August Sight Saving Month

With most Filipinos taking their eyes for granted and failing to see the importance of having routine eye checkups, until there is already a problem, possibly a critical one at that. Eye experts urge the public to have their eyes thoroughly checked regularly.

Every August our country celebrates “Sight Saving Month”. The objective is to promote better awareness for eye health and encourage Filipinos to have their eyes checked. It aims to strengthen public awareness of the importance of proper eye care and the prevention of avoidable blindness and eye diseases.

Avoidable blindness and visual impairment is a serious global health issue. It imposes a significant health, social, and economic burden on individuals and communities. With the aim of eliminating the main causes of avoidable blindness by the year 2020, the global initiative ‘VISION 2020: The Right to Sight’ was launched in 1999 by the World Health Organization in partnership with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, which promoted the development of sustainable eye care programs based on the three core strategies of disease control, human resource development and infrastructure and technology, incorporating the principles of primary health care. 

Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of visual impairment, while cataract remains the leading cause of blindness. Furthermore, 65% of visually-impaired and 82% of blind people are over 50 years old.

The top three causes of visual impairment are uncorrected refractive errors, cataract, and glaucoma. On the other hand, the top three causes of blindness are cataract, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. 

  

In the Philippines, the current estimated number of persons who are bilaterally blind is 569,072, of which 62.1% is due to cataract, 10.3% due to uncorrected refractive errors, 8% due to glaucoma, and 4% due to retinopathies. 

  

George Optical supports this celebration and promotion of public awareness by offering a free comprehensive eye examination and initial contact lens assessment for the entire month of August, discounts will also be given on selected frames on all its twenty five (25) branches nationwide.

Patients can also give back by donating their old wearable eyeglasses, which in turn will be given to the less fortunate through the Dr. George Co, Sr. Foundation, in honor of George Optical’s founder.

For more than fifty years running, George Optical has a strong commitment to quality, and its success story is simply of a company with a heart and a simple vision: to make lives better through healthy vision. Truly, George Optical with its Chief Optometrist and President, Dr. Geoffrey Co, together with a team of licensed Optometrists and in-house ophthalmologist ensure that the founder’s philosophy lives on today. 

Dressing Appropriately at the Workplace

Fashion has come a long way and fashion forward people don't really care what others would say about the clothes they're wearing. Nowadays, it's usually anything goes especially if you're just going to the mall or on a casual meeting with family and/or friends. But office attire is a different matter altogether. A lot of people go to great lengths just to look their best at the office because dressing well and dressing appropriately, let's face it, adds to your officemates' good impression of you. Furthermore, you feel more confident and in control when you know that you dress the part of a successful career woman. 

There're a couple of items that you're not allowed to wear to work such as sheer clothes. Whether it's a transparent skirt or dress, or a thin T-shirt, it's just not right for a professional setting. Cut-off denim shorts is also a no-no. It's just too casual and more appropriate for a weekend getaway. Women should also avoid wearing too tight shirts and dresses. You wouldn't feel comfortable anyway when you know that everybody's staring at your body. Another thing that you shouldn't be wearing at the workplace are flip flops. You'd look like a total fashion failure if you wear them to work, and you wouldn't want to look too comfortable among your colleagues. You also shouldn't be wearing sneakers.  

Suffice to say that never look trashy at the office. You should always look respectable, from head to toe, and that doesn't just apply to the tops, skirts, pants, and dresses you're wearing. While you're at it, make sure that your accessories, as well as your gadgets, can be as bedazzled and ornamented as you, with tech accessories from Zalora. Have fun dressing up at work but not "too fun" that people no longer take you seriously. 

Shop and Get Your Money Back at ShopBack

Whenever I'm stressed and feel like getting away from all the rigors of everyday life, I turn to shopping. I used to like going to the mall but the worsening traffic and other hassles of shopping in a brick and mortar store, made me love online shopping more. I've actually been buying stuff via the net for a long time. It started with ebay and Multiply stores, and then I eventually sauntered off to other famous online stores. Not only is it more convenient, it's also faster, easier, and there're many items to choose from. You can shop anytime, anywhere with just a few clicks even in your pajamas. Then, all you have to do is wait for your purchases to be delivered right at your doorstep. 

