similar to bifocal glasses. The only difference is that they are equipped with a three level vision correction lens on each lens instead of two level vision correction lenses.
In addition to the distance vision correction and near/reading vision correction like in bifocal lenses, trifocals have an intermediate correction field in each lens to give a better viewing experience.
The calculation for the intermediate area is simple enough. Let's say that a person has been found to have a power of -4 diopters and +3 addition for reading correction. With these numbers, we know that the net power is -1. The rule for finding out the intermediate is halving the reading addition. So with the given numbers, it would be -2.5 diopters.
The trifocals have the usual semi-circular area with the reading addition like bifocals. There is also the area for seeing things in the distance. And in addition to these two, there is a narrow band of intermediate correction viewing area in the middle of the lens for seeing things that aren't very far but are further than the reading distance. This is immensely useful for many people. For those who need this area more, like those who are constantly working on computers, it can be made bigger on demand.
People who suffer from acute presbyopia are usually prescribed trifocals. The term has been derived from Latin and it means 'ageing eyes'. This means that has the body ages, the eyes lose their capacity to adjust and focus on different things. This usually happens after a person reaches 40. Usually this can be countered with corrective glasses, refractive surgery or contact lenses.
But sometimes these measures are not enough and the person develops a condition where all three stages of vision need corrective glasses. So instead of using three different pairs of glasses all the time, people go for trifocals.
Now there are progressive lenses that have no lines to distinguish them from the usual lenses. These are called PALs (progressive addition lenses), progressive power lenses, graduated lenses, no-line bifocals and varifocal lenses.

Wearing Contact Lens the Right Way

by Suzanne Hughes
Although the use of contact lenses to correct eye problems has now become quite common, these are still a few common queries associated with the correct use of contact lenses shared by both those who use lenses for the first time, and those who have been using them for some time.
There are a few basic steps you must keep in mind while handling or using your contact lens, in order to keep them from getting damaged, and also for optimum comfort on your part.
One commonly asked question is whether or not it's possible to tell if the contact lens is inside out. There's a very simple way to do this, first place the lens on your finger so that an upturned cup is formed. Then bring the lens up to eye level so that you can see the rim of the convex surface clearly. If the top edges of the lens appear flared out, the lens in inside out, and if it just forms a cup, or a 'U' shape, you're holding the lens correctly.
Tinted lenses appear to have darker edges when held right side up, and some lenses have the brand name of the manufacturer etched onto the surface, which also assists in telling if the lens is inside out. However, there is no risk involved in applying the lens to your eye, inside out, you will only feel a slight discomfort.
Another important factor in using contact lenses is lens maintenance. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before applying the lens to your eye, or when removing it. However, it's best to avoid soaps that are oily or too scented, since these tend to contain substances that might interfere with the make-up of your lens, or end up damaging it.
Take special care to avoid using products containing lanolin.
The steps involved in cleansing and applying contact lenses are as follows: first, gently shake your lens case containing the contact lens immersed in storage solution, to loosen the contact lens should it be stuck. Avoid touching or pulling the lens with your fingers as much as possible since you might end up damaging it. Then place the lens on your palm and rinse thoroughly with the cleansing solution prescribed for your specific brand.
After cleaning out the lens, dry your hands and place the lens on the tip of your finger, use your other hand to hold the eye open, and gently put the lens in place. Roll your eyes, and blink in order to let the lens settle. If you experience any discomfort, chances are that the lens hasn't been positioned properly, in which case it has to be removed, rinsed and replaced properly. If you are stand in front of a sink while removing or applying a lens, cover the drain with a clean paper towel, since if you drop the lens into the drain by accident, it'll be irretrievable.
By adhering to a few simple rules of contact lens usage, you can obtain the best results from this extremely convenient device.

