Patients can successfully wear many types of contact lenses including daily, weekly and monthly wear. Most of the patients who wear contact lenses insert the lenses in the morning and remove them at night, before they go to sleep. Patients who wear the lenses overnight increase the risk of contact lens complications. It is important to know that sleeping in your contact lenses can cause changes to the eye that may reduce acuity or cause irreversible blindness. The cornea, the part of the eye where the contact lens is placed, requires oxygen to function properly. When a contact lens is on the eye, even high oxygen permeable lenses, less oxygen is able to reach the cornea. Over time this can cause the cornea to be less clear and therefore vision will be reduced. More importantly, bacteria can grow in between the contact lens and the cornea which can cause the patient to have a corneal ulcer that must be treated promptly with antibiotic eye drops. Even with treatment a permanent scar may form that affects vision. Knowing the risks and seeking treatment promptly when there is an eye problem is critical to successful contact lens wear. To reduce the risks always insert a clean contact lens with clean hands, never wear a contact lens beyond its recommended schedule and do not sleep with contact lenses.

Host Masonic Center, 2 Ridge Road, High Bridge, NJ 08829 The Masons are the largest fraternity in the history of the world. Freemasonry (or simply, Masonry) is a fraternal order whose basic tenets are brotherly love, relief (philanthropy) and truth. They strive to enjoy the company of brother Masons, assist them in times of personal trouble and reinforce essential moral values. There is an old adage that Masonry "makes good men better", which is their goal. Masonic groups are geographically placed into "Lodges". A Masonic lodge operates like any other fraternal organization would, with regular business meetings, events, etc. Masonry offers men a good and positive environment to interact with men of good character, thereby reinforcing their own moral development. The Masons of Host Lodge #6 F.&A.M. in High Bridge are hosting a Roast Beef and Ham Dinner and they hope you'll attend! Oven cooked roast beef with gravy, sliced ham, potatoes, vegetables, salad and soft drinks and water will be served. $15 per adult, $8 for children 10 and under.Proceeds from the dinner help us fund our scholarship program, the CHIPS Child Identification Program, and other events.
