Save Your VisionThere’s more to March than

shamrocks and basketballtournaments. It’s also Save YourVision Month. Sponsored by theAmerican Optometric Association,this annual campaign reminds usof the importance of eye healthand regular eye exams.

It’s said that the eyes are thewindows to the soul, but they canalso be the windows to potentialhealth problems. That’s why it isimportant to schedule a yearlyexam. Regular visits to an eyedoctor will not only ensure yourprescriptions for eyeglasses arecurrent, but also check for signs ofconditions like cataracts andglaucoma. The early warning signsof other health concerns, such asdiabetes or high blood pressureand high cholesterol, can also bedetected by an eye exam.

In addition to regular visitswith an eye care professional,protect your vision by eating ahealthy diet that includes plentyof fruits and vegetables, usingappropriate lighting for readingand tasks, and protecting youreyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.

St. Patrick’s Day HistorySt. Patrick’s Day, celebrated

each March 17, marks the date thepatron saint and national apostleof Ireland died, after 40 years ofmissionary work, in 461 A.D.Legend and myth surround St.Patrick, who was said to havefreed Ireland of snakes. His use ofIreland’s sacred three-leafshamrock to symbolize the holytrinity is a well-known story.

Patricius Magonus Sucatus wasborn around 390 A.D. to Romancitizens in Britain. Toiling as ashepherd, Patrick found comfortin religion. After six years, Patrickescaped, journeying homehundreds of miles over land andsea. Now devout, he studied forthe priesthood, was ordained abishop and returned to Ireland tospread Christianity.

In the fifth century, Patrickbuilt churches, ordained priestsand converted thousands of Irishpeople. The wandering bishophad a knack for combiningChristianity and Irish culture,easing the transition for converts.A tireless missionary, Patrick washonored as a saint not long afterhis death.
