Kids Need Sunglasses Too!

Kids need sunglasses too. Sunglasses in the bins at checkout in your local department or clothing stores are generally just polycarbonate lenses in a non prescription-ready frame, costing about $15. Here we have kid’s sunglasses that start at $39, costing a few more dollars but worth the extra money. If you have insurance, which most people do, your most basic discount is about 15% off bringing the cost down. These lenses are polycarbonate (impact resistant), polarized, mirror coated and come with a manufacturer’s 1 year warranty. If your child wears a prescription we have frames that are prescription-ready, too. Remember to bring your child in so they can help choose their new pair of sunglasses. Children are more apt to wear frames they picked out and we need them here so we can be sure they fit comfortably.

Carrie's LASIK Experience

Carrie tells us about her LASIK experience…

 “Why did I not do this sooner? All the staff was super-accommodating and informative.  I wouldn’t think about going anywhere else. I was the third person in my family to have this procedure done at D’Ambrosio Eye Care and we all have had nothing but positive things to say.”

If you or some you know is tired of the hassle of glasses or contact lenses for seeing at distance and would like to find out if LASIK might be a good vision correction option, please call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937, visit D’Ambrosio Eye Care, Google or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help.

Cataract Risk from Working Outdoors

Cataracts are a leading cause of decreased vision, especially in seniors. Patients always ask us if it is possible to prevent cataract from forming. There has been a great deal of research that has identified your exposure to solar radiation-or sunlight-as a main risk factor for developing a cataract. This is one of the reasons we urge patients to wear proper UV absorbing eyewear when they are exposed to sunlight. Further, patients who have outdoor occupations and are exposed to long hours of sunlight on a daily basis should be especially aware of the need for UV protection as they perform their daily work activities. A recent review of 15 different cataract studies regarding the relationship between cataract risk and sunlight or solar radiation exposure confirms the increased risk, and reinforces the need to limit sunlight exposure.

If you or someone you know spends a great deal of time outdoors or is exposed to sunlight as part of each day due to your work environment please be sure to wear UV protecting eyewear. If you are concerned about developing a cataract please schedule an eye exam at D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937, visit D’Ambrosio Eye Care, Google or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help.

It’s New Sunglass Time Again!

June 21^st is the first official day of summer. Maybe you have already been to the beach or maybe you booked your summer vacations already. Either way, you need the perfect sunglasses, and we have you covered. We carry many designer brands like Gucci, Kate Spade, Ray Ban, Oakley and Maui Jim.  Maui Jim has some of the best lenses for going to the beach in style. They come in prescription and non prescription, you can choose your lens color and mirror coating and all their lenses come with non-glare. Non-glare helps alleviate being uncomfortable from blinding sun glare but it also helps keep your lenses clean from things like sun block oils. Some folks really enjoy their bifocal sun lenses; they are great for reading poolside or at the beach. And we all know each year Ray Ban will come out with the latest greatest styles similar to all the other frame designers we carry.
