We're heading to Eagle House in Lunenburg for a vision screening

Next Wednesday, 2/16, we'll be offering a free vision screening for seniors at Eagle House in Lunenburg.  Our Optometrist, Khyla Lance, O.D., and technicians will check vision, pressure for glaucoma and check for cataracts.  This is one way we provide some TLC to the communities we service!

Screening at the Shirley Senior Center



Khyla Lance, O.D.



Recently we were at the Senior Center in Shirley to provide a free vision, glaucoma and cataract screening to their members.  Despite over a foot of snow the day before, quite a few hearty folks ventured out to the Center. 

Following their yoga class, several of the members stopped in.  It was nice to see some familiar faces from our last screening there.
Khaya Lance, O.D. was our Optometrist for the screening.

How is glaucoma detected?



The best way to detect glaucoma is to have regular eye examinations.  As part of a complete eye exam, you eye doctor will check the intraocular pressure of your eye.  It is important that you inform the technicians and doctor of any family history of glaucoma. 

Bin (Benjamin) Wu, M.D. is our glaucoma specialist and treats patients in all three of our offices.

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month

Prevent Blindness America has designated January 2011 as National Glaucoma Awareness Month.  This is an important time to spread the word about this sight-stealing disease.  Our understanding of this disease, along with the ways in which we can diagnose and treat it, have improved considerably.

The key to successful treatment of glaucoma is early detection and intervention.  Please share this information with friends, and especially with relative, if you have glaucoma as the family predisposition toward getting glaucoma has been demonstrated to be pretty strong.

At our three offices in Lancaster, Acton, and Gardner, Massachusetts we are pleased to be able to offer the full scope of glaucoma diagnosis and treatment through our eye doctors.  Patients at D'Ambrosio Eye Care should feel particularly confident as Bin (Benjamin) Wu, M.D. is a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist who can attend to even the most complex glaucoma problems and needs.
