New laser surgery helps to cure cataracts

Mike Musiker, 80, was recently diagnosed with a cataract in both of his eyes.
“I was saying to my golfing friends, ‘Where’d the ball go?’” Musiker said.  “The depth, I couldn't see that far.”
Cataracts affect more than 20 million Americans, and it is on the rise.  As baby boomers age, it is estimated that by 2020, more than 30 million will have the condition.
“A cataract is a clouding of a person's natural lens inside their eye, and when the lens becomes cloudy the window into the eye becomes cloudy and the patient loses vision,” said Dr. Eric Donnenfeld, an ophthalmologist at Ophthalmic Consultants of Long Island.
If untreated, cataracts can cause a person to lose all vision.  But surgery can be done to have the cataracts removed and return eyesight to the patient. Standard cataract surgery requires ophthalmologists to cut into the eye with a blade and then remove the affected lens with an ultrasound device.
But now there’s an even more efficient surgical option – laser surgery.
“Laser cataract surgery involves using a special device called a femtosecond laser that makes the incision into the eye, opens up the lens, then divides the lens into small quadrants,” Donnenfeld said. “It takes care of the major steps of cataract surgery that were before performed manually and are now performed with the precision of a laser.”
Musiker had laser cataract surgery this July and said he is now seeing better than ever.

10 MAKEUP TIPS FOR GLASSES WEARERS

When you wear glasses – it already draws attention to your face and your eyes, this is why your makeup should be clean, defined and perfect. Let me share with you some makeup tips and tricks that will make you a sexy and cute glasses wearer:

1) If you wear eyeglasses and want to look elegant and fashionable – pop on your lips bold, bright and strong colour of your choose: red, bright pink or coral will do. You will notice how your face will instantly change and you will look extremely elegant without trying too hard. Moreover, if you wear thick framed glasses – the bold lipstick will balance your face.

2) Compliment your frames. Sometime it can be fun to match your eyeshadow colour to your frames, but if you don’t feel like doing it, try to compliment your frame’s colour with your makeup. For example, if your frames have warm undertone, use warm toned eyeshadow colour or lipstick. It will look harmonious and sophisticated.

3) Define your eyes with the help of mascara, eyeliner or eye pencil to balance your frames with your eyes. To avoid smudging against the glasses – use waterproof makeup.

4) If you have thick frames (which are now very fashionable) – then draw thick lines with your eyeliner.
Actually, the thicker framed eyeglasses – the thicker should be your eyeliner. This way, you will have balance.

5) Invest in great concealer. When you wear glasses your eye area becomes even more noticeable. Glasses can even amplify your dark circles, mimic lines and puffy bags, so take care to conceal well the area around your eyes, it will make your eyes look bright and fresh!

6) Highlight the area under your eyes. Try to apply a little bit of shimmery highlighter on the area under your eyes, it will instantly brighten up your look. (Be light handed using highlighter! Tiny amount will do!)

7) Make your eyebrows look fabulous! When you wear glasses brows become of great importance. Eyebrows help to frame your face, so create a great shape and trim them regularly. If you can’t do it yourself, I recommend to go to a professional.

8) Use an eyelash curler. It doesn’t matter weather you wear mascara or not, curling your lashes will instantly open up your eyes and make you look cute behind your eyewear. It also will prevent your lashes from being smashed up against your lenses.

9) Don’t apply eyeshadow beyond the frame line, it can create a messy and unharmonious look.

10) Don’t forget the blush. Weather your wear eyeglasses or not, you need to look fresh and pretty, therefore, blush is our best friend!

The important thing is that, depending on your prescription, some glasses will make your eyes appear bigger and some – smaller. You will need to adjust your makeup accordingly as well.

Stay Beautiful!

Tetris can help correct lazy eye: researchers

        

Professor Robert Hess, left, director of research at the department of ophthalmology at McGill University and Dr. Simon Clavagnier, a McGill vision research associate, demonstrate the effect of wearing goggles while playing the game Tetris in Montreal, Monday, April 22, 2013. (Graham Hughes / THE CANADIAN PRESS)

        Patching has long been used to treat a lazy eye in children, although the therapy has limited success and doesn't work at all in adults with the condition formally known as amblyopia.

        Now researchers at McGill University in Montreal are testing an innovative means of improving visual function in adults with lazy eye -- a puzzle video game that forces both eyes to work together to overcome the common condition.
       In a study published Monday in the journal Current Biology, the researchers compared the use of the online video game Tetris with patching, a treatment in which the "good" eye is covered for a lengthy period of time. The idea is to make the weak eye do all the visual work in the hope of strengthening its acuity.

