Every moment

you've spent in the sun has left a permanent mark. The UV Scanner gives

you visible proof that the sun is affecting your skin, and what the future

holds if you continue to expose your unprotected skin to the damaging

rays of the sun.

UV eye damage

Inside your

eyes is a pigment called melanin. It's the same pigment that gives your

skin and hair its color. Melanin provides powerful protection to the lens

of the eye against UV light damage.

Normal aging

and overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays decrease melanin production,

which in turn increases the risk of both cataract formation and macular

degeneration. With this screening the amount of UV damage your eyes have

suffered can be assessed and you can easily see if cataracts are being

formed on the lens of your eyes.

These three

important screenings are available Nov. 30 for one price of $5. Fayette

Chiropractic Center is at Ga. Highway 85 north and New Hope Road. Call

770-461-2225 for more information.
