Fox News Health Blog published and list of great tips for contact lens users by Dr. Michael Ehrenhaus.

The entire article, titled Seeing Clearly: Safety Tips to Ensure Healthy Contact Lens Use, includes these highlights:

1. Wash and dry your hands before handling your lenses
2. Do not wear lens overnight and if possible try daily disposables
3. Always keep lenses, the solutions, and the storage cases in a clean, dry environment. Never use regular tap water to clean your lenses or cases.
4. Do not ?share? lenses with friends or relatives. (The fit may be incorrect and you can potentially cause more harm than good).
5. Don?t purchase cosmetic lenses without a proper examination and recommendation from an eye care specialist.

The article was published after Fox News reported on an Australian man suing a U.S. contact lens solution maker, claiming the solution caused partial blindness.

With the upcoming release of the anxiously awaited Paramount film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, we've been getting requests for information on the eyeglasses frames that Harrison Ford wore in the previous three editions of the film franchise.

Here's the scoop. The original glasses frames were made by British Optical Importing Company (BOIC) and were the Model Beaufort P3, blonde with yellow gold and metal (zyl) rims, filled with 14K yellow gold.

The closest eye glass frames to these available now (and they are very close, basically duplicates) are Berkshire Chase eyeglasses, specifically:

Savile Row Panto Beaufort 14kt eyeglasses in Chestnut.

English Beaufort 2 eyeglasses in Chestnut Acetate front with gold cable temples.



Enjoy the movie!
