Eggcellent Eyesight
The Easter bunny does not have perfect vision despite the childhood tales that we have been told. Bunnies are farsighted creatures and have difficulty seeing things immediately in front of them because their eyes are on the side of their heads.
SO, WHY DID THIS RUMOR START? [Read more…] about Eggcellent Eyesight
Alcon Vivity Lens
The new Alcon Vivity lens allows a greater range of vision than the traditional standard lens. This new technology is an exciting ophthalmic advancement and may be viable for some patients who were previously not candidates for a multifocal like Panoptix or Symfony. Schedule an appointment with one of our ophthalmologists to see if you qualify for the Alcon Vivity Lens to help reduce dependence on glasses.
Save Your Vision
Keeping your body and eyes healthy can help save your vision as you age. Vision gradually decreases as we grow older, and conditions such as presbyopia may arise. The hardening of the lens causes presbyopia as a part of the natural aging process. The lens becomes less flexible, making it difficult to focus on things near and far. If you want to keep your eyes and vision healthy, here are some tips to follow. [Read more…] about Save Your Vision
Glaucoma Treatment
The most effective glaucoma treatment is working with your ophthalmologist to manage your glaucoma. There are currently medications (usually eye drops), laser treatments, and surgeries available depending on the type of glaucoma and the severity. The goal is to reduce the pressure in the eye to decrease the damage to the optic nerve. [Read more…] about Glaucoma Treatment
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month
AMD affects approximately 11 million Americans and is the chief cause of vision loss and blindness for senior adults. AMD affects the central vision making reading, driving, and watching television more and more difficult. One of the first changes you may notice is blurring of your vision. Early detection is critical to saving your vision. Diminishing sight is not a normal part of aging. It is important to get regular eye exams and contact us if you notice any changes in your vision. Learn the facts.

Open-Angle Glaucoma Symptoms
The most common type of Glaucoma is Open-Angle Glaucoma. This type of glaucoma often has no warning signs or symptoms, and if not detected early, can permanently damage your sight. By the time most people have symptoms, there have already been irreversible damage to the eye. This is yet another reason to visit your ophthalmologist annually, so it can be diagnosed early. Intervention and treatment are key in maintaining your vision. Other types of Glaucoma do have symptoms such as severe pain, which should be treated as an emergency. Contact Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey if you notice any new symptoms or if it is time for your comprehensive eye exam.
