A vision assistance apparatus that allows a removable cap on a plastic bottle to glow in the dark once it has been removed from the plastic bottle. The removable cap originally comes attached to the bottle on a binder through a series of attachments broken up by a series of perforations. Once the removable cap is removed, the attachments break, allowing the individual to detach the cap. Once the circular portion of the removable cap is removed, then two different sets of chemicals can be mixed together by having the individual manipulate the circular portion of the removable cap, thereby breaking a seal in between the two volumes of chemicals and causing the two different sets of chemicals to be mixed together. The two chemicals, when mixed together, are chemiluminescent and will produce an amount of light for a certain amount of time.

What I claim as my invention is: 1. A vision assistance apparatus comprising a bottle, means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle, a cap comprising a base, the base having two surfaces comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, and a continuous side surface attached to the lower surface of the base, and means for attaching the cap to the bottle comprising a binder located surrounding the bottle, a plurality of attachments, the attachments connecting the continuous side surface of the cap to the binder, and a plurality of perforations, wherein one perforation is located in between each successive pair of attachments, a plurality of external threads attached to the bottle, a plurality of internal threads located within the cap, wherein the plurality of internal threads located within the cap can be threadably attached to the plurality of external threads attached to the bottle, wherein the means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle further comprises a pair of compartments located within the continuous side surface of the cap, wherein each compartment travels around the entire circumference of the continuous side surface of the cap, said compartments comprising an exterior compartment and an interior compartment, means for separating the two compartments, a volume of a first chemical located within the exterior compartment, and a volume of a second chemical located within the interior compartment. 2. A vision assistance apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the means for separating the two compartments further comprises (a) a seal located in between the exterior compartment and the interior compartment, (b) wherein the seal circumferentially travels around the entire circumference of the continuous side surface of the continuous side surface of the cap within the cap. 3. A vision assistance apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle comprises the steps of (a) grasping the cap and turning it counterclockwise until the cap is detached from the binder, (b) removing the cap from contact with the bottle, (c) squeezing the cap hard enough so that the seal in between the exterior compartment and the interior compartment breaks, allowing the volume of the first chemical and the volume of the second chemical to mix, (d) wherein the first chemical and the second chemical are two components of a chemiluminescent system, (e) further wherein the intermixing of the first chemical and the second chemical will cause the resulting mixture to glow for a period of time, thereby causing the cap to emit a low level glow for a period of time. 4. A vision assistance apparatus comprising: a bottle; means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle; a cap, wherein the cap further comprises (i) a base, the base having two surfaces comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, and (ii) a continuous side surface attached to the lower surface of the base, means for attaching the cap to the bottle, said means comprising (i) a binder located surrounding the bottle, (ii) a plurality of attachments, the attachments connecting the continuous side surface of the cap to the binder, (iii) a plurality of perforations, wherein one perforation is located in between each successive pair of attachments, (iv) a plurality of external threads attached to the bottle, (v) a plurality of internal threads located within the cap, (vi) wherein the plurality of internal threads located within the cap can be threadably attached to the plurality of external threads attached to the bottle, wherein the means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle further comprises a pair of compartments located within the continuous side surface of the cap, wherein each compartment travels around the entire circumference of the continuous side surface of the cap, said compartment comprising an exterior compartment and an interior compartment, means for separating the two compartments, said means further comprising (a) a seal located in between the exterior compartment and the interior compartment, (b) wherein the seal circumferentially travels around the entire circumference of the continuous side surface of the continuous side surface of the cap within the cap, a volume of a first chemical located within the exterior compartment, a volume of a second chemical located within the interior compartment, wherein the means for illuminating the area in the immediate vicinity of the bottle comprises the steps of (i) grasping the cap and turning it counterclockwise until the cap is detached from the binder, (ii) removing the cap from contact with the bottle, (iii) squeezing the cap hard enough so that the seal in between the exterior compartment and the interior compartment breaks, allowing the volume of the first chemical and the volume of the second chemical to mix, (iv) wherein the first chemical and the second chemical are two components of a chemiluminescent system, (v) further wherein the intermixing of the first chemical and the second chemical will cause the resulting mixture to glow for a period of time, thereby causing the cap to emit a low level glow for a period of time.
