n average, more than nine in 10 adults (93.3 percent) spend more than two hours each day using a digital device, with more than six in 10 adults (60.8 percent) spending five or more hours on digital devices each day. Whether it’s for work or play, using computers, smartphones, tablets and e-readers TV or video games, all that time can take a toll on the eyes and lead to digital eye strain. WHAT IS DIGITAL EYE STRAIN? Digital eye strain is the physical d is c om for t felt after two or more hours in front of a digital screen and is associated with the close to mid-range distance of digital screens, including desktop and laptop computers, tablets, e-readers and cell phones. On average, a person going through his or her daily routine blinks about 18 times per minute. However, spending significant amounts of time staring at a screen causes blink rates to reduce, resulting in dry, itchy

or burning eyes. Adults with computer-oriented jobs feel the strain most acutely. A 2014 study found that office workers who spend significant time in front of computer screens and experience eye strain undergo changes in tear fluid similar to people with dry eye disease, creating a physiological change. Tools are available to help technology users alleviate the discomfort of digital eye strain,

maintain vision health and prevent further eye discomfort. When used in tandem with practical “eyegonomic” health tips, lenses tailored for digital screen use (computer f i n d

eyewear) can reduce or even prevent digital eye strain. HOW DO DIGITAL DEVICES IMPACT CHILDREN? Children today have grown up with technology always at their fingertips. It seems as if kids learn how to use a smartphone or tablet before they learn to walk. Whether it’s playing the latest game or doing homework, technology permeates a child’s life and does so at a young age. Because this is a new p h e n om e n on , n o t much is known about the longterm impact of c o mp u t e r s o r other digital gadgets on pediatric eyes. Howe ver, e ye care providers have reported seeing an increase in cases of myopia, or nearsightedness. Acc ording to t he National Eye Institute, more than 34 million Americans suffer with myopia, a number that is projected to rise to nearly 40 million by 2030. Although there is no one specific cause for the increase,

scientists point to a mix of genetic and environmental factors, including increasing near-range activities such as the use of digital devices, and decreasing exposure to natural light through outdoor activities. Digital eye strain can also affect children and teens, whose eyes may fatigue after long periods of use. Computers and smartphones are often tied to every facet of a young person’s life— from school to socializing, there is little respite from the constant use of technology. To ensure children’s eyes are developing normally, parents should ensure their child receives comprehensive annual eye exams. An eye care provider can evaluate any symptoms or physical discomfort stemming from use of digital devices, and may suggest tools and tips to help children protect their eyes. Many parents aren’t heeding the warnings from medical professionals on the need to monitor digital device use among kids. One in four children uses digital devices for more than three hours a day. In fact, 15 percent of survey respondents report they don’t limit their children’s screen time at all. And while 22 percent of parents say they are very concerned about the potentially harmful impact of digital devices on developing eyes, 30 percent report not being CONTINUED ON PAGE 3… PAGE 1

He loves company, loves to explore, and play with his toys. Milo has tested positive for FIV (the feline immunodeficiency virus), but his immune system can be protected by keeping him as an indoor-only kitty. The virus cannot be passed to dogs or people. Milo was also born with a heart condition requiring a daily dose of Atenolol- a tasty liquid that is very inexpensive ($10/month). But he is worth it, because this fellow is full of love and is very intelligent. Milo is being offered at a very special low adoption fee (sponsored by Main St Mini Storage). He tested negative for feline leukemia, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, defleaed and dewormed.

continued from front cover… concerned at all about this issue. Digital devices are an easy — and often welcome — way for parents to distract their children, but it’s important for adults to limit overexposure. Although limiting screen time is the best way to reduce or prevent digital eye strain, parents can also follow these tips to help their children develop good habits while using digital devices: • Consider investing in computer eyewear for your child to prevent digital eye strain and to block blue light exposure. • Encourage children to take breaks when using digital devices. • Make sure children don’t put the screen too close to their eyes, especially for long periods of time. • If a child is doing schoolwork on a computer, set up the workspace properly. This includes having a chair that encourages correct posture, with both feet flat on the floor.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT DIGITAL EYE STRAIN? Just like people need different pairs of shoes for different occasions, there is also a need for different, specialized lenses to cater to varied vision needs. To accommodate how much lives have changed in the decade with digital devices, the optical industry has developed lens treatments that limit the amount of blue light penetrating eyes while also preventing vision fatigue caused by prolonged use of technology. Computer eyewear is specially designed for optimizing vision when viewing content on screens and can be provided with or without a prescription. This eyewear can utilize different filters, lenses and materials tailored to lifestyle needs. Users experience more relaxation, sharper focus and reduced blurriness and pixilation, which can cause discomfort unless corrected. The lens designs allow adults and children’s eyes to relax, adjusting to intermediate-distance objects and reducing glare during prolonged use

of digital devices. One of the most popular lens options is the anti-reflective, or AR, lens, which decreases reflection from overhead lighting to improve acuity and contrast. These specialized lenses can be combined with blue light-blocking capabilities. Blue light-blocking lenses selectively absorb harmful blue light, keeping it from entering through the cornea and reaching the back of the eye. These lenses are either infused with melanin or made to filter a specific range of blue light. When examining the best options, consumers should take into consideration the amount of

time spent in front of their computer, ambient lighting conditions, distance from their computer and the type of computer work being done. Consider if there are short bursts of computer work interspersed with meetings or other activities away from the desk. This will help determine between the need for lenses that offer a very wide, but shallow field of view (ideal for sustained computer work) and one that offers good computer vision but also lets you see clearly wherever you are inside the workplace.

