Appreciation of Eye-Care Products
Dear Janice:
Thanks for advising me on the use of Sparkling-Eyes Eye-Care items. After I tried the eye
drops to retain the moisture and shield them from dryness, my eyes are moister and they sparkle!
Thus, I have recommended them to my patients who have eye strain and who are recovering from
eye surgery for cataracts. Thanks, Janice.
Sincerely,
David Lin
P.S. Are you still planning on presenting a paper at the OPTICIAN conference in July next year? I

decline because I am just too busy.
