While contact lenses provide many vision benefits, they are not risk-free. One important tip to remember is that a contact lens is a medical device that requires a prescription. Different contact lenses often are made from different materials and in different sizes, some of which can be comfortable and healthy for you to wear, while others can lead to discomfort and even eye health problems.

Vision impairment and blindness are among the top five causes of disability in older adults. If you’re not convinced you should have regular eye exams, consider that some of the more serious age-related eye diseases—like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye disease—may have no warning signs or symptoms in their early stages. On the bright side, it’s nice to know that healthy living not only adds years to your life, but also protects your vision as you get older. https://bit.ly/2DGkwmH

Avoid over-wearing your contact lenses and be sure to discard and replace them as directed. Even if you care for your lenses as directed, lens deposits continue to build up on your contacts over time. The longer you go before replacing your lenses, the greater potential these lens deposits have to reduce the oxygen supply to your corneas and damage your eyes.

More than 10 million Americans currently suffer from some form of macular degeneration, making it the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the country. Unfortunately, it’s also considered incurable at this point, which makes early detection even more important.

Time may be running out to use your FSA or HSA dollars if you have a "use it or lose it" rule. We are typically very busy in the last few days of the year. Beat the rush, and come in and see us early.
I recently sat down over a cup of coffee with Marc Siegel, M.D. and we discussed his new book “COVID: The Politics of Fear and the Power of Science”.
He told me, “It is possible for a massive pandemic and the fear and hysteria over that pandemic to exist simultaneously.” He went on to explain, “Unfortunately, effective public health measures are compromised by both hysteria and denial. When we are afraid, fear hijacks our brain and we don’t think rationally. The purpose of this book is to help us overcome our worries as well as vanquish the virus.” His book shows us how to look behind the hype and hysteria, inoculate ourselves against crippling fear tactics, and develop the emotional and intellectual skills needed to take back our lives even as we battle the pandemic itself.

You may have heard that diabetes causes eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. Your retina can be badly damaged before you notice any change in vision. For this reason, you should have your eyes examined regularly by an eye care professional.

We'd like to wish you and your family a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃

An Avocado-a-Day Helps Keep the Doctor Away?
A study from Tuft’s University found that eating an avocado daily could offer protection against Macular Degeneration and improve cognitive function. Now, new findings from Penn State researchers suggest that an avocado a day may help keep “bad” cholesterol levels down, at least in those overweight and obese.
Are you over the age of 50? Do you have problems seeing at night? If so, you should get tested for AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration). Call us at 910-256-6364 to schedule an AdaptDx test.
