Molsom & Associates Optometrists of Spalding recently held an exciting Beach Party, where the full-range of Maui Jim sunglasses were showcased for the day. There was a giant Parrot shipped over from Hawaii to entertain the children and the adults alike. There were fruit cocktails served from a fountain, and a free prize draw to win a fantastic pair of Maui Jim sunglasses arguably the best sunglasses in the world
Andy Molsom, owner of Molsom & Associates Optometrists said “It was an exhilarating day, we had a great deal of interest in this fabulous brand of sunglasses and their unique abilities to stop glare and improve visual discomfort in the sun. It was particularly noted by drivers how much better they are than other sunglasses.”
The staff entered into the spirit of the day by wearing Hawaiian floral garlands. The winner of the Free Prize Draw was Peter Knights from Pinchbeck.
An independent survey of Molsom Optometrists patients conducted between January and April, found that over 99% of those asked rated the overall service they received as either good or excellent.
During the months in question every patient seen at the Spalding branch of Molsom & Associates was invited to participate in a comprehensive survey rating the quality of care and professional services they received. The results were subsequently analysed and published by an independent research company.
Working with local schools to promote children’s eye care, Molsom Optometrists organised an Easter Egg Competition for children up to year 3. The winners of each category received a large chocolate Easter Egg and a pair of Polaroid sunglasses. The prize was very kindly donated by Thorntons at Hills Department store. Runners up in each category also received a chocolate Easter Egg.
Binocular vision is the ability to align both eyes accurately on an object and combine the visual images from each eye into a single, in-depth perception. It is the reliance on binocular vision that makes us perceive 3D imagery on TVs and game consoles.
There are actually many technical variations on 3D imagery for TV. The display either shows two perspectives of an image to your eyes at different times (active glasses) or both perspectives are on the screen at the same time but each eye is only able to see one perspective because of eyewear or a special filter on the screen.
