from seeing up close and looking further
away. What’s more annoying than having to
wear your readers on a chain around your
neck, or getting them stuck in your hair as
you flip them on top of your head?
Also, many people believe wearing readers
can even make you feel older. In fact, an
Alcon survey of people in their 40s and
early 50s found that one-in-four adults think
reading glasses can make someone look 10
years older. And, nearly 50 percent of those
surveyed would avoid wearing readers if they
knew it made them look older.5
Find Freedom
with Contact Lenses
Whether taking selfies, doing your favorite
exercise or whipping up a recipe in the
kitchen, multifocal contact lenses can free
you from putting on and taking off your
reading glasses, and give you the flexibility
to see clearly at any distance.
“I usually recommend multifocal contact
lenses to my patients with presbyopia because
they are designed to help you comfortably
and seamlessly see near, far and everywhere
in between. Most importantly, these contact
lenses give you the freedom to lose your
reading glasses,” explains Resnick.
The takeaway here? When it comes to seeing
clearly up close, don’t be tethered to readers
or let presbyopia make you give up on your
fun and the activities you love. •

MEETING DETAILS:

Date: June 16, 2021
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Place: Virtual Meeting – See instructions to

In the interest of maintaining appropriate social
distancing and to protect the health and safety
of the Planning Commission, staff and the
public from exposure to COVID-19, the public
hearing will not be an in-person meeting and
the Council Chambers will not be used for this
meeting. Members of the public are encouraged
to make comments by submitting written
letters at 4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne,
California 90250 or by sending comments via
email to mmajcherek@cityofhawthorne.org or

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Design
Review Application No. 2021DR04 and
the approval of the General Plan Amendment
and Change of Zone constitutes a project
that is subject to review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), and
the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code
of Regulations Section 15000 et. seq.). In
accordance with CEQA, the Planning Commission
has considered the Addendum to the
2017 IS/MND, and based on the entirety of
the record, the Planning Commission, exercising
its independent judgment and analysis,
determines that the revised Project would not
result in significant modifications or have any
occurrences within the conditions described in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. In addition, the
impact comparison provided in the Addendum
to the 2017 IS/MND demonstrates that no new
potentially significant impacts would occur, and
that no substantial increase in the severity of
impacts would occur upon implementation of
the revised Project. There is no substantial
evidence in the record supporting a fair argument
that approval of the Project will result in
a significant environmental effect, and will not
have an adverse effect, either individually or
cumulatively, on wildlife or the habitat upon
which wildlife depends.
PLEASE NOTE that pursuant to Government
Code Section 65009: In an action
or proceeding to attack, review, set aside,
void, or annul a finding, determination
or decision of the Planning Commission
or City Council, the issues raised shall
be limited to those raised at the public
hearing in this notice or in written correspondence
delivered to the Planning
Commission or City Council at or prior
to the public hearing.