But shopping can really put a hole in your pocket if you don't watch out. Good thing there're sites that offer coupons, discounts, and other freebies. There's also ShopBack, a website that source the best deals and discounts for you on fashion, lifestyle, travel, and many more. They then give you cashback on top of existing voucher codes and discounts when you shop online (through their site) at any of their 300+ merchant stores. It's one of Southeast Asia's largest and fastest growing online loyalty platform. If I've known about this site sooner, I would have recovered most of the money I've spent shopping by now since they reward shoppers with up to 30% cashback. What's even more amazing is that your cashback is unlimited, meaning the more you spend, the more you earn your money back. Furthermore, cashing out is easy because the money can be transferred to most banks (BDO, BPI, Metrobank) and through Paypal. 

ShopBack is simple and easy to use. First, click the store you want to shop in (there're hundreds of stores to choose from). Secondly, you'll be redirected to the store you chose. Finally, once you're there, shop as usual and make your purchase on the merchant's site. You'll then receive your cashback within 1 - 2 days which will be reflected on your ShopBack account. If you want to buy another item, just repeat the whole process. 

If you visit ShopBack's main site, you'll see that it's uncluttered and the font they used is big and can be easily read. This is another reason why I like them. I don't have to strain my eyes looking for something. Browse the categories namely Fashion, Electronics, Travel, Lifestyle, Food and Beverage, Home and Living, General, Popular, and New In. Click the category you want and all the coupons from the different merchants will appear. You'll also see the cashback percentage you'll receive (which differs from store to store). Among the participating stores/merchants are Zalora, Lazada, Romwe, Sheinside, Shopbop and many more.  

Don't take my word for it. Head on over to ShopBack.ph and see for yourself how fun it is to shop and save big bucks at the same time.

Calayan Secrets

The celebrated doctor- to-the-stars, Dr. Manny and Dra. Pie Calayan, took the time to celebrate their twentieth years of success, helping women and men become even more beautiful – inside and out- by sharing something exclusive with close media friends in an atmosphere that’s casual, light yet fun.

Founders and owners of the prestigious CALAYAN SURGICENTRE- Dr. Manny and Pie Calayan have long recognized the need of Filipino men and women to have a truly clear, fair, soft and smooth unblemished complexion despite being exposed to a humid, tropical climate and polluted environment which tend to cause skin problems, which, unless checked, may worsen. Both have thus decided it’s time to share their best kept secret: a simple regimen that with continued use can really give the desired result.

This year, on their 20th year, the unparalleled authority in beauty reveals CALAYAN SECRETS. Common skin problems like uneven or blotchy, or dull, dry or rough textured skin have been the cause  of shame, misery and lack of confidence among many youths and adults alike. Just as skin types are different, so should it be when it comes to one’s choice of soap. Imagine the frustration of many who believed in the hype that failed to yield the results desired. By now, consumers have wizened up, realistic too, that not all soaps can provide one’s skin with the silky, smooth, soft-to-the-touch suppleness, nor can it really make one’s skin whiter like this or that with a celebrity.

“Hope is now here”, says the iconic couple. “CALAYAN SECRETS is a specially formulated skin whitening body beauty bar that is gentle to use daily on the skin- the face, and on the whole body actually. Because CALAYAN SECRETS SKIN WHITENINGBODY BEAUTY BAR’s main ingredients contain only the finest grade of Glutathione, Kojic Acid, Vitamin C to help draw out the result your desire..your true beauty.”

“As we often say, the skin is a person’s best asset,” says Dr. Manny and Dra. Pie Calayam, adding, “The secret to achieving clear, smooth and fairer skin- starting with the face and down to the tips and soles of the feet- is now revealed for every man and woman to uncover…with every use of CALAYAN SECRETS SKIN WHITENING BODY BEAUTY BAR.”

C THE DIFFERENCE. CALAYAN SECRETS. The SKIN WHITENING BEAUTY BAR for HIM and for HER. Now available in Mercury Drugstores nearest you.

Once you reach 1,000 market points, you can now get your reward or money through Paypal within 5 days unlike before that you can only cashout via cheque payment and receiving it after 60 to 80 days. You can likewise cashout your rewards by choosing to get coupon codes from Zalora and Lazada. If you prefer the old-fashioned way (cheque payments), you can also do so.
