Blink- A quick view of what's new                                                           May 2010
Captain Anands 5th BirthdayGreetings!

      It's been a while since we updated you about our office and new developments.  In this article we will update you on a new frame line and a few different contact lens options.   These new contact lens options may help for those about to give up on wearing contacts, or for those not sure whether contacts are a good option for them.
Also, we will talk about prescription sports glasses and goggles for those getting ready to enjoy outdoor activities this spring and summer. You can stay on top of  new products and developments on our following social media sites..

 Acuvue Moist -  1 day lenses
 This is a great option for many patients.  If you answered yes to the following questions,  you may want to consider this mode of contact lens wear.
 
  1)  Do you only want to wear contacts for special occasions or weekends?
 
2)  Do you feel that your glasses get in the way sometimes,  especially with sports?
 
 3)  Do you even remember how old that pair of contacts your currently wearing is?
 
  4)  Do seasonal allergies reduce the comfort of your contacts? 
 
 5)    Do you procrastinate when it comes to cleaning your contact lenses and changing your solution?
 
6)   Are you a parent who has had to deal with multiple pairs of broken glasses and scratched lenses, but worry if your child is going to be able to handle the responsibility of wearing contact lenses ?
 
 
 
  If you answered yes to any of those questions above, maybe it's time you discovered a new modality of lens wear.  If you have worn daily disposables but have had issues,  perhaps trying the new advance design of Acuvue 1-Day Acuvue Moist lenses is for you.

Try our new unique frame line from Morel.  With a funny name like this, can you guess where this frame line is from?   The company is based in France but its inspiration for the frame line comes from a Scandinavian country.
 
   This men's line is different than any other frame line that we have introduced in the past.  This contemporary line is bold and distinctive,  perfect for the businessman that wants to makes a statement. 
 
Captain Anands 5th Birthday Arms too short ?? 
 
I'm sure many of you have experienced this problem where your arms aren't long enough anymore, making it difficult to read small print.
    This can be especially frustrating if you wear contact lenses.   A monovision fit works well for some patients in the beginning, but becomes more difficult as their presbyopia worsens.  The large disparity in vision between both eyes can cause rivalry between the eyes and problems with depth perception.
           It is natural and easier for us to use both eyes together.  The newest lens in our toolbox to combat this problem is the Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia.
Captain Anands 5th Birthday Sports Eyewear
 
   
 One set of eyeglasses doesn't work in all situations.  We are all familiar with problems that occur while exercising, participating in sports, or during the hot summer months.  
 
I'm sure we've also had the experience of losing or breaking our glasses during sporting events.   Many eye injuries are caused by not wearing protective eyewear with sports such as raquetball, basketball, and soccer.   
 
In fact, there are over 600,000 eye injuries as a result of sports and recreation activities each year.   Almost 90% of these injuries could have
been prevented with the right protective eyewear.
 
Studies show that 80% of children do not use protective eyewear in activities that show a risk of eye injury.
 
A better option for your eyes would be sports goggles, prescription sunglasses or sports goggles that are specifically designed to meet impact resistant guidelines.
