Lyn Savage is an Optician.
Lyn Savage lives in the cosy market town of Ulverston, Cumbria.
She has a passion for working with children, and helping them to maintain healthy eyes.
Lyn keeps right up to date with latest findings in the optometry world.
She recently visited several primary schools throughout Cumbria. She spent time with the children to test their eyesight, talk to them about their vision, and help them with their reading.
Help them with their reading?
You see, Lyn Savage recently read a new book with new findings that relate reading difficulties to impaired eyesight.
With the latest findings in the book, Vision and Reading Difficulties, parents are now being encouraged to take their child to an optician if they are struggling to read.
Many parents simply think their child will grow out of it, pick it up eventually, or must have something wrong with them.
A good check up with a professional, like Lyn Savage, and some worthy advice later, and your child may well be able to start reading.
Please visit her website, and get in touch with Lyn Savage with any concerns you may have about your child’s reading difficulties.

New Findings for Children with Reading Difficulties
A growing number of parents and teaching professionals are turning to eye practitioners when their children have difficulty reading.
Visual problems associated with reading difficulties are discussed in a new book which has been developed by three of the country’s leading eye experts.
Vision and Reading Difficulties has been written primarily for eye care professionals, to help them stay up to date with the new developments.
The book not only addresses the problems, but also comes up with a clinical protocol that can be used to identify and treat these conditions.
The findings have been of particular significance to Ulverston Optometrist Lyn Savage. Lyn Savage Opticians celebrated its 25th Anniversary last year, and Mrs Savage continues to develop her knowledge of the industry.
Mrs Savage, based on Market Street, prides on providing first-class vision care for the entire family. Mrs Savage is now keen to meet children with reading difficulties, to see if there is a visual problem that she can diagnose and treat.
She has recently visited Pennybridge, Leven Valley and Broughton Primary schools to talk with children about their eyesight.
The new findings focus on those people who have vision concerns with reading, though do not have eye diseases or low vision, the visual problems that are most often associated with reading difficulties.
Vision and Reading Difficulties points out early on: “There has been increasing evidence in recent years of visual factors contributing to reading difficulties…”
With a strong interest in these visual factors, Bruce Evans, Director of Research at the Institute of Optometry, said: “We felt there was a need for a book for eye care professionals that would give them the background on which visual problems may be contributing to reading difficulties, how they can detect those problems and what they can do about them when they find them.”
A discussion with Mr Evans and the authors is available to view on the Association of Optometrists website. Vision and Reading Difficulties is also available from the OT Bookshop.
Lyn Savage will be happy to speak to anyone who would like further information on the subject.

Tweet Up with 140 Characters in Ulverston
Twitter enthusiasts are encouraged come out in force to make Ulverston’s latest Tweet Up the biggest in the UK.
The Tweet Up, aptly titled ‘140 Characters’, will take place at The Mill, Ulverston, on Tuesday 23 March.
Tweet Ups are fun Meet Ups for people who love to use Twitter and other forms of social media. The idea is to meet your online friends and have a good time finding out more about each other.
The last event was held at The Mill in February. It was attended by Barrow’s Labour candidate John Woodcock, CancerCare and LakesTV, amongst numerous other Twitter fanatics.
Kay Hebbourn, organiser of the event, has been amazed by the level of interest. She said: “Following the success of the last Tweet Up, which was the biggest in Cumbria, we have decided to have another and would love anyone who loves social media to come.
It's an excuse for a bit of a social, and to find out what everyone else is up to.”
There will be a variety of prizes up for grabs, and also charity donation opportunities.
Award-winning photographer Lesley Wood will be donating a particularly special prize to one lucky Twitterer. She explains: “I will give the winner a free photo-shoot. It will be for half a day, at your home or an outdoor location of your choice.”
Lesley is currently the “UK Pet Photographer of the Year” and specialises in portraiture of people with or without their animals. She is currently based in Cheshire, but is due to relocate to Ulverston this year.
The Evening Mail will be there to cover the event, which has already attracted interest from all over the UK.
Music and nibbles will be provided by The Mill, who will also be donating a special prize to a winner drawn from a hat.
Plans are still in the pipeline to introduce a Twestival to the area, later on in the year. This will be a whole weekend of events, meet-ups and fundraising.
Everyone is welcome to join in the fun – even those who haven’t yet become captivated by Twitter. The event is due to start at 5pm on Tuesday 23 March.