MAGICALLY OUT OF THE BLUE Walt Disney Studios • Rated PG Released on Home Video September 15, 2015

henever it seems like an old fairy tale can’t surprise us, Disney’s creative team comes up with an impressive new production like their live-action version of Cinderella. We expect a beautiful orphan sleeping in the cinders, an evil stepmother, nasty stepsisters, and a handsome prince, but out of the blue we also get a kooky fairy godmother, an indulgent King, and a nefarious Grand Duke, who add refreshing twists to the story. Directed by Kenneth Branagh with opulent sets and truly wondrous costumes, Cinderella is just enough sweet mixed with exciting, plus a little magic, to be a whole lot of fun.

But before we take the enchanted pumpkin to the royal ball, we learn about a girl named Ella whose parents loved her very much. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes leaving Ella an orphan in the care of her questionable stepmother. Still, she meets the world with kindness and courage, and her love of animals leads to a chance meeting with the Prince. With a nod to Disney’s animated Cinderella, Ella’s fairy godmother appears

Undeterred, the Prince continues his search with the remaining glass slipper hoping to find the girl of his dreams, but the sly Grand Duke steps in again to stop the romance. In the end, Ella finds the courage to be herself and the kindness to forgive her stepmother.

FOR THE PARENTS Rachel and Greg get past the awkwardness.

Friendships Continually Unfold Fox Searchlight Pictures, Rated: PG-13 Released on Home Video October 6, 2015

Winter Season Registration Deadline Friday, Nov. 6th

very once in a while, a young adult film leaps beyond its targeted adolescent audience and lands right at the edge mainstream cinema. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is absolutely one of those movies. Unfortunately, its national marketing was limited even after it won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, but that demonstrates again how Hollywood often gets it wrong. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a tender, smart, funny, and crazy coming-of-age story that will resonate with anyone who navigated the perils of high school and lived to tell about it. And telling the story of his senior year is exactly what our hero, Greg Gaines, sets out to do. We learn that he’s a fly-under-the-radar teenager who tries to get along with everyone, he can’t make up his mind about college, and his quirky parents regularly snoop in his room. One day, Greg’s mother insists that he make contact with a casual friend, Rachel, because she’s been diagnosed with leukemia. An awkward face to face turns into a genuine friendship and Greg eventually introduces Rachel to his filmmaking buddy, Earl Jackson. Albeit reluctantly, Greg also allows Rachel to watch his collection of self-made parody movies to cheer her up. We follow Greg’s dawning realization that his relationship with Rachel has turned into the deep companionship of soulmates. But his awakening comes at a price and Greg is unable to remain invisible at school, which leads to all sorts of misunderstandings. Fair warning — Greg is an unreliable narrator and his story melds into Rachel’s story, which, despite the need for three tissues, is beautiful and uplifting to the very end. Only then does Greg understand that a life has treasures that continually reveal themselves.

Dear Earthtalk: My neighbor uses Roundup in her yard routinely and tells me it’s harmless to people and pets, but I’ve heard that it is carcinogenic. Can you set the record straight? — Maise Alexander, New Hope, PA

onsanto’s Roundup herbicides contain three key components: the active ingredient glyphosate, water, and a soap-like surfactant blend. The agricultural application of glyphosate has skyrocketed over the past 20 years. According to the U.S. Geological Survey’s “Estimated Agricultural Use for Glyphosate” map, in 2012 over 250 million pounds of glyphosate were used on crops in across the country—a substantial increase from the less than 22 million pounds used in 1992. The U.S. Environmental Protec-

tion Agency (EPA) has classified the cancer-causing potential of glyphosate as Category E (“evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans”), but the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently re-classified it as a group 2A “probable” carcinogen. IARC’s recent evaluation of glyphosate found “limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for nonHodgkin lymphoma” and “convincing evidence that glyphosate also can cause cancer in laboratory animals.” Monsanto struck back, stating that the IARC’s conclusion “conflicts with the overwhelming consensus by regulatory bodies and science organizations around the world…which have found no evidence of carcinogenicity.” Monsanto added: “Further, the 2A classification does not establish a link between glyphosate and an increase in cancer. ‘Probable’ does not mean that glyphosate causes cancer; even at 100 times the exposure that occurs during normal labeled use glyphosate is not a human health risk.” In September 2015, in response to the IARC findings, the California EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) announced its intent to list glyphosate as a carcinogen under the state’s Proposition 65

law. In California, businesses are required to provide “a clear and reasonable warning” before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a Proposition 65 listed chemical. Once a chemical is listed, businesses have a year to comply with the warning requirements.

