“My husband was referred to your office for further testing when he went to get new glasses. Dr. Grey said he had a cataract in his right eye and another one just starting in his left eye. The right cataract was removed a few years ago and with absolutely no issues or problems. Great job. Every time we go back we feel very comfortable and at ease with the staff. All of you are so kind. I, myself, have been having some eye troubles lately and plan to visit your office soon regarding my issues. Thank you.”

Metro Detroit Looks at the Possibility of yet Another Damaging Storm this Afternoon.

Ophthalmologists are sometimes the first to diagnose both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes as some diabetic patients first sign of the disease is a sudden vision change.

Dr. Les Grosinger, Eye Michigan ophthalmologist is pleased to donate to help this very important cause. Insulin can help manage and regulate diabetes but it is not a cure.

• Diabetics are 40% more likely to suffer from glaucoma; an increase in fluid pressure inside the eye that may lead to the loss of vision.
• Diabetics are 60% more likely to develop cataracts; clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision.
• The longer you have diabetes, the more likely you are to have retinopathy; changing of the blood vessels in the retina which can cause vision loss that in many cases cannot be reversed.

Your retina can be damaged before you notice any change in vision. Many people with retinopathy have no symptoms until it is too late to treat. For this reason, it is vital to be examined regularly by an eye care professional.  Contact Eye Michigan for an appointment.

The statistics are astounding. According to the Vision Council of America, 12.2 million Americans require some sort of vision correction but don’t use any. Nearly 50% of parents with children under 12 have never taken their children to an eye care professional.

During National Eye Exam Month, Eye Michigan reminds everyone to make an appointment for a complete eye screening, whether it’s for glasses to get rid of vision related headaches, to perform better at school or on the job, or to catch a potential problem before it develops into a chronic or irreversible condition.

A noninvasive optical imaging device developed at Cedars-Sinai can provide early detection of changes that later occur in the brain and are a classic sign of Alzheimer’s disease, according to preliminary results from investigators conducting a clinical trial in Australia.

The researchers will present their findings July 15 in an oral presentation at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. They also were invited by conference organizers to participate in a “breaking news” news conference beginning at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, July 13 in Copenhagen, 1:30 a.m. EDT.

Dr. Leslie Grosinger, M.D., of the Eye Surgery Center of Michigan in Troy, performs both types of cataract surgery.

“Laser cataract surgery is a rapidly advancing technology making the surgical procedure more efficient and safer,” he says. “It is also considered less risky because it can make a strategically placed incision without using a blade and without taking the surgeon’s experience into account. It also softens the cataract using less energy than the traditional procedure, reducing the risk for potential complications such as bleeding or retinal detachment.”

Even so, cataract laser surgery is new. The FDA first gave approval to several laser companies for laser cataract surgery in 2011.

“There are no large clinical studies claiming that laser cataract surgery is a superior technology than traditional surgery by an experienced cataract surgeon,” Grosinger says. The surgical procedure takes less than an hour, although patients may spend more time in recovery. Laser cataract surgery usually takes longer than traditional cataract surgery because the patient is first treated with the laser and then moved to the operating room for completion. Moreover, using lasers doesn’t seem to improve recovery time. Most people are mobile the same day as surgery and back to normal vision and activities in a few more days. Last year, Grosinger performed laser cataract surgery on Marty Goldman of Farmington Hill. “I used to have outstanding vision as a young man, later I needed reading glasses, and not that long ago I couldn’t drive at night. I had developed cataracts and couldn’t see very well. “Last year’s cataract surgery went very well,” he says. “There was no pain, no discomfort, and I was amazed at the result especially since I didn’t feel anything. The procedure seemed so simple, but the results were immediate. I see so much better and can drive at night.” The standard artificial (intraocular) lens used in cataract surgery basically corrects distance vision. Insurance policies generally cover the cost of these lenses although patients may still require glasses or contacts for close-up vision. Today, there are also premium lenses available that reduce the need for glasses that are more costly and not usually covered by insurance.

There is no research that states laser surgery is better than the conventional method for removing cataracts.Consensus is, however, that as laser surgery for cataracts continues to advance and the technology is refined, it’s likely that the use of lasers in cataract surgery will become more widespread and frequent.
