JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 5, 2008
To help families better understand the important connection between vision and performance, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., makers of ACUVUE® 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.

The educational digest, along with a free trial-pair certificate (Note: Professional exam and fitting fees not included. Valid only while supplies last) for ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses, is available for free download at www.acuvue.com/bethebestyoucanbe for a limited time.