How to save REDICULOUS money on your next holiday! ... (And the next one, and the next one, and the one after that, and…you get the picture)
It’s actually cheaper for me to go on a week-long holiday to the Grand Canyon than it is to go to Sheffield for the weekend.
Therefore…
Hello Arizona!
I have recently discovered Primo Vacations. They are undoubtedly ‘the next big thing’ in the travel industry. They are still very much in their early days, so get in on this exclusive offer while it’s still hot!
“What are you talking about?!” I hear you cry!
Well, with Primo, you receive up to 80%...yes…EIGHTY PERCENT discount on Your holidays for the rest of your life.
For example – For a measly £50, You can treat yourself to an extravagant holiday in the Arizonian resort of Sedona Pines. Sedona is on the boundary of the Grand Canyon – one of natures most beautiful sites, and repeatedly named as one of life’s ‘must-see-before-you-die’ adventures.
Spain, Italy, France, Australia, USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, England, Canada, and many many many more countries, towns, cities and resorts are included when you join Primo Vacations’ Travel Club.
Why would I join Primo?!
As a typically pensive student, I developed a huge yearning for travel. I would love to see as much of the world as possible. BUT money was always going to stand in my way.
BUT with Primo Vacations, for a paltry one-off payment, I now have the freedom to explore and discover the world in my own time and at my own pace.
I’ve been banging on for years about how I want to go abroad.
There really are no excuses now.
Too good to be true?
Exactly what I thought at first. But when you think about it, it’s really quiet commonsensical how it all works:
The recession has hit the travel industry hard. People have not been able to afford the holidays they are used to.
Staycations became all the rage in 2009, remember?
So, rather than sitting back and watching their businesses go bust; hotel/cruise/condo owners all over the world have been approached by Primo Vacations to sell a large selection of their rooms and apartments at a huge discount.
People are guaranteed to go on holiday if they are getting 80% off. So, making a profit is better than nothing at all. And of course, they expect to make their money through drinks, tips and a high referral rate.
I’m genuinely considering a Caribbean Cruise for later on this Spring – all inclusive for 14 nights.
Did you honestly think I’d be doing this this time last year?!
Oh, I said I wanted to explore and discover the world – you were probably thinking of Indiana Jones-esq backpacking and swashbuckling adventures – instead; I’m lavishing it up on a Cruise.
Well, there’s always the summer!
It really is as good as it sounds.
Intrigued?
Get in touch with me!

Come Along and Tweet with 140 Characters
Following on from the success of Ulverston’s first Tweet Up in February, social networking enthusiasts from the area are being encouraged to come out in force to make the next event the biggest in the country.
The next Tweet Up, aptly named ‘140 Characters’, will take place at The Mill, Ulverston, on 23 March. The aim is to get 140 people, making it the most attended Tweet Up produced in the UK.

Once again, there will be prizes on offer and fundraising opportunities.
Kay Hebbourn, organiser of the first Tweet Up, has been amazed by the level of interest already for the next event. She said: “The last Tweet Up was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was great to see such a range of people and businesses.
The atmosphere was great, and we were well looked after by everyone at The Mill.”
The organizers are open to all ideas for 140 Characters and any future Tweet Ups. Possible avenues being explored are the possibility of stands, a projector screen and even a live video stream for the Evening Mail website.
Plans are still in the pipeline to introduce a Twestival to the area, later on in the year. This will be a whole weekend of events, meet-ups and fundraising.
Anyone who wishes to attend 140 Characters is more than welcome. The event is subject to start at approximately 5pm on 23 March at The Mill, Ulverston. Non-Twitter users are also welcome to join in the fun.
