I asked chatGPT to describe an Optometrist in the style of Dr. Seuss.

"An optometrist, with a keen eye,
Helps folks see clearly, up in the sky.
With a chart and a lens, they do their best,
To help improve vision, and give it a test.

They check the eyes, with care and delight,
Making sure they're healthy, day and night.
With a smile and a nod, they give the go,
To see the world clearly, in high-definition, you know!

Oh! An optometrist, what a special breed,
Helping folks see the world, with clarity and speed.
With a smile that shines, and a heart that's true,
They help improve vision, for me and for you!"

Due to the inclement weather, our office will be closed today. We will call and reschedule patients when we are back. Thank you for your understanding 🙏 ❤

Happy holidays! 😊

Lutein/Zeaxanthin Tops Beta Carotene in Reducing Late AMD, Lung Cancer Risk 💊
Patients who took AREDS supplements with the former were significantly less likely to develop either condition over time.
The first Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), which investigated whether nutritional supplements can prevent or slow the development of cataracts or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), found that beta carotene may lead to an increased risk of lung cancer. For this reason, the nutrient was replaced with lutein/zeaxanthin for half of the patients of the AREDS2 study.
Researchers recently performed a follow-up study of participants from the trial to determine the long-term outcomes of using beta carotene vs. lutein/zeaxanthin. They determined that while the former nearly doubled a patient’s risk of developing lung cancer, no such risk existed from taking lutein/zeaxanthin. The nutrient also seemed to be superior in preventing or slowing late AMD progression. reviewofoptometry.com/article/lutein-zeaxanthin-tops-beta-carotene-in-reducing-late-amd-lung-cancer-risk

Researchers test 3D-printed, self-moisturizing contact lens Researchers are investigating a 3D-printed self-moisturizing contact lens that could be a catalyst for the development of next-generation contact lens-based medical devices.

"Visually Handicapped" —This patient’s medical history and genetics played a key role in in finding the correct diagnosis.

➡ A 35-year-old mentally handicapped Hispanic male presented with his mother for a second opinion on possible treatment options to help him see better. He reported a gradual painless, progressive loss of vision in both eyes that started at about nine years old. His mother reported that his vision was so poor by age 14 that he was only able to detect light.

➡ His medical history is significant for mental delay. He also has hearing loss and polycystic kidney disease. As a child, he had strabismus surgery on the right eye to improve alignment and also had surgery to remove extra toes.

➡ On examination, he had only light perception vision in each eye. Though his extraocular alignment appeared normal, he did have roving eye movements. His pupils were equal, round and reactive to light; there was no afferent pupillary defect. Tensions by applanation tonometry measured 12mm Hg in each eye. The anterior segment was unremarkable.
