UV Protection Could Have Given Us More Art From a Master

Claude Monet, the father of impressionism, spent years studying the effects of light and color, then recreating those effects, rather than the objects, in his art. At about age 65, Monet noticed a change in his perception of color. Colors appeared less intense, and he began to replace whites, blues and greens with yellows and purples. These two paintings show the change in detail and palette. At age 72, Monet was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts. Terrified of the results of surgery, he did not consent to an operation on the first eye until ten years later.

National Optician Initiative

In their ongoing work to elevate our profession through education, the Opticians Association of America (OAA) announced the National Optician Initiative, a program aimed at ensuring a high level of uniform competency for opticians throughout the country. The program, announced in the OAA’s March newsletter and at the State Leadership Conference in February, would establish the American Board of Opticianry’s Practical Exam (ABOP) and the National Contact Lens Examiners Practical Examination (NCLEP) as the officially preferred practical examinations for all opticians.
