From Magnifiers to Braille, OcuTrade.com Auctions New and Used Adaptive Products for Vision Impairment

Used products for the visually impaired become available when users upgrade to newer technology, current technology is no longer useful, or the unfortunate passing of the user.

"Coincidentally, that's right about the age range where diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration begin to show up more frequently. The need for adaptive devices and treatment is on the rise, and OcuSource has established itself as the key resource to assist individuals in finding the right solutions to adapt to their loss," states Lipschultz....

Commentary by Net Neutrality and Internet Analyst Scott Cleland Featured on NPR

Today on NPR Morning Edition, Scott Cleland, Chairman of www.NETCompetition.org, reveals the special interests behind proposed net neutrality legislation and discusses how network neutrality is really a choice between a government controlled socialized Internet and a market driven system. To read more on net neutrality and listen to Cleland’s commentary, visit http://precursorblog.com.

Cleland’s net neutrality commentary presents three facts:

1) “Net neutrality is a misnomer. It’s really just special-interest legislation dressed up to sound less self-serving. Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo are lobbying for net neutrality. If they are successful, they’ll get a special low government-set price for bandwidth they use while everyone else — consumers, businesses, and government — will have to pay a competitive price for bandwidth.”...

Soluna MD Offers In-House Patient Financing

A new financing program for patients is being offered by Soluna MD, one of the nation's premiere cosmetic surgery and aesthetic centers. 'The program allows us to offer terms on the procedures we offer so that practically anyone can afford to have the treatments they want and need' explains Linda Alamo, Operations Manager of Soluna MD. 'The program is administered in-house, so our patients don't have to deal with a call center in Bangladesh when it comes to financing their treatments.'

The vast majority of healthcare providers are feeling the strain of the current economic conditions across the country, and medical providers are finding it more and more difficult to afford cash based services or get healthcare plans to cover treatment protocols and clinical procedures.

Dr. Chang, Soluna MD's Cosmetic Surgeon and Medical Director explains that 'since many of the treatments and procedures we offer are elective in nature, or aesthetic, the element of having these items covered by insurance wasn't our main concern anyway. What we sought to provide our patients with is an easy to understand, viable way to help them get what they want in terms of their aesthetics and preventative modalities. The system we have in place allows me to focus on the patient rather than whether or not they have the ability to pay. I like that.'

Soluna MD is one of the country's leading cosmetic surgery centers. Offering everything from Body Sculpting with SmartLipo and Ultrasound, to face rejuvenation, vein treatments and laser procedures, Soluna MD has become a top destination for patients throughout the United States, Caribbean, Mexico as well as Central and South America who are looking to take years off their appearance and become healthier through their preventative programs. To date they have performed over 700 Smartlipo with Ultrasound procedures. Rebecca Masterson, a regular patient of Soluna MD says 'I'd tried every kind of diet imaginable and it wasn't until I went to see Dr. Chang that I was able to get the weight off and keep it off. It's like their signs say 'Dieting Sucks!'... (Continue reading)