Vision Insurance - Care For Your Eyes While You Save Money

by daniel.rayfield
Your vision is the most important part of your life as you see the beautiful world around you through your eyes. So make a note that you take proper care of your eyes and have regular check-up of your eyes. If you are affected with eye problems, then it is recommended to opt for vision care insurance as your eyes are very important. Although there are vision corrective procedures that you can go for, but it is advisable to insure your vision before indulging yourself in such heavy pocketed vision corrective surgeries.
Vision insurance is not simply putting on eye glasses. It's much more than that. Even if you have a severe eye disease, your vision coverage will provide you with eye prescriptions like glasses or contact lenses helping to reduce the costs you will have to bear yourself.
Vision insurance is a form of coverage that is often not included in many insurance plans offered by employers, although it is becoming more common today. These are benefit programs where the employee selects the coverage plan as desired and pays the premium. Most plans provide the minimum coverage, eye exam, glasses, contacts lenses and glaucoma testing with the amount paid depending on the terms of the policy.
Vision insurance policy not only covers eye care solutions and regular visits to the doctor, rather it also helps you to save money which can otherwise become a costly affair for you. Obtaining this value-added vision insurance, you will have access to a network of eye care providers including ophthalmologists and optometrists, optical laboratories, eyewear stores, and LASIK/PRK surgeons. Routine eye check-ups and preventive eye care services are also added in these insurance policies that are provided at reduced rates.
The best thing about vision insurance is that the insurance companies are bound to implement quality standards while choosing the service providers. This way you are assured of being taken care under a reputed eye doctor or eye care center.
There are mainly two vision insurance plans available. One is the benefits package and the other one is the discounted plan. While the former one requires an annual premium to be paid in exchange of eye care services, the latter provides you eye care services with a fixed discount rate after you pay annual premium and a deductible. You can opt for any plan that is suitable to your pocket.
The cost of vision insurance depends upon the design of the program and type of service available. You can obtain a vision insurance plan on individual basis or group basis. As an individual, you can select your own insurance plan. Group vision insurance can be acquired through your association, company or a government program like Medicare.

Easy Guide To LASIK and Laser Eye Surgery

by Mariah
If you have been wondering what LASIK is or what laser eye surgery is and what the cost of the surgery is, the following information may be of help to you. Basically LASIK constitutes the combining of two distinct processes: 1) creating a corneal flap, and 2) sculpting the cornea below the flap with a laser. LASIK may treat both myopia and hyperopia with or without astigmatism. Patients are treated and cared for from over 87 nations.
Although the excimer laser had been in use for several years earlier, the development of LASIK is usually credited to Ioannis Pallikaris from Greece about 1991. Prior to 1999, all LASIK was performed off-label, meaning the Food and Drug Administration didn't okay its practice. This next-generation LASIK addresses fundamental vision problems that previously comprised imperceptible and untreatable conditions.
In the U.S. exclusively, laser surgery is performed upon over a million patients each year, and it's presently the most popular refractive surgical procedure obtainable. If you're interested in laser sight correction, weigh what surgery could mean to you. And selecting the proper LASIK surgeon makes up a critical part of any eye surgical process. Your operating surgeon should be accessible to resolve your surgery queries well before the operation and after the procedure as well.
The surgical process is worthy for anyone who's miserable wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses and has eliminated any other solution to the problem. The surgical process is most suitable for hearty patients who are at least eighteen years old. The surgery could now also be an alternative for presbyopia correction; the surgery may correct one eye for distance vision and the opposite eye for close vision in a procedure called Monovision.
At the vision correction centers, surgery starts after the patient is comfortable with numbing anesthetic eye drops. The surgical procedure itself is usually painless or just about pain-free, and results may be experienced immediately. Those who experience LASIK eye surgery open their formerly bleary eyes and in the morning and are immediately able to see the alarm clock and the beautiful sunrise - no more glasses and no more contacts.
It is essential to be well aware that the surgical procedure is not a guarantee of faultless vision, and a few patients could necessitate more surgery to further heighten their vision. And there could be complications. We don't know the long-term effects or risks of the surgery. Nevertheless, the vast majority of patients who have experienced laser eye surgery are pleased with the outcome. In addition to comprehensive ophthalmology care and prescribed eye examinations, eye surgeons generally offer their patients the most advanced vision correction procedures, including LASIK, Custom LASIK, PRK, Intacs for Keratoconus, and Cataract Surgery.
If your vision insurance or health insurance policy or plan does not handle the cost of laser eye surgery or the cost of LASIK eye surgery or vision correction or any additional eye procedure you require, you could look at traveling to some other country to get the affordable laser eye surgery you require. Many other countries offer LASIK or laser eye surgery at a very low cost. Of course you need to take into account all your traveling expenses unless you combine it with a planned vacation besides.
LASIK eye surgery, or Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis, has transformed the way millions of Americans have looked at the world for many years now. Before arriving at your decision, make sure to discover all you are able to about the LASIK eye procedure, its benefits, and its risks, as well as the cost of laser eye surgery, especially if it is not covered in an existing policy. Talk over any doubts you have with your ophthalmologist or surgeon well ahead of time. Ask others who have had the procedure done for some feedback. Ask your doctor for names of patients you can get feedback from. When you have done all your homework you will know you haven't made a hasty decision and can rest assured you have made the right one.

