Recovery Pillow
Written by on November 30, 2009 – 2:24 am -Only 25 days before Christmas and I still haven’t shop any Christmas gifts yet for my family and friends. I am yet to find nice items to give them, I am thinking of giving my mom this nice jobst stockings I saw over the net, this would be very beneficial to my mom since she had been long complaining with her aching varicose veins. This stockings provides relief from tired, aching legs and varicose veins. it give a gentle squeeze at the ankle and up the legs to help that achy feeling in your legs. How about the wedge pillow or otherwise known as the oxygen pillow that helps those people who has some medical condition, I think this will be nice for my Dad who has some sleeping trouble since he has a backache. I think its much pretty nice to give gifts that are useful and will be much appreciated by the one receiving it.

ADHD
Written by on November 19, 2009 – 4:28 pm -I remember before when we went to the mall and there is this one instance wherein we were at the kid’s apparel section looking for some shirts and dresses for our kids when an old lady gave a remark on my DS (who on that moment is running around with her sister and couldn’t stay put beside us) that he might has an ADHD. I just shrugged it off being clueless on what she’s talking about, but at the back of my mind I was asking myself what is ADHD? I’ve learned later on that the Common ADHD symptoms include inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behavior. Which led me into thinking that it might be the reason why the old lady gave that remark to my DS. But I am certain that he is not.
My New Eyeglasses
Written by on November 19, 2009 – 4:15 pm -Bought this new frame few weeks ago to a nearby Optical shop, but didn’t pursue in having the lenses’ grade done in their shop since the price is way too high and out of the budget, the optometrist told me that since my eyes grade is too high, the lenses are on special order basis. It will take 2 – 4 weeks before it can be done. lenses will come in plastic and had it Ultra-thinned. She billed me P7k, just for the lenses! That a big no for me! since the frame costs hefty already, we decided to go to P. Paterno in Quiapo, it is where you can find lot of suppliers of Optical shops. Went to Abesamis Optical shop, wherein I had my lenses done before. Got a good deal on the lenses, half the price from where I bought my frames! It really pays enough to get around to find a few good deals.
And the prescription:
I am actually clueless on what these numbers mean. lol! but the optometrist told me that my eyes grades are way up high. So I need to take extra care of it.
and so I searched the net for abbreviations and terms of prescription HERE
- D.V. is an abbreviation for “distance vision”. This specifies the part of the prescription designed primarily to improve far vision. In a bifocal lens, this generally indicates what is to be placed in the top segment.
- N.V. is an abbreviation for “near vision”. This may represent a single-vision lens prescription to improve near work, or the reading portion of a bifocal lens. Some prescription forms use “ADD” in place of “N.V.” with a single box to indicate the additional refractive power to be added to the spherical of each eye.
- O.D. is an abbreviation for oculus dexter, Latin for “right eye.” (Some eyeglass prescriptions simply say “left” and “right” instead of “O.S.” and “O.D.”) Oculus means “eye” (as in “oculist,” an old term for an eye doctor).
- O.S. is an abbreviation for oculus sinister, Latin for “left eye”.
- O.U. is an abbreviation for oculi uterque, Latin for “both eyes”.
- A spherical correction corrects refractive error of the eye with a single convergent or divergent refractive power in all meridians.
- A cylindrical correction corrects astigmatic refractive error of the eye by adding or subtracting power cylindrically in a meridian specified by the prescribed axis.
