Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter Passes Away at Age 96
When I got married and moved to a Ranch north of Tucson, Arizona, I was still a broadcaster for an ABC TV affiliate Magazine show, but the rest of my life completely changed. I remember when the late First Lady Rosalynn Carter arrived at our Kai Ranch and greeted our family. She was beautiful and very kind. She wrote me a handwritten note wishing me good wishes in happiness and health. I wish I could thank her for her kindness again. Thank you First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

GENERAL FORECAST

            During the Year of the Water Snake, the element of water sits on top of the fire element so they are in conflict. The Snake represents the month of May, a time of vigorous plant growth and signaling the oncoming zenith of summer, the hottest time of the year, possibly sparking revolution, change, violence and conflict. In recent times, the attack on Pearl Harbor fall of the Berlin Wall as well the Soviet Union, Tiananmen Square and 9/11 all occurred during Snake years. It is likely that there will be accidents and disasters involving air and sea, trains and ships, tornadoes and hurricanes, explosions and fires.  Children continue to be at risk.

                 

Wear glasses? Want to improve your eye sight? Try Ortho-K

Wear glasses? Want to improve your eye sight? Try Ortho-K

Do you wear glasses? You may be able to free yourself from glasses and contact lenses by using a non-surgical procedure called Ortho-K.  Ortho-K has been an authorzied vision improvement procedure for more than thirty years.

The procedure improves your eyesight while you sleep. Specially manufactured high-tech, therapeutic Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the eyes front curvature, improving your eyesight, including nearsightedness and astigmatism. 

Most of the visual changes occur rapidly with Ortho-K patients during the first few weeks. With frequent examinations and progressive lens changes, stabilization procedures follow at a slower pace over the next few months. 

Visual improvement occurs rapidly in weeks. After correction, most patients can see better without the help from glasses or full contact lens wear. Free from surgical risk, the process is convenient and comfortable, without disrupting visual performance. 

Ortho-K Accelerated Orthokeretology is a specialty of Dr. Donald Harris of Newport Beach, California. Dr. Harris is currently developing a procedure to stabilize the vision improvement using therapeutic eye drops. 

Dr. Harris invites you to call for a free screening and consultation to see if you are a candidate.

Dr. Harris has been practicing in Newport Beach for more than 35 years.
