Zeiss Better Vision Educational Tools

I've been wearing glasses for over 20 years so I know the importance of being knowledgeable in the health of your eyes. Zeiss Better Vision knows that too, so they've come out with some great educational tools to help you understand your vision,to find the best lenses for ytour eyes, and what to do during your next eye appointment.

Zeiss Educational Tools

• 1. Facts to know about vision and lenses
• 2. Tips for selecting an eye doctor
• 3. Questions to ask at your next eye appointment
• 4. Facts to know about age-related vision changes

I trust my Optometrist has my vision in her best interest, but I know I need to keep myself in the know too.
 I am near sighted and have Astigmatism in my right eye, and reading about  the changes in my vision as I get older was "eye opening" (pun intended :D) As much as I hate to admit, I am getting older and I need to be more aware of potential changes.
I'm lucky to have a great Doctor on my side, but it's important to find the best one who will best suite your needs. Some of the tips from Ziess-
*Maintain your regular eye exams. SO IMPORTANT!
*Determine if your Dr is covered by your insurance, contact your company or call the office your interested to see if they accept your plan!
*Know the difference between an Optometrist and an Ophthalmologist!!
An Optometrist is a Doctor specializing in prescribing your lenses and can diagnose any issues. An Ophthalmologist can treat those issues and diseases and perform eye surgery.

There is so much to know, and Zeiss Better Vision is helping you to get educated!
As moms, we make sure our children have the best when it comes to their health, let's not forget about ourselves!

Check out VueZone Personal Video Network!

We haven't ventured into the babysitter world yet, I haven't felt brave enough to leave my boys with people other than family. I've recently learned of a product that I think will keep my  mind at ease when the time comes to leave my boys with a sitter-VueZone! VueZone Personal Video Network is a remote video system that's so easy, even *I* can use it :D I'm not very tech savvy and am often intimidated by the lastest and greatest devices but VueZone has great step by step tutorials  on their website that makes learning the system as easy as pie!
Some information I thought was worth noting:
No wires = no installation! Just take the VueZone out of the box and in about 15 minutes you're set up and Publish Postready to roll!
You can set up your cameras in any room in your home.

You can view the video on a computer or have it set up on your smartphone so you can check in on the go-That is what appealed to me the most!
It's compact and better yet-it's affordable!
Footage can be saved and emailed to you so you have access to any video you want in the future.

Just set up one account online and you can view the cameras from multiple sources . 

This system if great for families, daycare centers, schools, and more!!
A system like this is worth the peace of mind it will give to any parent when they can't be home with their kids (or pets too :D) and peace of mind is worth just about any price in my book!

Learn More about the VueZone Personal Video Network and how it works!
