Eye Protection
We often take our eyes for granted, not protecting them enough in everyday situations. Sometimes just being aware of what could go wrong is enough to force you in to action.

Diabetes and Diet
Diabetes and Diet Diet plays a major role in the development of Diabetes. Eating habits are often entrached in us from an early age, so even when we are grown, and know better, it becomes very difficult to make life saving changes.

Treatment for floaters
Treatment Most eye floaters don’t need to be treated. While learning to cope with them costs some time and frustration, many people are able to ignore them more easily over time.

Children’s development
“A child is taught nothing- he learns everything- and vision is the supreme mechanism a child possesses for the interpretation of his world. All other mechanisms are important for a total child, but they are all subservient to vision”-Getman. This month I’d like to revisit children’s vision. As adults, we often take vision for granted, […]
Laser Surgery
CONSIDERING LASER SURGERY A lot of people who wear very thick specs often ask about lasik. It is a good option for people who are very myopic (nearsighted) however, as with any procedure, there are no guarantees. To be a good candidate for lasik, your prescription should be stable (not getting worse), your cornea should […]
