Glare is caused by light being broadly scattered as it bounces off a highly reflective surface, such as water, your car's windshield, or even your own glasses. The most recent advancement used to reduce glare has been thd coating. This lens coating is usually applied to your spectacle lenses in a dust-fre- e vacuum' chamber. It's very effective for the majority of my patients, from outdoors men to rush-hodrivers. Another solution may be polarized lenses. With polarized lenses a microscopic "screen" within the lens acts to filter out consumers on timing for ur neiptui t bothered by glare around water. This problem, is made worse by dirty only lenses and inappropriate prescription.

Thinking about sending them a holiday card, letter or gift? You'll want to mail as early as possible to get it there on time. And with the holiday mailing season beginning the day after Thanksgiving, you'll want to visit the Postal Services web site, www.usps.com, to help you with recommended mailing dates, packaging tips, rates, simplified customs forms and selecting the international service that's right for you. And letters to the North Pole? They're considered domestic mail and require only a First-Class te. postage stamp. When sending packages, whether within the United States or abroad, it's a good idea to place a card inside the box with the name and address of the recipient and a list of the contents. If outer wrapping is separated from the box, this will help keep it moving to the right address. And be sure to include a return address on all letters and packages, too.

International Addressing Tips Put foreign postil codes, if known, in front of the city or town name and on the same line. Place the city or town name and the province or slate name on the next line after the street address information. Write the name of the foreign country in capital letters on the last line of the address. Packaging Tips Select a box that is strong enough to protect the contents. Leave space for cushioning inside the carton. Cushion package contents with shredded or rolled newspaper, bubble wrap, or Styrofoam peanuts. Plain popcorn is also good for cushioning; it's inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Pack tightly to avoid shifting. Always use tape that is designed for shipping, such as pressure-sensitiv- e tape, nylon reinforced kraft paper tape, or ed glass-reinforc- ed pressure-- tape. Do not use wrapping paper, string, masking tape, or cellophane tape. Put the delivery and return addresses on' one side only of the package. Suggestion: Place a return address label inside the package. Stuff glas and fragile hollow items, like vases, with newspaper or packing material to avoid damage due to shock. When mailing framed photographs, take the glass out of the frame and wrap it separately. Remove batteries from toys. Wrap and place them next to the toys in the mailing box. Take packages that weigh at least 1 pound into the post office for mailing. Obtain Express Mail and Priority Mail boxes, envelopes, and tubes for free from your post office. Purchase packaging products, including tape, envelopes, padded bags, corrugated boxes, mailing tubes, and cushioning material, from your post office.
