...because I don't. I care in general, quite a bit, actually. I take my job seriously. I like to take the time and impart the "wisdom" I've gained in school and experience. When it comes to eye vitamins, however, it's time to roll the eyes.
Old people are the worst offenders when it comes to eye vitamins. The eye vitamins, you see, are just a bunch of crap +/- lutein. Lutein has been linked or surmised to help prevent/slow/improve/delay/lessen the progression of macular degeneration. Now I'm not saying these folks should just press on blindly. They have every right to better their vision. I just can't stand the old lady whom meanders up to the counter with armfuls of different vitamins and makes me pick the one that will help with her dry eyes.
Well, I said: I pick none of these; try the artificial tears/Systane. That went over about as well as inviting a Nazi to passover. She then went on to ask EVERY pharmacy employee which vitamin she should get - sometimes twice. Look, I don't have any vindictive agendas here, but just pick one, lady. If you read the side of the box you'll see they all have about the same shit. I'm not sure what she ended up buying.
In this section I'd like to say I care, but I have a sneaking suspicion she's still milling about the eye care section. For this old lady is always looming my friends, confused and bewildered by the Ocutives. If she doesn't buy them, I'd bet she'll play a mean pinball.
