Sunglass looks can be deceiving
By MICKI SAMPSON Staff Reporter
This summer, before you slip on your shades and head for Clinton Lake, think twice. You could be setting up your eyes for a good dose of ultraviolet and infrared rays, local Kent Dobbins said recently.
The sunglasses you picked up at the discount store could do more harm than good.
More than likely, you may be covering your eyes with a pair of "glazed goods," or tinted glasses, instead of "optical" glasses that will protect your eyes from the damage summer sun can cause. Dobbins said.
The distortion by poor quality lenses could result in headaches and eye strain, which would go on soon as the glasses were removed.
"Some people get along fine, while others don't," he said.
Deana Svoboda, manager of Visions of Visions of Lawrence, 806 Massachusetts St., said that the difference in glass glasses was in how they were made.
Cheap glasses are made out of pressed plastic that is heated and bent into a curved shape. The bent plastics cause light that is filtering through it to bend, which may cause the viewer to have distorted vision, she said.
Quality sunglasses, however, are "ground curved." To make a ground curved lens, Svoboda said, the glass is ground out of the plastic or glass.
Since the material in these lenses is not bent, light passes straight through, causing no distortion in vision, she said.
Cynthia Yin, instructor at the College of Health Sciences, said, "A quick way to tell if lenses are warped before you buy sunglasses is to hold them up to the light and look at the reflection. If the reflection of an object is light, is wave when you move the glasses around, the lenses are warped.
Tinted glasses shade the eyes, she said, causing the pupil to dilate, which permits more harmful rays to enter.
"If the reflection just curves, the lenses are probably distortion-free." KELI LAWSON, salesperson at Hutton Optical Co., 742 Massachusetts. The potential problems caused by the potential problems could be more serious, sunglasses could be more serious.
"It's almost better to wear no sunglasses at all than to wear a pair of cheap sunglasses," Lawson said. Dobbins said a pair of good sunglasses were well worth the investment

PRESIDENT REAGAN SKIRTS A NATIONAL PROBLEM
While public funds here often are used to help businesses, shopping malls, athletic facilities, and other privately-owned entities gain a profit, many of our young, elderly, and unemployed are denied governmental assistance in their hours of need.
According to syndicated columnist Leonard Silk: "A group of leading economists, assembled by the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonprofit and nonpartisan foreign policy organization, concludes that unemployment, which has taken a back seat to inflation as the leading problem of the industrial countries in recent years, needs greater stress and action if the Western alliance is to avoid being torn apart."
President Reagan momentarily appeared to recognize this problem recently when he said: "Clearly, if the dream of America is to be preserved, we must not waste the genius of one mind, the strength of one body, or the spirit of one soul. We must use every asset we have."
However, he then reverted to form by claiming that "our greatest progress will come by mobilizing the powers of private enterprise."
If the American Dream is to be realized, the powers-that-be first must see both that the private sector has approached full employment only when the nation has been at war and the vital work which a democracy requires is, in this country, in the public sector.
By committing himself to the productive use of each individual and an economic system which is forever rejecting the proffered services of several million of these individuals, the President skirts a national problem which only a true democracy can resolve.
