Find a Top Massachusetts LASIK Surgeon

“Making the effort to find a top LASIK surgeon is well worth the time”, commented Massachusetts LASIK Surgeon JoAnn C. Chang, M.D. But what makes a top LASIK surgeon? Certainly, top LASIK surgeons have the skill, expertise and experience to perform LASIK surgery in a safe, effective and predictable manner. But they also have some other characteristics that set them apart from the rest. 

Top LASIK Surgeons are easy to trust because they are empathic-they hear and appreciate what you say and they connect with you and your personal goals. 

Top LASIK Surgeons take care and time to consider every aspect of your eye health and vision during your evaluation and consultation. 

Top LASIK Surgeons say NO! if you are not a good candidate. 

Top LASIK Surgeons insist that you return for proper follow-up care even if YOU think you are doing just fine. 

Top LASIK Surgeons want to hear your questions-and are happy to answer them in simple understandable language. 

Top LASIK Surgeons fully discuss the risks, benefits, possible complications and side effects in a balanced manner. 

Top LASIK Surgeons can be counted on to effectively manage your eye surgery when things are going perfectly as well and when things a bit off track. 

Choosing a LASIK surgeon is the single most important decision you will make. Do the research. Meet the surgeon. If it works; move ahead. If not, schedule another consultation. At D’Ambrosio Eye Care, our patients regularly tell us that Corneal Specialist and LASIK Surgeon JoAnn C. Chang, M.D. is a “Top LASIK Surgeon”. You can find out for yourself by calling

Contact Lens Care

Contact lens care is an important part of comfortable and successful contact lens wear. Properly fit contact lenses can provide clear, comfortable vision. Maintaining good vision requires that patients properly care for their lenses. Proper cleaning, disinfection, and regular replacement of lenses are required to maintain healthy vision. 

Although many contact lens solutions were approved as “No-Rub” solutions, many studies have shown that rubbing the lenses prior to soaking them at night is more effective at cleaning lenses than skipping the rubbing step. Although some care systems have separate cleaners and disinfectants, most solutions today are multi-purpose solutions that can be used for both cleaning and disinfecting. 

“When cleaning your lenses, make sure your hands are clean and you use a lint-free towel to dry your hands. Several drops of solution are placed in the palm of your hand and using the index finger of your other hand, rub the contact lens for several seconds. The lens is then rinsed with the solution. Soaking the lenses for 4 to 6 hours is usually required to disinfect the lenses. Water should not be used to rinse or soak your lenses as there may be impurities or microorganisms present”, states Michael Fu, O.D., Optometrist at D’Ambrosio Eye Care. Proper replacement of lenses is also important to maintain healthy eyes. There are many types of disposable contact lenses with different replacement schedules. Disposable contact lenses can be single-use lenses that are thrown away at the end of each day so cleaning and disinfecting is not necessary. Other disposable lenses are replaced every 2 weeks, monthly, and quarterly. 

Conventional lenses can last up to 6 or 12 months. When lenses are kept this long, deposits may form on the lenses that can decrease comfort and clarity. A separate weekly enzyme treatment may be necessary to remove these deposits. Ask your eye doctor which type of lens is best for you.

Eyes, UV & Sun Damage

Many people enjoying the outdoors in greater Boston and throughout Massachusetts don’t realize the many ways and the degree to which the sun can damage your eyes and the surrounding tissue. Too much UV light can affect the surface of the cornea and actually cause an “eye sunburn” or “photokeratitis” which is uncomfortable and may temporarily impact vision. Inside the eye UV light can injure the crystalline lens turning it yellow and actually hasten the formation of cataracts. If too much sunlight reaches the retina, UV light can also cause varying types of “solar retinitis” and increase the risk of macular degeneration both of which can be sight threatening. 

All of us are susceptible to eye and eyelid cancers and other types of eye damage from the sun. Even though the eyelid is designed to protect the eye itself from the sun, eyelid skin is very thin and fragile and can be easily damaged by the sun. The number and types of eyelid cancers are many and a cause for concern among everyone. 

Thus, we should ALL take simple but effective precautions to protect our eyes and the structures inside and around our eyes: 

Wear a Brimmed Hat 

Use Sunscreen 

Wear Proper UV Protecting Sunglasses 

Using some common sense precautions goes a long way to protecting your eye health and vision. If you or someone you know has questions about eyes and sunlight or proper UV and sun protection for eyes, please feel free to call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937 and schedule an eye examination or visit D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare

Contact Lenses Complications

Contact lens complications are infrequent but can be troubling. Advances in contact lens materials have allowed for improved comfort and corneal health for contact lens wearers. However, despite improvements in lens design and materials, complications with contact lens wear still exist.

