Transitions Optical Kicks-Off 2012 Multi-City "Sightseeing City Tour" with Voting Contest for "Top 10 Sights to See" in Miami

WHAT: 

Gearing up for its 2012 multi-city tour, the first stop of which is in Miami, Fla., Transitions Optical, in conjunction with the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce, along with input from "The Gutsy Traveler" and national travel expert Marybeth Bond, has listed the "Top 25 Sights to See" in Miami on www.seemoresights.com – and is asking travel enthusiasts – tourists and Miami locals alike – to vote on which of those attractions and things to do they think make up the Top 10 Sights to See in Miami. By voting, you will be entered to win an exciting trip for two to Chicago.  

The final Top 10 Sights to See will be revealed at the Miami event – and videos featuring Marybeth Bond, the "Official Sightseer," sharing additional "insider" information about each of the Sights will be available online following the event.

WHY: 

As the Official Sponsor of Sightseeing, Transitions Optical is planning its Sightseeing City Tour this year with stops in Miami, Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, and New Orleans. Leading up to the Miami stop, which is taking place on April 14 – 15 as part of the Great Taste of the Grove Food and Wine Festival, Transitions Optical is asking for tourists and Miami locals to vote on the Top 10 Sights to See which will be revealed prior to the event. In addition to voting for the Top 10 Sights to See, while on-site at the Great Taste of the Grove, Transitions Optical will be inviting attendees to have their photos taken at a kiosk against the scenic background of their choice and distributing materials which include more information about each of the Top 10 Sights to See, healthy vision tips and coupon offers redeemable at select local Sears Optical locations; as part of the experience, Sears Optical will also be conducting complimentary vision screenings.

Transitions Optical is committed to raising awareness about the importance of healthy sight – whether traveling to exotic places or spending time in your own backyard, these everyday moments are sightseeing opportunities. Taking care of your eyes by getting regular, comprehensive eye exams and wearing proper eyewear that enhances your vision in the short-term and protects the health of your eyes in the long-term can allow you to see your best to enjoy the everyday "sightseeing" moments in your life.
