JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
VISTAKON®, Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., today announced the launch of Healthy Vision(TM) with Dr. Val Jones, a new radio program devoted to educating and improving the eye health of Americans.
"Americans spend surprisingly little time thinking about their eyes, even though they're critical to their quality of life," says program host Val Jones, M.D., CEO of Better Health, LLC, a network of popular health bloggers, and author of, "Dr. Val and the Voice of Reason," which won The Best New Medical Blog award in 2007. "Research shows that many people share the misguided belief that seeing well translates to good eye health. As a result, they often don't see an eye care professional regularly, or take the necessary steps to protect their eyes from things like UV (ultraviolet) damage. Eye care professionals are a critical part of a primary care medical team.
