Reducing visual fatigue factors like annoying reflections contributes to easier learning. As with skin, childrens eyes are sensitive to cumulative damage caused by UV up to age 12. The eye's crystalline lens allows UV to pass directly through to the retinas. Also, children are very active and more vulnerable to injuries. That is why it is essential to ensure the lens quality and impact resistance to limit the risks of injury in case of impact. For all these reasons we recommend polycarbonate lenses with a scratch-resistant and reflection-free coating. Benefits include: 1.) Protection: *12 times more impact resistant than a regular plastic lens · Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB 2.) Comfort: · Up to 50% lighter than a regular plastic lens · Improved contrast and reduced reflections from surrounding lights 3.) Aesthetic: * Up to 35% thinner than a regular plastic lens · Very transparent Q : I have heard there is a new laser comb that promotes hair growth. Its rather expensive. Does it really work? A : As of this date, there is absolutely no oral or topical product, or any device available, that will promise you hair growth. If that were the case, it would be a real discovery and a major breakthrough. The laser comb works this way. You are booked for sessions at our clinic or you can simply purchase the comb and use it at home. Laser combs will stimulate your scalp, and stimulation is the best way to ensure healthy existing hair. If you have a history of female or male pattern baldness, or just fine, thin, limp hair, it certainly wont hurt to use it. In some cases, our clients have reported their hair loss has stopped or slowed down. Don't be sold on the fact that this new laser technique will regrow your Iiair.lt is merely to keep your existing hair and scalp in a healthy state. For more information and prices, please call our Clinic to book your free consultation.

Question: What is the best approach to dealing with the succession issue of the Family Cottage? Answer: This question gets more and more important as escalating cottage prices seem to be catching up with Oakville residential prices. We strongly advocate a two part answer. First, the cottage owners (usually the parents) need to meet with their trusted advisor to understand the options they have and the pros and cons of those options. These options are not just limited to tax questions but equally importantly delve into issues like: ownership structure and control, managing the maintenance, making sure the property is ready before family members (guests) arrive and after they leave, who controls access (does the scheduling) to the property, who will pay the bills now and when the property ultimately passes to the successors, and how are inequities to be addressed (those who live far away and those who cannot afford as much as their other siblings). Believe it or not, there are answers to all of these issues and a broad consensus can be arrived at. Then the second part is to have a "Family Council" where all vested parties (sometimes without their spouses) will sit,down and review the broad consensus. Here there must be a willingness to make some modifications and accommodations but the use of a strong facilitator greatly expedites the process and family harmony is maintained now and into the future. ve any questions the " c/o The Oakville
