Elective Eye Surgery
61 year old Winnie Herman savors every moment with her 20 month old granddaughter, Katie. But, she says, her glasses have been a definite hindrance on their time together. “It became very, very frustrating and seemingly the glasses were taking over my life. I had various pairs and sometimes I would forget where they were and I would start to get nervous if we were going out if I didn’t have them. I started to lose some independence,” says Winnie.
Initially, Winnie was considering Lasik surgery, but, instead she received a multifocal intraocular lens implant. “The multi-focal lens approaches the challenge of spectacles independence. In other words, it allows the patient to see distance, intermediate, and near, most of the time, without wearing glasses, or spectacles,” says ophthalmologist, Dr. Kenneth Rosenthal.
Lasik surgery, which uses a laser to sculpt and re-shape the corneal tissue for vision correction, was all the rage in the 90’s…it successfully freed millions from their glasses, but, medical experts now believe that particularly, for baby boomers, multifocal lens technology will soon be the treatment of choice.

Vision Impairment Study
If you think you might need glasses, but don’t, you’re not alone.
According to new research in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there are millions of Americans with vision impairment.
The most common reasons for vision impairment, fortunately, are refractive errors--when the lense of the eye doesn’t focus the image sharply on the retina, the seeing part of the eye. That’s where glasses and contact lenses come in. But you have to wear them to correct your vision.
“I wear glasses but only when I am in class to see the board.” Natalie admits what happens when she doesn’t wear her glasses: “It is all blurry.”
Hopefully all Natalie is nearsighted--meaning, she can’t see far away. (Read more about Vision Impairment Study)

Early On-set Glucoma
Marina Virdone can’t imagine not being a school teacher. She says next to taking care of her own children, teaching is her second greatest love. But, three years ago, life as Marina knew it was about to change. Marina had developed a severe eye infection that eventually turned into glaucoma.
“I said, my God, I’m young and I have children. I can’t afford to go blind,” says Marina Virdone.
At the young age of 39, Marina was faced with the possibility of losing her eyesight if she didn’t seek glaucoma treatment. “I had always thought of it as a disease that affects the elderly,” says Marina. (Read more about Early On-set Glucoma)