Treating Amblyopia in Adults

by Dr Levinger

What is Amblyopia?
Amblyopia, otherwise known as "lazy eye", defines a condition that is characterized by the inadequacy of visual acuity classically occurring in one eye. Even with eyeglasses or contact lenses, visual acuity does not exceed 6/9. Amblyopia develops when the eye does not develop adequate visual acuity during early childhood. Several underlying causes can be responsible for the development of Amblyopia, strabismus (crossed eyes) being one of the major contributors. The condition itself is due to a failure of the brain to work in conjunction with the eyes for the purpose of developing clear visual images during early stages of development. (Amblyopia usually occurs in one eye but can occur in both.) As a result, the brain ignores a poor visual image received from the affected eye, and favors the eye that provides a clearer image.
What is the NeuroVision technique?
The NeuroVision technique is an effective non-surgical solution of treating Amblyopia for adults. The method is based on improving vision by visually stimulating the cells that comprise the image processing system in the brain, the primary visual cortex. Consequently, corrective channels are developed by the brain to receive a clear visual image, thereby enhancing visual acuity and quality. For many years there have been several attempts to develop an effective treatment for adults with Amblyopia. At first, the Neurovision technique was not considered as a method for treating adults with Amblyopia, but as of late, this method has proved extremely successful for just this purpose. The uniqueness of this non-invasive technique offers a safe and effective alternative to a population of people whose options for treatment were extremely limited.
Mode of Treatment
Once the information obtained during compatibility testing is entered, the NeuroVision system creates a personalized treatment plan and exercise program for the patient. The patient can conduct the majority of treatment sessions at home using his PC (computer). At the end of each treatment, the results are transmitted to Enaim's central control system via Internet. The control system processes the information and tailors each following treatment for the patient according to the rate of progress. The customized exercise sessions stimulate the visual centers of the brain to receive the visual images, thereby resulting in improved visual acuity and quality.
Compatibility Test
This comprehensive examination is essential for the success of the treatment. The examination includes a review of the patient's medical history, corneal topography, measuring of visual acuity and quality, an examination of three-dimensional vision, an review of a candidate's eyeglass prescription and a comprehensive examination by an expert ophthalmologist. At the conclusion of this process, the physician will summarize the findings, thereby creating an effective treatment plan.
Who is a suitable candidate?
People suffering from Amblyopia, aged 9-55 years, whose visual acuity ranges between 6/9-6/30. The treatment will not be suitable for people suffering from eye disorders such as cataract, glaucoma, keratoconus, corneal problems, nystagmus, and retinal problems. Additionally disqualified are those with epilepsy and pregnant women.
Advantages of the Technique
• The treatment is non-invasive. • The treatment is not painful. • The treatment provides flexibility - the majority of treatments can be conducted at home. • The treatment has received approvals from the Israeli Ministry of Health, the FDA, and the Mark CE (the European standard).
The NeuroVision technique for treating Amblyopia is exclusively offered by the Enaim Medical Centers.

Sunglasses: No longer just for looking cool

by Melanie Cath
Sunglasses are a visual aid invented around the 12th century. At the time, they came with colored lenses to soften strong light and prevent it from coming in contact with the eyes. But over the years, sunglasses (also known as spectacles or shades) have evolved from just being practical solutions to the discomfort brought by the sun, to fashionable accessories. Now, as more and more people are becoming health conscious, sunglasses are slowly being regarded as, primarily, health gadgets again. After all, they were invented as such in the first place.
Price is not the only factor when choosing the right pair of sunglasses. Regardless of brand and price, the right pair of sunglasses should offer some level of eye protection. Guidelines in place in the USA state that effective sunglasses should block ultraviolet-B light (UVB) by 99% and ultraviolet-A light (UVA) by 95%. If the pair you choose has this level of ultraviolet protection, eye diseases like cataracts or macular degeneration can be prevented. So it is important to check the packaging of sunglasses for the level of protection they offer before you make your purchase. The said level can often be found indicated on the labels and leaflets, or on the stickers attached to the lenses themselves.
So before you buy the trendiest sunglasses being sported by the hottest celebrity of the moment, take time out to consider their real value. It is good to look fashionable but it is even better to have healthy eyes. Poor eyesight is totally not cool.

