Cleaning your glasses not only helps to keep them in tip-top condition, but it’s also a simple and important step that can remove and prevent unwanted bacteria,... germs and other viruses from growing. Here are a few tips on how to do so: 1. Clean your pair of glasses regularly with mild soap and a soft cloth to help remove dust and dirt. 2. To avoid scratching your lenses, gently wipe across them a few times.

It is said that it takes 21 days to change a habit. Here's some encouragement to those that need reminding.

Today is World Braille Day, and also the birthday of Louis Braille. We honor this Frenchman who developed the braille system so people who are blind can read an...d write independently. What are you doing to spread awareness of braille today? Some ideas are: 1) Read a braille/print book to a child, grandchild or family member. 2) Share an article on your social media about braille. 3) Teach yourself braille basics. 4) Learn more about Louis Braille and his life. #LouisBraille #Braille #Birthday #WorldBrailleDay
