Quack Eye Cure No. 4. Color Therapy
The notion that different shades of visible light can heal the body is called color therapy or chromotherapy. Augustus J. Pleasonton launched a blue light health craze after claiming it improved the health of all living things. Scientific American debunked his theories in 1877.
Later, in 1920, Dinshah P. Ghadiali began selling the Spectro-Chrome Therapeutic System.
The device, a box with a large light bulb inside, emitted light through 12 colored filters. Each color was said to help specific ailments or body parts. The blue light filter was used to “cure” glaucoma and cataracts. He and his device were exposed as frauds in court.
However, a version of the device is still sold today, so don’t be fooled—visit our ophthalmologists to treat glaucoma and cataracts.

Life-altering eye injuries are an increasingly common result of urban protests and demonstrations. We have seen it around the world, from Kashmir to Chile to Hong Kong — and we now see it in the United States. The American Academy of Ophthalmology this week called on members of Congress to restrict the use of rubber bullets after more than 20 Americans across the country suffered serious eye injuries while peacefully protesting.
This Academy urged leaders of the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary to support our call against rubber bullets as they consider police reform measures. Here’s a map of states, counties and cities that have already taken action on rubber bullets.
Tracking eye injuries from rubber bullets
To determine how many people have sustained eye injuries or lost sight due to their participation in protests, the Academy and University of California San Francisco have launched a registry through the school’s ophthalmology department.
Here’s what we’ve learned so far:

Cataract Laser Surgery
Cataract Surgery/ Laser Cataract Surgery (Phaco/ Femtosecond Laser) are achieved by the removal of the natural lens and the placement of an implant that best fits your personal needs. There are two technologies to choose from when performing this task. There is the most common practice of phacoemulsification wherein the internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye and there is also an advanced bladeless technology wherein a laser is utilized to cut the lens into small pieces prior to being aspirated from the eye. Please call our office for an appointment to ask your surgeon, Dr. Jatla, Dr. Brundrett, and Dr. Nguyen which method would be best for you.
Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (CNLDO) can lead to excessive tearing in your newborn infant that is noted around 6-8 weeks of life. The eyelashes will appear matted together, there will be both tears and mucous which could often be confused for an eye infection. The cause of the obstruction is often a mucosal valve at the end of the lacrimal system which when open, drains the tears into the nasal cavity. Having the tears sit undrained may lead to an area of bacterial growth that may cause an infection. In such a case, the white of the eye will be red and there may be discolored discharge. If this occurs, please come in immediately to see your pediatrician or eye care provider.
