No more air puff!
We are always trying to make sure our patients
do not experience any discomfort during an exam, so we are
using new technology to measure eye pressure. The new instrument
is an ICare Tonometer, it is quick and causes no discomfort
when checking pressures. Our patients are thrilled that they
no longer need to have the air puff!
Ongoing Research
Dr.'s Dubow, Friederichs and Nelson are proud to be involved in clinical research. They have partnered with companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Bausch & Lomb, and Ciba Vision to work in the development of new contact lens materials, contact lens solutions and eye drops. By parterning with these companies, we are able to remain at the forefront in offering the newest products, often before they reach the general public.
Doctor’s Perspective
Keep your vision healthy
Here are a few simple steps you can work in to your life that will improve the health of your eyes.
Eat leafy greens: Broccoli, spinach, and other dark colored vegetables that contain lutein have been found to reduce the risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration in some adults.
Eat carrots: This vegetable is full of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that helps prevent night blindness and other eye problems.
Use vitamins: Take these daily as a preventative step toward healthy eyesight. Vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, copper, and zinc have been proven to slow down the progression of macular degeneration and delay the start of cataracts.
Get your antioxidants: Foods high in antioxidants help minimize the effects of damage done by the environment, such as sun exposure. If you are exposed to the sun for long periods of time, it can lead to cataracts or muscular degeneration. Oranges and blueberries are a great supplement to add to your diet.
Wear sunglasses: With all of the stylish designer frames available at Instyle Eye Wear, there is no excuse for not having a pair! Extensive UV exposure can lead to cataracts. Our doctors suggest wearing polarized lenses that block out the majority of UV rays and wear a hat to block out any reflections.
Load up on Omega-3’s: The Omega-3’s found in some fish help to minimize dry eyes and improve vision. Our doctors suggest using Fish Oil on a daily basis in order to help prevent dry eyes and cataracts. It is available for purchase at Insight Eye Care.
Get your heart rate up: Studies have shown that the benefits of exercise go beyond weight loss. Getting your heart rate up three times a week in 30-minute intervals can reduce the pressure of your eyes, thus reducing your risk of glaucoma.