Clues that you may need to get an eye exam

by Jennifer Basset

Unless you are one of the fortunate people who will have perfect eyesight for their whole lives, eventually you may notice that your eyesight is not as sharp and accurate as it used to be, and you may need to get contact lenses or glasses.
There are some red flags you need to be conscious of that may be early warnings that your eyes may be in need of a checkup.
Discomfort - Occasional discomfort or pressure around the eyes is normal and not necessarily something to be worried about. Discomfort can also be induced by a bright light, having the flu or a cold, or a headache. Certain medications can also have eye discomfort as a side effect. If you ever experience eye discomfort or pain that persists or gets worse over time, it could be a warning sign that you need to visit an eye doctor.
Blurry vision - This is similar to eye discomfort in that in can happen from time to time and be totally normal and nothing out of the ordinary, such as when the ambient light in a room suddenly changes or if you rub your eyes really hard, or even from a cold or allergies. Because of this, people tend to ignore blurry vision. But if your blurry vision isn't caused by one of these things, and if it doesn't go away or gets worse over time, it may be a sign that something is wrong with your eyes and a visit to the eye doctor may be in order.
It is also a good idea to get regular eye exams because some conditions do not show symptoms early on, such as glaucoma. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in America and doesn't show symptoms in the beginning, although it can still be detected by an eye doctor at this time. Early detection and treatment is necessary.
It is important to see an eye doctor if you are having any of these symptoms with your eyes. It is also important to have annual checkups just to make sure there is nothing wrong with your eyes that you haven't noticed.

Treating Cataracts with Crystalens

by Neil Hastings
Very few people will avoid developing cataracts as they grow older. In fact, more than half of all Americans over age 60 have cataracts. While there is no way to reverse or prevent the development of cataracts, today's advanced cataract treatments can make it much easier to manage cataracts and enjoy excellent vision well into old age. A cataract is caused by the buildup of proteins found naturally in the lens. This buildup creates the characteristic clouding of the eye's natural lens. This clouding makes it more difficult for light to reach the retina. The result is blurry vision and light sensitivity. Untreated cataracts may lead to severe vision issues and perhaps blindness. Types of cataracts: 1. Nuclear cataracts are the most common, and form in the nucleus of the lens during the natural aging process. 2. Cortical cataracts are common in diabetics, forming in the lens cortex (the outer rim of the lens) and gradually extending to the center of the lens. 3. Subcapsular cataracts are most common in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa, a high degree of farsightedness or who are taking steroids. These cataracts form at the back of the lens and quickly progress. Causes of cataracts, while largely unknown, may include: • Ultraviolet radiation • Smoking and drinking • Eye trauma • Medical disorders • Medications • Free radicals Symptoms of Cataracts: • Blurry, foggy or cloudy vision • Color distortion • Difficulty seeing in low light conditions • Halos or glare seen around lights • Frequent vision prescription changes • Vision loss or double vision • Decreased depth perception • White spots over the pupil State-of-the-art technology for treating cataracts includes multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs), such as Crystalens®. Millions of Americans have successfully undergone cataract surgery with Crystalens and now enjoy better vision. Crystalens is a multifocal IOL that offers many benefits beyond the traditional monofocal IOLs. Crystalens provides clear near, far, and intermediate vision and reduces the need for glasses or contact lenses. Cataract surgery with Crystalens is performed on an outpatient basis. The ophthalmologist numbs the patient's eyes with anesthetic drops, then uses an eyelid holder to prevent blinking during the procedure. An incision is made near the edge of the iris. The damaged lens is removed and the Crystalens IOL is put into place. This procedure takes less than one hour and requires no stitches. About ninety-five percent of Crystalens patients report satisfaction with the procedure and increased ease when performing daily tasks at work, at home and at play.

LASIK Eye Surgery in India for Accurate Sight.

