Is Eagle Vision going blind?

Call an optometrist or perhaps a coroner! The Eagle Vision is going blind and it might be a symptom of something more serious. Only 3,367 Visions were sold in `96's second quarter, compared with a feeble 6,000 purchased in the same period a year ago. Take a look at calendar-year numbers and the sight fades and the pulse weakens even more. For the year, sales have dropped 51.4%, from 15,071 to 7,330.
