Hello, this is Debbie from Alphaubzz. We are an independent market research company looking for respondents to participate in an online session about corrective eyewear.

I am looking for pairs of MOMS and KIDS (age 10-15). Your child MUST wear glasses, but it does not matter if the mom needs eyewear or not. Both you and your child will need to participate, and each mom and child will get their own video camera to keep and they each receive the $200.

DETAILS: This is a unique study with 2 parts. The first part involves you and your child answering questions online about your experience with glasses. The session will take place online beginning the week of April 6 at your convenience, it will take approximately 3 hours over several days and the study will conclude the week of April 20. You will respond to questions online and film a video of yourself answering those questions with the camera we send each of you.

The second part requires you to make an appointment FOR YOUR CHILD with any eye care professional for a contact lens prescription exam during the week of April 13. We will ask you take notes during your visit or Twitter as it happens as we are interested in your experience at the office. There will be additional follow up questions, the whole study including the exam and online session will take 6 hours total.

YOU MUST HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE.

If you are chosen, we will send you a digital video camera and upon completion of the study, you will be able to keep the camera and we will also send you a check for $200.

Your participation is completely anonymous and your information confidential. These studies are strictly for market research and no sales attempt will ever be made as a result of your participation.

If you are interested in participating, please take a moment to copy and paste this link into your browser to fill out a brief prescreening questionnaire .

You will be contacted if you qualify, so you do not need to respond to this email. Thank you for your time.

So the parent pays for the eye exam?? It will cost around 100.00 for a contact exam. My son just turned 16 and got contacts last summer. I don't think I can apply.

Um.... maybe that's why they give you $200?

I have very good eye coverage so therefore wouldn't pay a dime.

When you got the call did she mention to you that it would start this week. Cause I'm still waiting for the cameras and the email. I'm starting to wonder if they will send anything at all. I made the appointment for my daughter to have her eyes examined again and still nothing.