Corneal infections or ulcers are among the worst complications associated with contact lens wear. Over-wearing or sleeping in contact lenses can increase the chance of infections. Corneal ulcers can potentially leave a scar which may permanently reduce a person's vision. 

Giant papillary conjunctivitis is a reaction of the conjunctiva, the membrane lining the inner surface of the eyelids, which can cause bumps to form, resulting in discomfort and fluctuating vision with contact lens wear. This is thought to be caused by an allergic reaction to contact lens solutions or the deposits that form on contact lenses over time. 

Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common reasons that people drop out of contact lens wear. People who normally have marginal dry eye syndrome can have a significant increase in dryness symptoms with contact lens wear. 

A properly fitted contact lens, along with the proper care regimen, can help avoid most or all of these potential complications.

Boston Eye Doctor on Cataract & Ovarian Cancer Risk


Boston eye doctor Francis D’Ambrosio Jr., M.D. commented on interesting research regarding cataracts and ovarian cancer risk. “As an ophthalmologist, any association between eye diseases, problems or conditions and other health problems is of great interest to me,” stated Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. “There may be a relationship whereby women who develop cataracts are less prone to developing ovarian cancer, according to researchers."

It is widely recognized that the major health benefit of exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation from the sun is the production of Vitamin D, which is helpful in protection against several human cancers, including ovarian carcinoma. On the other hand, Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation from the sun is a recognized risk factor for cataract development. Researchers reporting in the November 2011 publication Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention studied 709 women with primary invasive ovarian carcinoma and 1101 controls to examine the association of ovarian carcinoma risk with a history of cataract.

Some interesting findings were that older age, a history of Type 2 Diabetes and skin cancer were significant risk factors for developing a cataract. Further, a history of cataract was reported by 14% of cases and 17% of controls and was significantly associated with a reduced ovarian carcinoma risk. These findings add indirect evidence to the hypothesis that lifetime Vitamin D exposure may be inversely associated with risk of ovarian carcinoma. Additional studies are needed to further investigate the potential behavioral and biological factors that might influence association of cataract with ovarian cancer.

If you have any questions about cataract surgery or cataract risk, contact D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling us at 800-325-3937, visiting D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help.

What is Macular Degeneration?

Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in people age 60 and older. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina, responsible for central vision and seeing fine details. The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that captures the picture that we see. ARMD destroys central vision, what we use for daily tasks, like reading and driving. In ARMD vision loss can be mild or severe, and it can worsen gradually or suddenly.

There are 2 forms of the disease: Dry ARMD and Wet ARMD. In Dry ARMD the deterioration tends to be slow and gradual. In Wet ARMD abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina, destroying the retina, and causing sudden and severe vision loss.

High-dose antioxidant vitamins have been shown to reduce the risk of advanced ARMD and vision loss. Adequate levels of these vitamins and minerals are difficult to obtain just by diet. They are not a cure for AMD but may delay the onset of advanced disease. Wet ARMD can be treated with injections of medicines into the eye.

All patients should have a dilated eye exam to look for Macular Degeneration. To schedule a dilated eye exam or if you have questions, please call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937. You may also request an appointment at facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare.

If you or someone you know suffers from eyestrain symptoms they are encouraged to schedule an eye examination at D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling us at 800-325-3937, visiting D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help identify the possible causes and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Boston Cataract Surgeon on Surgery & Diabetes

Boston Cataract Surgeon Francis D’Ambrosio, Jr. M.D. shared information and facts about cataract surgery and diabetes. “With the proper detailed preoperative evaluation, examination and surgical care, cataract surgery can be successfully performed for patients with diabetes,” stated Dr. D’Ambrosio, Jr. “This is fortunate as diabetes is a well known risk factor for developing cataracts. Diabetic patients are also at risk for developing diabetic retinopathy, a serious threat to vision and a leading cause of new blindness. In fact, it is not uncommon for diabetic patients to need cataract surgery often at an earlier age than others who are not diabetic due to their increased risk factors,” he further explained.

Even though diabetes is known to predispose patients to slower and more difficult wound healing, the type of small-incision cataract surgery we use on a routine basis poses no additional risk to diabetic patients than non-diabetic patients. Often, it is important that diabetics considering cataract surgery have a careful evaluation of the retina-especially the macula-using ocular coherence tomography (OCT) to identify the presence of diabetic macular edema (DME), a known finding in diabetic retinopathy that can cause less then optimal results after cataract surgery. In addition, in certain situations cataract surgeons may take an added precaution of placing an injection of VEGF inhibitor such as Avastin™ or Lucentis™ into the vitreous of the eye to prevent new blood vessel growth. Other than these considerations diabetic cataract surgery can offer patients good results. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to preserving eye health and vision with diabetes. See your eye doctor regularly as he or she requests.

