Welcome to the GEO-EYE SERIES!
This series consists of 45 puzzle caches. We incorporated various difficulty levels. All the caches that form the PUPIL of the eye (P1 to P6) will be the harder ones. The IRIS caches (I01 to I16) will be of intermediate difficulty, and the EYE outline (E01 to E23) will be easy ones.
And then to collect the smilies, we recommend high clearance vehicles. Especially during the rainy season, as the roads can get very muddy. But then again, that is part of all the fun!
Each puzzle will start with an eye fact, followed by the puzzle. There might be clues hidden in the eye fact :-)
EYE FACT
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
Both an optometrist and ophthalmologist can provide a variety of eye care services. Although the most thought of service is prescribing glasses and contacts, both are qualified to diagnose a variety of eye diseases and disorders, such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, and macular degeneration. The presence of certain medical conditions can sometimes first be recognized by your optometrist. During an examination they are able to detect certain diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Other tests can be done, which may also reveal tumors or strokes.
One main difference between an ophthalmologist and optometrist is that an ophthalmologist is trained to perform eye surgery. Whether the surgery be performed in a hospital setting, for instance cataract surgery, or an in office surgery, for instance laser surgery for an after cataract, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy, it is important to remember that only an ophthalmologist is qualified to perform surgery.
**The cache is not at the posted coordinates. To obtain the final coordinates, you need to solve the puzzle**
A list of eye related terms are provided. Your task is to search for these words in the grid. The words can be written in any direction. After you have found all the given words, use the remaining letters to obtain the coordinates. Good luck and enjoy!
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
