If You?re Over 40, Use Reading Glasses, And Are Frustrated By Cameras, Cell Phones and Consumer Electronics You Can?t View Or Use, There is Now a Web Site For You.
There are 90 million Americans and 9 million Canadians who are frustrated. They buy digital cameras, cell phones, digital music players, home entertainment devices, take them home and discover the devices have menus in a tiny 6- or 8-point font. The products are pretty much unusable, even with reading glasses.Almost a third of the American population needs reading glasses, but engineers designing the latest gizmos are typically under 40 with perfect vision. So what you get?
Products that you can't see and use if you have presbyopia (in other words, you need reading glasses). Alistair Davidson, founder and Publisher of EasierToUse.com started the web site and newsletter in August, 2004.
He figured he was not alone in his personal frustration at shopping for digital products that were difficult to use for people need reading glasses."I remember the first time I realized I needed reading glasses. I was the designated navigator in a rental car at night in Chicago attempting to read a Budget Rent-a-car map with a 6 or 8 point font. I realized I could not read the map until my aunt handed me her reading glasses and I realized I could see with them. Since then I have observed that cost and design pressures often drive manufacturers of cameras, PDAs, digital music devices, home entertainment devices to use screens and fonts that are just simply too small for anybody with even a modest reading glasses prescription."Robert Randall, Editor of the EasierToUse Newsletter comments: "You know the amazing thing about user-oriented design is that, often designs like Oxo's GoodGrips kitchenware, designed for older people with arthritis, are so attractive that younger people without the problem prefer the high design products. In the same way, digital device vendors like Sony that have consistently committed to larger displays in their digital cameras and videocams will, we believe, find that high viewability and easier usage are features that everyone wants, no matter what their age or prescription."EasierToUse started up in August 2004 and is adding reviews and ratings of cameras, cell phones, PDAs, digital music devices and consumer electronics products as vendors provide them with products for review.For more information on EasierToUse.com and to subscribe to its newsletter, please visit htt://www.easiertouse.com .EasierToUse, EasierToSee, EasiestToUse, EasiestToSee, EasierToUse+EasierToSee, EasiestToUse+EasiestToSee, and No Reading Glasses Needed, are trademarks of Alacritous Inc.

Water...How It Effects Aging
How many times have your heard ? drink eight to ten glasses of water everyday?
How often do we actually drink that much pure water?Would you believe that as you are reading this page you are dehydrating?
We were all born as grapes, but now we are turning into raisins.
Your body was once more than 70% water and now, if you're like most Americans past the age of 40, you are lucky to have a hydration level above 60%.
The bodies of most hospitalized elderly are less than 50% water.Today, Americans consume more coffee and soft drinks than water.
These beverages, along with tea and alcohol, are diuretics and dehydrate the body.
All the moisturizer in the world will not restore a youthful appearance.
By dehydrating your body you are actually pulling a hundred times as much water out of your skin through the urinary tract.
Much worse than the skin dehydrating, is the dehydration of the internal organs, connective tissue and...

Clear Readers: Reading Glasses With an Invisible Presence.
When faced with the reality of having to wear reading glasses some people will try anything to avoid them. There is another option that allows you to wear reading glasses, but keep it low key so others may not even notice you have them on. Clear plastic reading glasses have an invisible look to them. For those not happy with the idea of wearing reading glasses this may be their answer.The idea of plastic frames can turn some people off. In the past plastic frames were quite heavy as compared to metal frames.
However, the technology today has allowed for the creation of lightweight plastics, like zyl or TR-90 memory flex plastic. TR-90 memory plastic also offers an added benefit of being flexible that makes frames much more durable. Memory plastics have the ability to form to the wearers face to provide a comfortable, custom fit with every wear.

Increased Cancer Risk From Using Light During the Few Hours Before Bedtime, According to New Studies
Pepper Pike, OH (ContentDesk) June 19, 2006 -- The May 2006
Journal Cancer Cause Control
contains scientific studies that again warn of the danger of the nighttime use of artificial light.
They confirm many previous studies that conclude that suppression of the hormone melatonin by exposing the eyes to light during the night leads to an increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers as well. Scientists have been issuing this warning since the early 1990s. For some unexplained reason the media have been very slow to make this information known to those with the greatest need to know, namely cancer survivors and those at high risk
because of their genetics. Perhaps the reason is the false belief that there is nothing people can do about it, so why alarm them.
Less well publicized studies by Brainard in the US and Thapan in the UK showed that not all colors of light have the same effect on the pineal gland, the source of melatonin. It is...

Bifocal Contact Lenses for Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a vision condition in which they eyes are not able to focus clearly on near objects. It usually begins after the age of about forty when the lenses in the eye start reducing in flexibility. Presbyopia affects around 90 million adults in the USA alone and about one in four patients passing through an optometrist's door will suffer from it.
Symptoms of presbyopia include difficulty in reading, difficulty in seeing in low lighting conditions and, occasionally, headaches.
