Dear Borg,
Thank you for your comments, for which I am grateful. I apologise for the delayed reply, but I have been away.
I hope to be able to attend to the problems you describe, in a way that Wikipedia finds suitable.
I am a complete beginner at this. I find it very difficult indeed.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Glasseslover

A few suggestion re Article Creation etc
editHello, Glasseslover.
I am short-circuiting the Articles for creation process a little by posting here. I have had a look at your article, and it has some very visually obvious problems. You need to take a look at linking to see how to link properly to other Wikipedia (WP) pages.
Basically though [[WP page name]] is the simplest way. [[WP page name|text you want to display]], is another way when you want different text than the exact page name.
Please do not have text linked directly to the Eye Company website in the text of the page, this is seen as overly promotional. I think the number of links is also excessive, it is not needed or advisable to link every word, term or company that has a WP page. You end up with a 'sea' of blue text.
See also wp:Referencing for beginners.
Even if you fix these aspects up there is still the Notability and Verifiability criteria to meet for this page to be retained on WP. Regards, 220 of Borg 12:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
