I am grateful that I have healthy eyes and great vision. However, I am worried about my eyes because I spent many of my times in front of my computer. I am afraid I would have eye or vision problems in the future.

My husband wears eyeglasses and he is always irritated. Almost all of my cousins are wearing eyeglasses and lenses. As a matter of fact, they have considered iLasik for laser vision correction. Now their visions have already been improved.

I am planning to call my cousin Jeremy and tell about this iLASIK Video Contest. She could join this contest since she was iLasik patient before. The “You Gotta See This” Video Contest invites anyone to make video showing how life is more valuable with great vision. Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (AMO), a global leader in laser vision correction, sponsors the contest. The Grand Prize winner will win $5,000. Three winners will be selected and will win HDTV package worth of $2,500 value (one per video category) for the first prize. Three winners will also be selected and will win the Flip UltraHD camcorder worth of $199.99 value (one per video category) for the second prize. Videos must be submitted on September 10, 2009 to December 10, 2009 and all participants must at least 21 years of age and legal resident of United States or District of Columbia.

Japanese Akoya Pearls Sold To Factories

Japanese Akoya pearls are sold only to factories, not to retailers. Farms in Japan sell pearls only to factories, unlike pearl farms in China. These pearls are polished, bleached, matched and drilled. Factories will buy pearls from numerous sources to create finished hanks of pearls. The factories are able to make a handsome profit with a mix of 80% Chinese and 20% Japanese.

Akoya’s Are Not All Japanese Akoya Pearls

When I saw the name Akoya pearl, I thought it was made in Japan. Now, I know that Akoya’s are not all Japanese Akoya Pearl. In fact they are actually Chinese cultured pearls. Then, consumers should not believed or trust pearl sellers claiming that they are selling 100% Japanese Akoya pearls.

Pearls from China

I bought my Akoya pearls from China. We all know that China has a strong supplies of Chinese Akoya pearls. Factories in Japan are now increasingly turning to China as their main pearl source because of the high price of Japanese materials and the low price of Chinese materials. The pearls are imported from China into Japan, processed, and placed on temporary strands, which are then tagged "Made in Japan".

Japanese Akoya Pearls

Japanese Akoya Pearls is often used as a misnomer to describe cultured akoya pearls. However, this is no longer an industry accepted term as akoya pearls are now grown in China, South Korea, Vietnam and Australia.

Recently I am fascinated of collecting pearl jewelries. As a matter of fact I have bought a new Akoya pearl necklace and an earring. This Christmas holiday I wished I could receive a Japanese Akoya Pearl ring.
