Kudos from a Visitor:
• A visitor to the Eyedea Shop recently sent the following to CSC after
stopping by the store:
- “Today I took my 84 year old father to your store. He had hopes that

there might be something to help him see better. Unfortunately, he
found nothing. We did, however, find something almost as
rewarding. Regina. She went above and beyond to try and help
him. Her patience was amazing. Her tutorial exceptional. Her legitimate
concern remarkable. As if this wasn't enough, when she welled up in
tears as he explained that he recently lost his wife of 55 years and then
daughter within a month it further confirmed for me what a special
person she is. He left there, because of her, feeling better about not
being able to see. That's invaluable.” Way to go, Regina!
Eyedea Shop’s Featured Product of the Week: Pot Watcher
• The Pot Watcher is a small stainless steel round disc that is placed on
top of a liquid inside a pot. When the liquid boils, it will rattle to alert
you that the item you are waiting for to boil is boiling…thus the name!
Now you don’t have to stand and wait for that pot to boil anymore. The
price is $7.50.
