La Jolla, Calif., December 1, 2008 — Dr. Gary Heiting, a veteran of clinical optometric practice, the eyewear industry, and online publishing, has been named Associate Editor of All About Vision.

In his new role, he will have responsibility for the content sections on contact lenses, eyeglass lenses, eye safety, eye exams, vision insurance, computer vision, nutrition, and teens and children's vision.
