Primary types of Glaucoma - Overview and Symptoms of Glaucoma
A lot of people have heard of glaucoma but really don’t know
what it is, how you get it and what some of the symptoms are. Most people think it is an “Old Person”
disease that has something to do with the eyes.
Though it is true that Glaucoma strikes older Americans, it can also
strike children and carries symptoms that are far reaching from your eyes.
To simplify it, Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages your
eyes optic nerve. An optic nerve is located in the back of the eye. It is also known as the cranial nerve. The optical nerve transmits visual
information from the retina to the brain.
There are different symptoms that people get when they get
glaucoma. Symptoms can vary depending on
what type of Glaucoma you have. There
are generally two primary types of Glaucoma:
Open Angle and Angle Closure.
Open Angle sneaks up without a lot of symptoms. For Open Angle glaucoma it is the loss of
side or peripheral vision. Since the
symptoms for this one are harder to recognize it is important to get checked
out every year. Just visit Orange county glaucoma specialist today to get a checkup.
Open Angle Glaucoma is when the eye draining canals become
clogged over a long period of time. As
a result of this clog, a lot of pressure builds up to the optic nerve. It is very similar to when you have a clogged
pipe in your house. Ultimately there is
a lot of pressure that is pushing against the clog, but the drainage doesn’t
happen, causing a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, the symptoms of Angle Closure are very
apparent. Some of the symptoms include
the following, eye and headaches/pain, sight loss, nausea or vomiting, and hazy
or blurred vision. Similar to Open
Angle, Angle Closure is also caused by blocked drainage canals in the eye. If you are experiencing symptoms, you really
need to visit a doctor immediately.
Though keeping an eye out for symptoms is key for Glaucoma,
there are certain ethnic groups that have a higher propensity to get this
disease. Glaucoma occurs five more times more often in African Americans than
other races and strikes earlier. The doctors suggest getting checked for
Glaucoma every year after the age of 35. By getting checked up more regularly you will be able to identify
symptoms earlier.

Insurance Coverage – Liability, Comprehensive and Collision Coverage
Insurance Coverage – Liability, Comprehensive and Collision Coverage
Car Insurance coverage is comprised of many different types like liability, comprehensive and collision. Some of these like liability is typically mandatory while others like collision is optional. What kind of full coverage do you need depends on your particular situation. If you have an older car, it may not make sense to have comprehensive and collision coverages. We have put together information on different types on
insurance coverage so you can make an informed decision for your personal insurance needs.
Liability coverage:
Liability Insurance coverage is typically required by all states in the United States. This will typically cover any bodily damage (physical harm to another person) resulting from a car accident if it is your fault. This will also cover property damages (like automobiles, road signs, houses etc.) if you are found to be the guilty party in an insurance claim.
The liability insurance is typically written as three numbers like 25/50/25. If you carry such a policy, this means that you have maximum coverage in the amount of $25,000 for bodily injury damage per person, maximum coverage of $50,000 for bodily injury damage per accident and amount of $25,000 for property damage per accident. Different states in America set their own limits of liability insurance coverage. You can get that information from this website:
Minimum Liability insurance
What do all these insurance coverage mean? That first number 25 means that the Insurance company will pay for things like medical bills, hospital fees and lost wages in the amount of $25,000 insurance coverage. If there are multiple people injured in an accident, this will limit coverage in the amount of the second number 50 ($50,000) that was mentioned above. The last number 25 is for property damage insurance coverage. The insurance company will pay upto $25,000 insurance coverage for things like other autos involved in the accident, any road signs or property items like fences and household items that were destroyed in the accident. This is again assuming that you were at fault in the accident. If we reverse the scenario and another person is at fault, then their insurance company will be responsible for not only damage to their vehicle but also to your auto, your medical bills and property damages.
Let's say that you live in Nevada and have 15/30/10 liability coverage and you are involved in an accident where you were at fault. In addition, several people get hurt in that accident unfortunately. If an ambulance is called which takes one or more people to the hospital, you will be held liable for payment of any medical expenses. If your insurance limit is only $30,000 per accident, and the total bills happen to be around $50k, you will be responsible for this amount.
