Sunglasses—not just for style anymore For many people, sunglasses are a fashion accessory. They’re not wrong about that, but the point about sunglasses is the role they can play in protecting eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. In this video Marshfield Clinic optometrist Brad Christopherson shares more about the benefits of sunglasses. Other things to look for in sunglasses are: • When you shop for sunglasses, make sure they provide 100 percent UV protection • Uniform tint, not darker in one area from another. • Gray tints, especially useful for driving because they offer good color recognition. • Distortion-free lenses. Look through them at a straight line in the distance, such as the edge of a door or floor tile. Cover one eye and slowly move the lens across the line, side by side and then up and down. Make sure the line doesn’t distort, sway or curve. • How much light they block. Try them on in front of a mirror. If you can see your eyes easily, the lenses probably aren’t dark enough. • Polarized lenses which reduce reflected glare. • “Blue-blocking” lenses that help make distant objects more distinct, especially in snow or haze. • Wraparound glasses shaped to keep light from shining around the frames. Although not as stylish as some sunglasses, these protect your eyes from light from all angles. • Polycarbonate lenses, which offer impact resistance, are useful in sports and hazardous work settings. For more information, talk with your optician or Marshfield Clinic Eye Care Services staff. Don't Just Live. Shine.

At 13, LaNita Richardson was paralyzed in a hunting accident when an errant shotgun blast to her abdomen took away her ability to walk. She spent seven months at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, before returning home. From that point forward, she went head on at life’s challenges. She got her driver’s license, finished high school and met the love of her life, Brad Richardson, her husband of 38 years and wingman on her journey to walking. So, as she is known to do – she took on a the ultimate challenge for someone with a spinal cord injury: Walking. First she met with an orthotics specialist who sized her for a special brace that helps move a person’s legs forward, as they shift weight from side to side – with the help of crutches or parallel bars. Then, she was sent to see Mark Wilson, a physical therapist at Marshfield Clinic Eau Claire Physical Therapy. This is when the real work began. Wilson, as well as his colleague Young, is trained in neurological rehabilitation. So, when he meets someone like Toots he gets excited at the opportunity (and challenge) of helping someone improve her quality of life. But he also knows the reality. Anecdotally, about 20 percent of people are successful with this type of therapy and brace, Wilson said. Most people burn out, not willing to endure the 3-4 hours of work needed daily to gain the strength necessary to take a few steps. Those who do succeed often are much younger than Toots – including many veterans wounded in combat. LaNita, though, was among that 20 percent. Don't Just Live. Shine.
