Free online digest offers readers information, advice on optimizing vision and
performance

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- To help families
better understand the important connection between vision and performance,
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., makers of ACUVUE(R) Brand Contact lenses,
is offering BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE(TM), a free online educational digest with
advice from experts on how to keep eyes healthy for better performance.
"We know there's a connection between excellent vision and overall
performance, so good eye health and optimal vision correction should be a
consideration for all performance-minded individuals," says Optometrist,
researcher, and author Graham B. Erickson, O.D., F.A.A.O., F.C.O.V.D.
"Uncorrected or under-corrected vision problems can be major contributing
factors to computer-related eye stress, affecting visual performance and
comfort," adds Jeffrey Anshel, O.D., author of Visual Ergonomics in the
Workplace.
Both doctors agree that poor vision should not limit performance, and
stress the importance of regular eye examinations, as well as making sure to
see an eye care professional if you experience vision problems or discomfort.
BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE(TM) features advice from doctors Erickson, Anshel,
and other experts on keeping your eyes healthy for better performance on the
athletic field, behind the wheel of a car, and even in front of your computer
screen. Also included are tips on simple exercises you can do at home to make
ocular muscles more efficient, information on a free brochure on eye health
and allergies, and advice on how to protect your eyes from dangerous UV rays.

ACUVUE(R) Brand Contact Lenses, is available for free download at
www.acuvue.com/bethebestyoucanbe for a limited time.
*Professional exam and fitting fees not included. Valid only while