programs, from choral groups to band to piano lessons, your child’s school can provide a great foundation for music education. Supplement this at-school learning by encouraging children to practice at home. Private lessons are a great option and often affordable when taught by an older student. Online tutorials can also prove helpful. Your school’s music teacher can be a great resource for these possibilities.

usic enriches lives and offers people of all ages a number of benefits — from improving academic outcomes for children to relieving stress for working adults and even helping seniors keep their minds. Indeed, social harmony is higher within families when young people listen to music, according to a study conducted by Frontiers in Psychology. Now is a great time to foster a love for making and appreciating music. Here are three ways to get your family started:

Look for a family-friendly option, such as Casio’s CGP-700, which features an icon-based menu and a Color Touch Interface that enables musicians to choose tones, select rhythms, split and layer sounds -fun options that will come in handy during sing-a-longs. Its 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard with simulated ebony and ivory keys gives an authentic piano feel that musicians expect in a grand piano in a compact design. Plus,

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Give it a Rest

ein by Rick Epst

“D

ad, can I sleep over at Justine’s?” It was 10 o’clock on a Saturday night and my 13-year-old daughter Wendy had just emerged from a movie theater with a few other girls. “No,” I said, “You slept at Justine’s last night, so you have to sleep in your own bed tonight.” For Wendy, any night is a dead loss that isn’t spent talking about boys until dawn. “Kourtney, Rebecca and Katie – kids you LIKE – are going to be there. It won’t be just a sleepover; it’ll be a PARTY,” she coaxed. “No,” I said, knowing that Wendy gets a once-in-a-lifetime social opportunity about every 45 minutes. Wendy made a face, faded back to share the bad news with her friends, and then came along quietly. Silently, in fact. Once in the front door at home, she said, “Can I borrow your phone and call Brandon?” Her cell phone had been impounded as punishment for something or other. “It’s after 10 o’clock,” I said. “But he has his own cell phone, so it’s not like I’d be bothering his parents,” she said. “No,” I said. “Just give yourself a rest. Calm down and get a fresh start in the morning. I’ll try real hard to like

whatever plan you come up with then.” I really hate saying “no” so often, but it seems like if I give a careless “yes” or two, Wendy will be next seen in New Orleans, boozily throwing necklaces to the crowd from a Mardi Gras float. She argued with me a bit, and then with my wife. Too tired to stay up and monitor Wendy’s activities, I have no idea what she did next. For all I know, she acquired a phone and spent the night blabbing with Brandon. But when I woke up at 7 a.m., I found her sleeping in her bed, which I took as an encouraging sign. Wendy at rest is a rare and painfully beautiful sight, and it made me glad I’d locked Rapunzel in her tower. At 11 a.m., showered, dressed and freshly painted, Wendy climbed into an SUV chauffeured by somebody’s mother and was off to the mall with a girlfriend and two boys – Brandon and maybe his

wondering what life is about. Getting a little bored would be just fine. Being a little lonely? Excellent! Our two older daughters were only a little like Wendy at that age. To find someone who was JUST like her, you must climb a little lower on the family tree. Yes, I was as girl-crazy as Wendy is boy-crazy. But being overweight and slightly geekish, my obsession was of interest only to myself. Unlike Wendy’s, my social invitations didn’t come from other kids. They were decreed by the government. State law thrust hundreds of hapless girls into my proximity every day at school. That red-brick junior-high building fairly throbbed with possibility, and even the most inhospitable algebra class afforded me a daily rendezvous with females of breath-taking beauty. School dances were even better. Nobody had to invite me; I had a legal right to attend. And in the decorated gymnasium, any girl I approached was forced to at least CONTEMPLATE two or three minutes in a one-on-one relationship with Yours Truly. My unattractiveness had a natural braking effect on what would otherwise have been a headlong plunge into womanizing. But our Wendy looks like a piece of candy, especially when she wears lip gloss, and can capture the heart of any runty man-boy she fancies. Our rules are all that keep her from disappearing into the social maelstrom whipped up by her own appeal. My wife is optimistic, but she has no conception of the beast we are fighting nor of the fragility of its cage.

successor. Turnover is high with her. She might return from this trip re-spliced, with Brandon looking back sadly on the happiest week of his life. Maybe he’d like to drop by and commiserate with me; I know what it’s like to be rejected by that little cutie. On my income-tax forms, I always claim to have three daughters. But really I have two daughters and a third child whom I merely sponsor. President Jefferson probably felt this way about Lewis & Clark. Yes, they were his boys, but he hardly ever saw them. They were forever off on a mission of discovery. Well, Wendy is the same way, even down to the journaling and the bagging of unsuspecting creatures. Devoted to her mission, Wendy is only home for as many hours as we require her to be. Hence the rule about no sleepovers on consecutive nights. And when she IS home, she has a phone clamped to her noggin or a keyboard under her fingers, as her Facebook page serves as a pumping station that keeps the gossip flowing. She disconnects only when we compel her to. Hence more rules. I think all kids, no matter how “hot,” should spend time in their rooms, gazing out the window, reading books and Rick can be reached at rickepstein@yahoo.com.