       The patients treated using Tetris showed a four-fold improvement in vision in their lazy eye compared with those who were patched, said ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Hess, director of McGill's vision research unit and principal investigator of the study.
       Tetris is an early video game that involves manipulating shapes made of small squares -- moving them side-to-side or rotating them -- as they fall to the bottom of a background grid of same-sized squares. The goal is to connect different shaped blocks, putting them together in an integrated whole before they fall to the bottom.
       "The game itself is sort of incidental in a way," Hess explained Monday from Montreal. "It just provides us with a platform to administer this training that we need to do in a way that's enjoyable.
       "The game itself is not so important as the principle behind how we manipulate the game to do some good."
       About three to four per cent of the population develops a lazy eye in very early childhood, making it the most common cause of vision problems in children. A lazy eye, which is unable to see details in sharp focus, has a number of causes, including having misaligned eyes (being cross-eyed) or having a congenital cataract that clouds the lens.
       The eye itself is usually otherwise normal, as is the optic nerve that transfers visual information to the brain. The problem is with the brain's visual cortex, which has learned to suppress the information from the weak eye in favour of the other eye, leading to single-eye or monocular vision.
       "We know the eye itself is fine; we know it's all in the brain," said Hess. "We're now beginning to realize that it's just the software that's gone wrong."
       Typically, people with amblyopia also have little or no 3D vision, because it takes both eyes working together to provide depth of vision.
       "It looks flat and boring. If you ever try walking around with a patch over one eye, the world looks miserable," Hess said of having inadequate three-dimensional depth of field.
       "It's getting the brain to get out of this learned suppressive mode that we're trying to do with this game."
       In the study of 18 adults with amblyopia, half played the game Tetris an hour a day for about six weeks, while the other half had a patch put over their good eye and played the game with just their bad eye.
       For the first group, the idea was to make the lazy eye focus on the falling shapes, which the researchers made high contrast, and to have the dominant eye focus only on the background grid, which was rendered in low contrast.
      "Using head-mounted video goggles, we were able to display the game dichoptically, where one eye was allowed to see only the falling objects and the other eye was allowed to see only the ground-plane objects," said Hess.
      "And it turns out the more they do that, the more the two eyes work together for the first time ever for them, the stronger it becomes and the more we can increase the contrast in the good eye, higher and higher, and bring it all the way up so the contrast is the same.
      "We know they're doing it because they're playing a video game, where to increase the contrast, they need to get a good score. And to get a good score, they need to have combined the information in two eyes."
      Hess believes binocular training like this should become standard treatment for adults with amblyopia. McGill holds a patent on the technique and hopes to commercialize it for use by health professionals.
The game-based procedure also is being tested in children by researchers at the Retina Foundation in Dallas, Texas, one part of a worldwide clinical trial that will compare the video game technique against patching to see which is superior.
     Finding a treatment other than patching the stronger eye would be a huge step in dealing with amblyopia, Hess said.
     "It's hated. It's universally hated because kids firstly don't want to be condemned to the poor vision of their amblyotic eye. They don't want to be teased. And it's annoying to have on," he said, noting that some kids are told they need to wear an eye patch for months or even years.
      "So there's lots of psychological and social reasons that have led to a low compliance."
      In any case, patching is no panacea, even for kids, whose brains have more plasticity than those of adults, he said.
      "It does improve vision a little bit in the younger age group, but it's never been as successful as it should be."

BÔHTEN EYEWEAR - UNIQUE FROM RECLAIMED MATERIAL

Canadian based, Ghanaian inspired, Bohten is committed to producing high quality eyeglasses from reclaimed material. 

 Their Story

It is on the mountainous region of Kwahu, highest habitable place in Ghana that Bôhten began its journey. Nana Osei, Founder of Bôhten amongst various ideas, had the initiative to use reclaimed material to manufacture an eco-luxury eyewear line. He draws inspiration from his Ghanaian roots, from his love of nature but mostly from his late grandfather Andrew Hanson Osei, who was Ghana’s first land surveyor in the 60’s.

 Why Bohten?

Bôhten’s mission is to develop a compost management initiative that collects environmental waste (barley, wheat, straw, lumber, wood) etc. We also look to create a chain of workshops that are responsible for the crafting and manufacturing of designer glasses in Africa and in various countries. This is the first step to a journey that will be nothing short of historic.

As a company they pride theirselves as leaders in a movement not yet realized. A shift towards a paradigm where social consciousness collides with creative expression. They are the representation not yet recognized that seeks to pay homage to a love of fashion without the loss of social responsibility. They’re not just a brand, they’re a revolution. They want to make more than just a statement, they want to make a difference. Join us on their quest buy buying their product as they seek to change the face of design with a vision that advocates both changes and awareness.

 They also have optical models!