$50k - $30k= $20,000!!
As such it is recommended that typically you carry 100/300/100 coverage or at the very least 50/100/50.
Comprehensive and Collision Coverage
Comprehensive and collision on the other hand are necessary to cover damages to your car. When you are involved in a car accident, the insurance company will pay for damages to your vehicle minus any deductible that are specified in your insurance policy.
Collision insurance will help you pay for any damages to your car in the event of an accident, hence a collision! This insurance policy typically carries a deductible, an amount between $250 to an amount of $1000. This deductible portion is typically paid by you (if you are at fault in an accident) and the rest of the damages are covered by the insurance company. Let's say you are involved in an accident and the damage to your SUV is around $4000. If your deductible is $500, this means is that your insurance company will pay you the following for damages.
$4000 - $500 = $3500
Most often they will just cut you a check in that amount and you can take the car to any body shop that you like for repairs.
Comprehensive is for damages that are not due to a traffic accident. It can include things like fire, damage, theft, vandalism, hit and run and natural disasters like tornadoes, hail damage or a big FAT deer in the road! A deductible still applies in this scenario, just like the collision policy. If you have an older car, lets say more than 10 years, it is recommended that you do not carry Comprehensive and Collision.
Auto Medical payments and No-fault option
Auto medical payments will pay for medical expenses incurred by you or the passengers in an accident. It does not matter if you are at fault or not, this option will cover any medical expenses like ER visits, doctors' fees and hospital charges. Some states have No-fault or PIP (Personal Injury Protection) also. Just like the Auto Medical payments, this will pay for medical expenses in addition to lost wages (Earnings you had to forgo due to injury). PIP coverage will also pay for lost wages if the passengers are injured and unable to perform their regular work duties.
Uninsured motorist and Underinsured motorist
Sometimes you may be involved in a hit and run accident or where the person responsible for the accident does not have any coverage. If you are not at fault, having Uninsured motorist will pick up the tab. In a similar fashion, Underinsured motorist kicks in when someone else is at fault, however they do not have enough insurance to cover all the expenses. In this scenario your Underinsured motorist policy will take care of the expenses.

Select the right Plano printing partner Minuteman Press Plano TX
Select the right Plano printing partner Minuteman Press Plano TX
Do you know how to specify printing and get the most bang for your bucks? You will most likely at some point need printed marketing communication pieces. With many options available, consider maximizing your print projects with a superior Plano printing resource. At Minuteman Press Plano, we will deliver top quality print job.
Many factors determine the right type of printing for your job. Basically, Plano printing offers offset printing or digital printing in Plano and Frisco Texas. Offset printing is best for high quality reproduction in a quantity of 500 or more. Offset printing uses ink, which typically yields a much higher quality than digital printing, which uses toner. However, Plano printing digital technology makes digital printing a good choice for great short print runs and quick, economical projects. Select Minuteman Press conveniently located by Frisco and Plano areas as the right type of print partner for your business.
Paper will either enhance or destroy the printed piece. Besides the weight of paper, we will help you choose a coated (gloss) or uncoated (flat) finish. Texture also plays a big part in the overall feel of the piece and guidance from Plano printing makes all the difference.
The number of colors will help determine what kind of printing. In offset, you may choose to print using spot colors such as PMS (Pantone Matching Systems®) or 4-color process (CMYK) depending on the number of colors and/or effects you want to achieve. Spot colors such as PMS will give you a solid ink coverage rather than dots combined to create a color using cyan, magenta, yellow and black. You can see these small dots in 4-color process if you look at a magazine under magnification. The advantage of 4-color process is that you can print as many colors as you like and still only pay for a 4-color print job. Plano printing press comes in even number of colors. The more colors do not necessarily make a piece look better. The message and design of the entire piece is what makes it work.
At Minuteman Press Plano, we provide proofs at the beginning of the print job. With so much efforts spent on creating the piece, we want your print projects in North Texas to turn out right. Before the job prints, Minuteman Press Plano will provide a proof for your review. Our printing expertise at the Plano Office will review your printing project that includes folding, scoring, finishing specification to assist you with the best possible outcome every time.
