Comprehensive Eye Health Examination

$140

https://www.facebook.com/20TwentyEyecareMT

We encourage all of our patients to have a routine eye exam once a year – even if you have “20/20” vision. During your exam, the doctor will evaluate three areas that contribute to your vision: refractive status, binocular vision, and ocular health. After a detailed patient history your doctor will perform a careful refraction to determine your unique prescription. Next, we test how well the eyes work together, the focusing ability and eye tracking efficiency. Finally, we will evaluate both the exterior and interior structures of your eye to detect for any eye disease. Using dilation, the doctor can detect non-vision-related health issues and systemic diseases, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. A retinal evaluation for degenerations, retinal holes, and detachments will also be performed.

Bang! Ring in gold

$65

Leeora Catalan, creator of influential and visionary accessories design house nOir, started her career at Ralph Lauren and Oscar De La Renta before making a name for herself as a fashion stylist. A void in the market challenged Catalan to create specific pieces for a fashion show she was styling, and it was these first designs that were ordered onsite by a department store and pulled in by Italian Vogue to shoot. Right then, in 1995, nOir was born in her studio apartment she shared with her business partner, and now husband.

nOir has grabbed the attention of style makers such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Madonna, Fergie, Beyonce, and Gwen Stefani, a testimony to Leeora Catalan's alluring designs.We are thrilled to bring some of that bling home to you!

THE BOY by Lara Santoro. A powerful novel about love, obsession, and a woman's wrenching choice. Visit http://larasantoro.com/

Description

Once a free spirit who refused to be tied down, Anna is a forty-something single mother trying to put her life together after a bitter divorce. She crosses paths with a twenty-year-old neighbor who could not be more wrong for her---and her life suddenly has a new focus. She is drawn to his youth, his easy grace, and his freedom from the constraints that rule her existence. Though she resists temptation in every way she can, Anna is soon engaged in a reckless and obsessive affair. The consequences are life changing.

Provocative, headlong, and utterly compelling, THE BOY is the story of a woman on the edge, torn between love and lust, desire and duty. Lara Santoro writes in fierce, unflinching prose about the dark side of passion, motherhood, and a woman's unthinkable rebellion.
