(ContentDesk) August 6, 2005 -- StikCap?, a unique product that helps eliminate dust from camera lenses and camera bodies, is launched today by IMS. A disc of specially formulated sticky micro-weave fabric, StikCap? is designed to fit inside front and rear lens caps to extract any dust as they are moved about. StikCap? is also designed to be used inside body caps to extract dust from the chamber and sensor areas of both traditional film and digital SLR cameras.StikCap? lasts for approximately three months and is easy to remove and replace."This is our latest product in our war on dust," said IMS managing director Andrew Stagg. "We have developed a number of successful applications for removing dust after it has got into cameras and lenses, but StikCap? provides the first line of defense in helping to stop dust become a problem in the first place."Cameras get shaken around when you carry them on foot, in the car or anywhere. But, by placing a StikCap? in lens and body caps, the dust is shaken onto the disc where it stays ? permanently."StikCap? is available world-wide from the IMS website http://www.intemos.com at a cost of ?6.95 in the UK, $12.95 in the US and ?12.95 in Europe for a set of five.
This will give dust protection for two lenses and one body cap. A larger pack (of ten) is available for ?12.95/$23.95/?23.95, which will protect five lenses or two bodies and four lenses.Contact:Andrew Stagg44 117 905 5375e-mail protected from spam bots.
Astygmatism And Contact Lenses
A debate continues as to whether astygmatism and contact lenses are compatible bed fellows. For many years, it was unclear as to whether contact lenses of any sort could assist an astigmatism sufferer.
Astigmatism is a misshaping of the the cornea. A normal cornea is round, but in an astigmatism sufferer, the shape is more like an American football, or rugby ball. An astigmatic eye sees light focusing on two points in the back of your eye, rather than on just one in a normal eye. This is because an astigmatic cornea has a steeper and flatter curve due to the shape of the cornea.
This is called corneal astigmatism.
Sometimes, astigmatism is the result of an irregularly shaped lens, which is located behind the cornea. This is called lenticular astigmatism.
Either kind of astigmatism can usually be corrected with spectacles or contact lenses. In some case, refractive surgery can also help astigmatism sufferers.

Aviator Sunglasses
Aviator sunglasses are characterized by their oval shaped lenses that narrow towards the bridge of the nose. Aviators are one of the oldest designs of sunglasses and still the most commonly preferred all over the world. When it comes to sunglasses, aviators are considered classics.
Aviator sunglasses were designed in 1936 for military use. The seemingly humble pair of aviator sunglasses was, in fact, useful gear for the armies in the Second World War.
Since then, they have evolved greatly and contemporary aviator sunglasses are trendier and sleeker, with additional features like photo-chromatic lenses and gradient lenses.
Aviators are androgynous, meaning that both men and women can wear them. They are usually preferred in black and brown tinged lenses, but green, blue, gray, and violet lenses are also quite popular. They also come in a variety of frames, with gold plated frames being the most favored. The frame of these glasses is very lightweight...

Wearing Contact Lenses
If you've never worn contact lenses, you may not appreciate the amazing selection available on today's market. Be glad: you have much more choice than in the past. With so many options, how do you choose the right type of contact lenses?
Your doctor can probably help you figure out which contact lenses are best for you. Some contact lenses are suited to certain vision problems, like astigmatism. Others, like extended-wear contact lenses, are marketed to suit certain lifestyles.
Colored contact lenses sometimes are used by people who don't even need prescription lenses but just want to change their eye color. Regardless, contact lenses should only be purchased by a professional eyecare practitioner, who knows how to properly fit the lenses and help you take care of your eyes. In fact, in the United States, it is illegal to purchase contact lenses without a valid prescription.
It's good to be informed about the different types of contact lenses before...
