Who Can Perform Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery?

Dr. Balaji Perumal, M.D.

Choosing a Cosmetic Eyelid Surgeon
Patients will sometimes ask me about the different types of surgeons who can perform cosmetic eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. There are a number of different specialties which perform these procedures, although oculoplastic surgeons are specifically trained and experienced in surgery for both the eye itself and the surrounding delicate eyelid tissues. They are knowledgeable about the aesthetics of how to help patients look their best, and are generally a sound choice for cosmetic eyelid surgery for puffy, droopy, saggy tired looking eyes.

My Cataract Story

By: Frances C.

When I arrived at the Cataract and Laser Center my eye was marked and confirmed several times. I was very impressed with how thorough the staff was. I was brought into the laser room and noticed some mild pressure but it only lasted a very short time. I was awake for the entire time but Dr. D’Ambrosio, Jr. talked to me and explained everything that was going on. After surgery was done I went home and slept for 3 hours. Once I woke up I was watching TV and there was a woman wearing a blue dress. I looked at the blue dress with the eye that had surgery and then the eye that hasn’t had surgery yet and the difference in the color blue was amazing. The eye that was just done earlier in the day was so vivid and bright. The eye that still has the cataract was so dull and pale. I already noticed a big difference in driving as well. I keep telling my sister how wonderful it went and how great my vision is, I think she is getting tired of hearing about it.

I would recommend this procedure to anyone that is suffering from cataracts, even if you don’t think you are, you will be amazed. Thank you Dr. D’Ambrosio and all of your staff for helping me see so clearly again.

Dry Eye Discomfort Slows Reading

Dry Eye Slows Reading Speed
Anyone who experiences the symptoms of dry eye is familiar with dryness, discomfort, burning, light sensitivity and even watering that can mark the presence of dry eye disease. But, did you know that dry eye problems and disease can impact visual function? Researchers reporting in Cornea compared visual function using reading tests including the Radner Reading Test, the International Reading Speed Texts [IReST], and the Wilkins Reading Test and studied cognitive function, fatigue, dry eye symptoms, reading acuity, reading rate and blink rate. The results showed significantly lower reading rates in all reading tests in patients with dry eye and a significantly increased fatigue level when reading in dry eye patients.

Does Your Family Use Technology?

Have you been hearing about blue light and want to know more about it? Blue light is everywhere at this point. There is good blue light and bad blue light. You need just the right amount of blue light so your body releases melatonin our sleep hormone but too much will keep you up at night. Blue light emits from the sun but also things like smart phones, televisions, tablets, computers, kindles, and all the new light bulbs. We are at a new all time high when considering our indoor blue light (HEV) exposure. Our eyes are only equipped to handle natural blue light exposure so they are being overexposed on a daily basis. Damage from overexposure which is considered over 4 hours daily is linked to poor sleep and an increased risk to AMD. There are a lot of new products out there to protect your vision some are of lesser quality that block all blue light, including the good blue light. We have available to you a few different options that will protect your vision (and sleep) while also helping improve CVS (computer vision syndrome) as the causes of both is very similar. Interested in learning more about blue light or your blue light protection options stop by any of our locations and ask our licensed Opticians more about it.
