			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the most important organ of people’s body, eyes need to be taken good care of. But some people may not pay close attention to the eyes’ health until the eyesight problem is found in serious state. Just like visiting the dentist, we should also need to visit our eye doctor or do some eye tests at a regular time. In this way, eye problems can be found in time and the treatment for the eye problem will be more effectively. So why should we take the eye test regularly?</p>
<p>In the UK, free eye tests are supplied to the people who are qualified for the requirements raised by the National Health Service (NHS).  Even if someone is not entitled for the free eye test, this test is still worth doing as it will have a good impact on people’s eye health and finding out eye problems in time. And in Scotland, eye test is free for all the people supplied by NHS, so everyone should have eye tests regularly, without any excuse.</p>
<p>The following will illustrate several points that people can be entitled for free eye tests if they are qualified for. In England, at the age of 16, children can enjoy this free eye tests. If they are still in full time education, the entitled age can be extended to 18 years old. And for people aged 60 or more than 60, they are elbowed with the right to enjoy this free eye test. That is because for old people, their vision has been deteriorating quickly. Any eye problem found in time will be a great benefit for his later life.</p>
<p>Free eye tests can also be supplied if you are on certain benefits. Not only you, but also your parents can have this right. For people who are suffering diabetes or glaucoma, they are surely qualified for the requirements of free eye test. Even if you are immediately related to someone who has glaucoma- the child, brother or sister, after you get the age of 40, you can have the eye tests for free. In addition, people and their parents can have free eye test if they have and exemption certificate (HC2)</p>
<p>The policy is so considerable that if eye doctor let you have a pair of <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/">glasses</a>, you can also consult in the free eye test to prove if you need it or not. When you need to change for a complex pair of contact lenses, you are entitled for free eye test to test if the contacts are suitable for your eye problem, or if your eye condition is getting deteriorating in order to avoid more damages brought by the new contact lenses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The state House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban texting while driving, prohibit 16- and 17-year-olds from using cell phones or other devices, and force drivers 75 and older to renew their licenses in person every five years and take an eye exam.</p>
<p>The House voted 146-9 to approve the bill.</p>
<p>Rep. Joseph F. Wagner, D-Chicopee, the co-chairman of the Transportation Committee, told House members that the bill sends a message that &#8220;texting while driving will not be tolerated by motor vehicle operators in Massachusetts. It&#8217;s a strong message. It&#8217;s a message that should be sent.&#8221;</p>
<p>The House, mirroring a vote it took two years ago, also voted 91-66 to amend the bill to bar all drivers from holding cell phones while driving. Only hands-free technology would be allowed for all drivers under the amendment.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is impossible to be dialing the phone and watching the road at the same time,&#8221; said Rep. Jay R. Kaufman, D-Lexington, who sponsored the amendment.</p>
<p>That measure is likely to be killed in the Senate.</p>
<p>Wagner said that he doesn&#8217;t expect the ban on holding cell phones to be approved in the Senate, which has been opposed to such a move and blocked it two years ago. Wagner supported the ban on cell phones, saying it would make it easier for police to enforce the ban on texting.</p>
<p>The House bill now moves to the Senate, which is expected to approve its own version. Wagner said he believes a compromise will be approved and then shipped to the governor&#8217;s desk.</p>
<p>Under the bill, the elderly would need to get a vision exam every five years when they show up at a Registry to renew a license. That rule is far less onerous than proposals for regular road tests for certain elderly people.</p>
<p>Right now, all drivers must appear in person every 10 years to renew a license.</p>