by suraj
Wonder how a LASIK Eye surgery is performed and how successful are laser vision correction techniques? Here we have come with a complete solution to your queries and problems.
LASIK means Laser-Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis . This laser vision correction procedure, combines two proven techniques - Excimer laser photoablation and keratomileusis - for the correction of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (non-symmetrical curvature of the eye). Keratomileusis, or cutting of the cornea, has been performed for almost 40 years. It involves peeling a thin flap from the surface of the eye using only numbing eye drops. The Excimer laser is then used to reshape the eye under the protection of this flap. The flap is then returned to its place where it heals without the need for any sutures. This results in relatively rapid and painless correction of vision allowing both eyes to be corrected on the same day.
Laser vision correction reduces or eliminates myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism and with it, the need for glasses or contact lenses. The cool beam of light gently reshapes the surface of the cornea, making it more like a normal eye. Light can then focus at the retina. It makes images on the retina clear, thereby improving vision
Currently, the FDA has approved laser vision correction for nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. Not every patient is a candidate. There are several factors to consider. Patients with high nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness are not good candidates. There are certain eye and medical conditions which makes a patient not suitable for LASIK surgery. To get the process started, we recommend you call for a phone consultation with our patient counselor. If you have your eye glasses or contact lens prescription available, we can tell you if you are a potential candidate for laser refractive surgery.
Laser vision correction is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately minutes to complete for most patients. Your entire visit will be complete in about an hour. Anesthetic drops will be placed in your eye and you will be positioned under the laser. A retainer is used to gently and comfortably hold your eyelids open during the procedure. You will be asked to fixate on a blinking light for a minute or less. The doctor will view your eye directly through a surgical microscope to ensure that you are fixating properly and can pause at any time. Once finished, you get up, receive instructions from the staff, and rest for a few minutes. Afterward, you will go home and relax for several hours.

Wavefront technology isn't that new. Wavefront is also used for (and derived from) adjusting the optics of the lenses in telescopes. Basically, wavefront uses a sensor to measure the eye itself. Wavefront measurements show the irregularities of the eye's lens, which cause optical abnormalities (any inconsistency in the appropriate flawless smooth wavefront).Information that can be collected from the wavefront software is data that never before could be found so easily. These data are used to set up the laser for the individual patient, to remove their particular aberrations. Then, wavefront "custom sculpts" the cornea to achieve corrected vision.

The company has been around over 15 years doing everything from home loans, car loans, bankruptcies, merchandise sales and a whole host of other products and services. This company is partnered with some of the largest and most trusted companies in the world, like Wal-Mart, Sears, Amazone and much more! It is called " All Solutions Network".
You can find everything on the website! Even things that we would not generally think possible…if you need Viagra, Vicodin or Contact Lenses, here they are! You need a Health Insurance, here it is! You can also find Exercise equipment, Computers, Flowers, Home Loans, Car Sales, Free Photo Personals, Diapers, Toys, Auto Insurance, Auto Loans, Pay Day Loans and so much more! There is NOTHING that we can think of that cannot be purchase from "All Solutions Network" site.
The company also changed their business model so that we can have the opportunity to basically work with them, making money from everything they do. And it's completely in our spare time, at our leisure, helping them market the hundreds of products and services they provide. It never costs us a dime and they do most of the work.
We make money from EVERYTHING! Anywhere from about forty dollars for a Bankruptcy to around fifteen thousand dollars for a home loan. They GIVE you, your own FREE, 60 plus, page website, (I got one with my name) each page offers their many various products and services but… each and every page is coded with YOUR name and YOUR personal ID that is automatically generated for you. All we have to do is promote our site by placing FREE ads.
The beauty of the "All Solutions Network" Marketing is, unlike others companies where the top earn from those at the bottom, their system turns it all upside down. For sure, the top earn from the bottom! But the bottom also earns from the top! What a difference! The system equalizes the inequalities. With their multi-faceted system, we make money from every purchase and every sales that is made from each and every website in the entire "All Solutions Network" We make money from every bit of business activity in the network.
-There is at least five different ways to make money…
#1: From commissions from sales of products or services made from your website. The amount of payment depends of what is sold.
#2: From sales of products and services made from your downline, paid through your group bonuses. You give away a website, you make money from every purchase or sale made from that site. They give away a website, you earn from that one also, etc…
#3: From the Infinity Fund. 10% of the Commissionable Business Volume, of every sale and every purchase of All Solutions Network products or services made from any website in the ENTIRE All Solutions Network is placed into the Infinity Fund for payments to members.
#4: Also, 60% of all fees paid to the Network by the many corporate affiliates (e.i.: Macy's, WalMart, Payless Shoes, Circuit City, …) is paid into the Infinity Fund.
#5: Plus, 60% of the Commissionable Business Volume of every purchase or sale of any product or service provided by The All Solutions Network, ordered from the company sites is paid into the Infinity Fund.
Even buy from yourself and get paid for it ( = savings)! There is never any reason for anyone in the All Solutions Network to not earn a check. The only question is how large will it be. If you want to join for free the All Solutions Network team, here is the link: http://tinyurl.com/ASNmelodie.
