&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;                                            A BlogHer Special Advertising Section&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a recent stormy, August night in Manhattan, BlogHer&#039;s gathered with the folks from LensCrafters to enjoy some good company, learn some things they didn&#039;t know about eye health, try on new frames with the help of stylists and basically have a pretty good time doing it. They&#039;ve captured the event in their blogs and we think you&#039;ll be surprised by what they each took away from the experience. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debi was&lt;a href=&quot;http://loveisnewadditionstothefamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/open-your-eyes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; amazed by what she learned&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Did you know that &lt;b&gt;10 MILLION children&lt;/b&gt; in this country need glasses but aren&#039;t wearing them!?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;I had no idea. I was actually quite stunned.”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Tuesday &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.parentingourchildren.com/have-you-had-your-eye-exam-yet/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;had a blast picking out new frames&lt;/a&gt; with the assistance of the LensCrafters consultants: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;“The consultants were amazing to work with, they took one look at you and were off finding the perfect frames. With the thousands of&lt;br /&gt;
frames that Lenscrafters has, that is no easy task.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victoria &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/three-cheers/eyes-wide-open/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;appreciated the timing of the event&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt; &lt;span&gt;“Our rockstar pediatrician dropped the bombshell at her all important 5 year check up that Miss Natalie succeeded at failing her vision test; he also recommended a follow up exam elsewhere. Lovely.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Minutes later I saw a Blogher ad announcing their event with LensCrafters...”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty Lady was &lt;a href=&quot;http://plwellness.blogspot.com/2008/08/vision-on-fifth-avenue.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;impressed with the presentation&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;Pretty Lady is pleased to inform you that Lenscrafters has formulated a Serious Educational Agenda, which, unlike a great many commercial endeavors, actually managed to educate her.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ChefDruck found a &lt;a href=&quot;http://chefdruckreviews.blogspot.com/2008/08/lenscrafters-educates-mom-bloggers.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;new appreciation for the importance of eye exams:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;“Your eyes are valuable, being blind would be terrifying, so why avoid eye exams? They had my attention.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kimberly found out that &lt;a href=&quot;http://gavmenagerietwo.blogspot.com/2008/08/look-into-my-eyes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;eye exams are incredibly important for your overall health&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;“But what I didn’t know is that your eyes aren’t only the windows&lt;br /&gt;
to your soul, they can also be the best windows to your health.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From enjoying gourmet treats to the personal attention from all of the LensCrafters staff at the event, our bloggers had a wonderful time learning about eye health and fashion. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  &lt;img src=&quot;/files/Bulgari-frames.gif&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; height=&quot;63&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
