Watch Out!

Games that feature a ball of some kind are more likely to cause eye injuries.
Some of the most common eye injuries you can get while playing sport is a corneal abrasion from a foreign object entering the eye. Other potential injuries to the eye during sport include grass, dirt or sand getting into the eye, which can cause a scratched cornea. Other injuries you can sustain include:
*Orbital fracture (a break in one of the bones surrounding the eye)
*Subconjunctival hemorrhage (broken blood vessel in the eye)
*Eye swelling
*Cuts, scratches, or bruises on the eyelid
*Retinal detachment

IT’S SPORTS EYE SAFETY MONTH!

More than 25,000 people seek treatment for sports-related eye injuries each year. The good news is that almost all of these injuries can be prevented. Whatever your game, whatever your age, you need to protect your eyes!

Super Eye Foods

Good eye health starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems like macular degeneration and cataracts.

Better Care for Diverse Populations

Clarity Eye Center provides care for a culturally diverse patient population. We treat patients who vary in shapes, sizes, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, health, ability, education, expressive traits, and linguistic styles.

What is patient equity?
Equity in health care is when every person has the opportunity to attain their full potential of health, and no one is disadvantaged from attaining this potential due to race/ethnicity, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, socioeconomic status, or geographical background.
We recognize that every patient encounter is unique.

Clarity Eye Center accepts and understands differences in customs, values, beliefs, ethnicity, and patterns of thinking of our employees, provider teams, and patient population.

WE NOW TREAT WITH TEPEZZA

TEPEZZA is indicated for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease.

TEPEZZA, the first and only FDA-approved treatment specifically for TED, works at the source of the disease.

TEPEZZA has been shown to be effective in patients with a wide range of clinical manifestations.

TEPEZZA alleviates many of the symptoms of TED by producing anatomic changes to the tissues behind the eye.

 

What is the 20 20 20 rule?

For every 20 minutes a person looks at a screen, they should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Following the rule is a great way to remember to take frequent breaks. This may reduce eye strain caused by looking at digital screens for too long.

WHY WORKPLACE EYE WELLNESS MONTH IS IMPORTANT

A. It’s very relevant
Eye wellness is a topic that is especially relevant in the digital age we live in. Besides specific hazards of injury related to some professions, it is a topic that affects every worker who has to sit in front of a screen.
B. It raises our awareness
The number of people affected by Computer Vision Syndrome is increasing. However, many of us do not know what can be done at the workplace to improve eye wellness for all. March gives us the opportunity to discuss and agree on better organizational policies to solve the issue.
C. It reminds us to be healthy
Eye wellness is also an individual goal. Whether it’s wearing a pair of safety goggles when required, or eating nutritious food that’s good for our eyes and body, we need to work towards improving our eye health and preventing injury and disease.

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are cloudy areas that form on the lens of your eye. Your lens is a clear, flexible structure made mostly of proteins (crystallins). As you get older, the proteins in your lens break down, forming cloudy patches that affect your vision.

You may feel as if you’re looking at the world through a dirty window. Over time, your vision gets worse. You may have a hard time carrying out routine tasks.

Healthcare providers consider cataracts an inevitable part of aging, and age-related cataracts is the most common form of the condition.

But you don’t have to live with fading vision. Our Ophthalmologists here at Clarity Eye Center can do surgery to remove the cataracts and restore your vision.
