HINTS OF SOMETHING SERIOUS
While the presence of isolated pockets of yellowish skin around the upper
and lower eyelids (“xanthelasmata”) may be neither painful nor harmful,
they may be indicative of a more serious underlying condition. Recent research
indicates that people who develop these collections of yellow plaques may be
at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. So, although xanthelasmata may
be easily removed, an increased threat of heart disease is likely to linger. With
this in mind, those with these yellow patches on their eyelids are advised to
consult with a doctor about having their blood-cholesterol levels checked. The
same advice goes for people with opaque white or gray rings around their corneas
(“arcus senilis”), which may also be indicative of high cholesterol levels.
P.S. Arcus senilis (white or gray corneal rings) result from cholesterol deposits
in the eye.

CLOUDED THINKING
It would seem likely that seniors would be quite knowledgeable about an eye
condition that is a leading cause of blindness of people in their age group
in the United States. Yet, when older individuals divulge what they think they
know about cataracts, misinformation abounds. One of the more unfortunate
aspects of the misunderstandings surrounding cataracts is that they prevent
those needing treatment from getting the care they need or promote unrealistic
expectations of treatment. Simply put, the U.S. National Eye Institute states
that cataracts occur when the eye lens grows cloudy. Cataracts do NOT grow
on top of the eye, nor should one necessarily wait until the eye lens goes completely
white before seeking surgical treatment.
P.S. Cataracts can be removed and replaced with a clear, man-made lens
with cataract surgery, which takes about a half-hour to complete and is
successful more than 95% of the time.

WHEN PARENTS SEE RED
Because children indiscriminately rub their eyes and are in close contact
with other children at school and in day care, they are highly susceptible
to contracting conjunctivitis, or “pink eye.” This very common infectious eye
disease produces infl ammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent membrane
that lines the inner surfaces of the eyelid and folds back to cover the front
surface of the eyeball. The fi rst symptom of conjunctivitis is eye discomfort,
followed by redness, infl ammation, and a discharge that crusts over. Treatment
varies according to type. While bacterial conjunctivitis responds to prescription
antibiotic drops or ointment, viral conjunctivitis will disappear on its own.
Either can be soothed with warm compresses applied to closed eyes.
P.S. Allergic conjunctivitis is an allergic response that may clear up when
the allergen is removed.

Dr. Keamy Offers Premium Cataract Lenses |
|
Many of our patients came to us initially because they were interested in getting rid of glasses with refractive surgery.
If they had any trace of a cataract, they were not candidates for LASIK. As their cataracts have grown, the advances in cataract surgery have grown, too.
Four years ago, Dr. Keamy began offering multifocal and toric lens implants. In the past year, more patients have elected to have these premium lenses inserted at the time of cataract surgery.
In traditional cataract surgery, the cataract or cloudy lens is removed surgically. Basic cataract surgery replaces the naturual lens with a plastic monofocal lens. The monofocal lens does not correct astigmatism; however, it can make a patient see clearer at either near or far but not at both distances.
A premium toric lens can correct an astigmatism for clearer vision at either distance or up close. A premium multifocal lens can correct vision for both distance and up close. The toric multifocal lens has not yet been approved by the FDA. In the meantime, Dr Keamy can perform a limbal relaxing incisions in the cornea to reduce the astigmatism when a multifocal lens is inserted in the eye.
Now many of my cataract patients can see even better than ever given the new technology. We are very pleased to offer these lenses to our patients at Keamy Eye & Laser Centre.

New Electronic Medical Records |
Keamy Eye & Laser Centre has implemented our new EMR this fall for all our patients. We are very excited with our system. It will allow us to link our camera, OCT, and visual field machine to each record. Dr. Keamy will be able to show you during the exam the results of your tests. It also enables us to send information to your referring physician in a very timely manner with a few clicks on the computer. With new technology, there is always some growing pains. We need all of our patients to update their medical records. New forms will be available on our website. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
