From the beginning, the American Academy of Pediatrics has been guided by its mission to ensure the health and well-being of all children. This includes promoting nurturing, inclusive environments and actively opposing intolerance, bigotry, bias, and discrimination. Our Equity Agenda. We work for every child's future. The AAP's global mission is to attain optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all children around the world.
Our Global Initiatives. You have the power to change a life. For instance, actor Paul Giamatti, not known for having an especially traditional Hollywood look, can thank his eyewear for kicking him up several notches in the appearance department. Perry, who was already a reasonably good-looking man, could pass for an aging male model in his glasses the kind of guy you see in print ads for geriatric vitamins or retirement investment funds.
At least if he lost that giant Aggie ring. Personally, though, I like to call them Ira Glasses. The glasses frames had a similar trajectory. Formerly available mostly at vintage stores or high-end urban boutiques, by they could be found at any LensCrafters. By sporting Ira Glasses, Perry may also be trying make himself more palatable to moderates and young people. Which is all well and good. Drugstores sell non-prescription glasses for reading; that is, anyone can buy them without seeing their eye doctor for an exam.
Fourteen percent of Americans use these. Some sunglasses are prescription and others are used only to protect the eyes from damage from the sun. Near-sighted people have no trouble seeing things that are close to them, such as newspapers or needlework. The majority of young people who wear glasses are near-sighted. As people age, they are more likely to need vision correction for far-sightedness.
About one-third of people who wear glasses have astigmatism in one or both eyes. Astigmatism is when the shape of the cornea or lens of the eye affects vision. But rather than trying to keep up with the newer trends, Shuron is a throwback, considered Retro-style in many circles.
At any one time there are 15 television shows and movies where the main character is sporting a pair of Shuron eyeglasses. He was noted for wearing it. That three-piece combination with the plastic and metal front, we still sell the heck out of that. Rudy Giuliani is the same way. Unfortunately, the optical consumer does not have the knowledge or expertise he might have if he were buying a car or buying a television or buying a washer and dryer. Everybody knows a little something about this. But when it comes to optics, the sellers are just mean.
They give us a deposit for one frame. Generally, in about three days you will have them back and you send every sample back to us. They love our product. Shuron is now a family business, with Charles Whitehill serving as CEO and his son Chuck holding the title of president.
The company is so successful, it turns away multiple offers to manufacture eyeglass frames from other small companies that want that Made in America label. I mean, I probably get five or six calls a week from people wanting us to manufacture frames for them. They want Made in USA, they want our frame. Right now there must be 30 letters in there.