If you or someone you know has questions about diabetes and cataract surgery, please feel free to call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937, visit D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare to schedule an appointment.

Eyeglass Lens Materials: Comfort & Cosmetics

Ever wonder why your eyeglasses look thicker than other peoples? Or why you have red marks on your nose at the end of the day? Yes, it depends greatly on your personal Rx, but even with a more difficult Rx you can still choose the right frame and lenses to obtain greater comfort and cosmetics. Farsighted (+ Rx) patients have lenses with thicker centers. The stronger the prescription, the more the center of the lens bulges forward from the frame. These lenses give the wearer’s eye an unnaturally magnified “bug-eyed” look. While nearsighted (- Rx) patients have lenses with thicker edges. The stronger your prescription, the more edge thickness. This makes the lens highly visible in the frame. These lenses make the wearer’s eye look smaller, and have a “beady-eyed” appearance. Even your frame choice is important to the cosmetics of your lenses. 

Most of today’s frames are made of plastic or metal with rims thinner than the lens itself. Also, popular rimless mountings mean that the lens edges are completely exposed. In either case, the lens edges are highly visible, and thicker edges can detract from the appearance of your eyewear.

For those patients with a prescription over a 3.00 (+ or -) we recommend a high-index material. Some stores will inform you their lens is high-index but a lot of the time they are selling you polycarbonate. High-Index to us here at D’Ambrosio Eye Care is an aspheric design and this design adds to the ability to bend light more efficiently so it can be designed to be thinner, which requires less material which then also reduces the overall weight of the lens. Generally, the higher the index the more cost to the patient so we are careful to recommend the most suitable index.

High-Index 1.67 is the lens choice for rimless and semi-rimless frames because it drills with more success and is thinner for the higher prescriptions. In any frame we would recommend this lens if your Rx was over 3.00 to 5.00 because it will be up to 55% thinner and lighter than plastic.

Hi-Index 1.70 is recommended for single vision wearers with an Rx over 3.00, and will be up to 60% thinner and lighter than plastic. Hi-Index 1.74 is the highest lens on the current market and is up to 65% thinner and lighter than plastic and we recommend this lens when the Rx is over 5.00. All High-Index lenses should be paired with Crizal™ Avance with Scotchgard ™ Protector non-glare, most manufactures require non-glare as it improves the clarity of vision by reducing any reflections off the lens and also makes the lenses appear thinner, improving appearance.

For more information on lenses and materials, please stop by any optical department at D’Ambrosio Eye Care or schedule an eye examination at D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling us at 800-325-3937, visiting D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help identify the possible causes and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Massachusetts Fireworks Eye Safety

“Now is the time to be aware of the importance of fireworks eye safety and precautions to prevent July 4th eye injuries,” noted Massachusetts Ophthalmologist Francis D’Ambrosio, Jr., M.D. “We remind patients that no matter what they believe, there is no safe way for nonprofessionals to use fireworks. It is only safe to enjoy the excitement of fireworks at a professional display”, commented Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr., M.D., Medical Director of D’Ambrosio Eye Care. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, fireworks are involved in approximately 10,000 injuries per year that are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Of those, 2/3 occurred during the one month period surrounding the July 4th holiday.

It is important to note that:
· Eyes were the Second Most Commonly Injured Part of the Body!
· Males were injured 3x more than females.
· Approximately 25% of injuries are to children under 15.
Fireworks and celebrations go together, especially during the Fourth of July. But there are precautions parents can take to prevent these injuries. The best defense against kids suffering severe eye injuries and burns is to not let them play with any fireworks. Do not purchase, use or store fireworks of any type. Protect yourself, your family and your friends by avoiding fireworks. Attend only authorized public fireworks displays conducted by licensed operators, but be aware that even professional displays can be dangerous.

If an eye accident does occur, what should you know?
· Do not rub the eye.
· Do not attempt to rinse out the eye. This can be even more damaging than rubbing.
· Do not apply pressure to the eye itself. Protect the eye from further contact with any item, including the child's hand.
· Do not stop for medicine! Over-the-counter pain relievers will not do much to relieve pain. Aspirin (should never be given to children) and ibuprofen can thin the blood, increasing bleeding. Take the child to the emergency room at once.
· Do not apply ointments or drops. They may not be sterile and may make the area around the eye slippery and harder for the doctor to examine.
Once you are seen in the emergency room please feel free to have them call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937 as we always have an eye doctor “on call” to provide consultation and continued care for you.
