Springing Into Spring with Improved Reading Vision

Dr. Brian 0 Comment Farsightedness, Reading Vision , , ,

Spring is here and annual checkups and physicals are at the top of most families lists. Improving reading vision is an important part of many of our lives, especially for those who live an active life. Spring could be a good time to discuss with your eye care professional about how you can improve reading vision.

For those with increasing difficulty reading, CK can be an option to improve reading vision.

What is CK and What are the Benefits

What is CK?

CK is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed in the doctor’s office. It reshapes the cornea using low grade radio waves. It can also be done in combination with other procedures to help improve the overall result. It is a great option for those who are slowly losing their reading vision.

What are the Benefits of CK?

There are several benefits of using CK for vision correction. Below are a few:

• Reduced recovery & procedure time
• Little to no pain
• Non-invasive procedure
• Helps improve near vision within 1 day

LipiFlow Treatment For Dry Eyes

Dr. Brian 0 Comment LASIK

If you suffer from  Dry Eye, you are familiar with how it can affect your daily life.  Dry Eye Syndrome is caused when the eyes do not produce a sufficient amount of tears. The symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome may start with minor inconveniences, but have the ability to worsen over time if it is not properly treated. This can lead to blurred vision, scarring and severe discomfort. 9 out of 10 Dry Eye cases are a result of a condition called Blepharitis.  We offer a treatment here at our office called LipiFlow, which is a revolutionary treatment that cleans out the inflamed oil glands by very delicately heating up the glands and “milking” out the clogged pores. This painless procedure takes about 12 minutes to perform and is just as easy as getting your teeth cleaned at the dentist. A lot of our patients describe the procedure as a “spa treatment” for the eyes. Below is a video of our Bleph Ex Dry Eye Treatment. Call our office and schedule your appointment today (310) 860-1900.

 

A BRIEF NOTE ABOUT DR. BRIAN

Throughout his highly respected career, cornea specialist Dr. Brian has never wavered with his integrity and dedication to always do the best for each and every patient - even in the face of adversity and peer pressure. Case in point: when he developed a procedure to treat a cornea condition known as Keratoconus. While other eye surgeons were entrenched in performing invasive and painful cornea transplants, Dr. Brian invented a new non-invasive procedure that prevented needing cornea transplants. He was shocked by the medical establishment being unwelcoming to his innovation because, as he later found out, his new procedure was preventing other eye surgeons from performing their lucrative cornea transplants. Dr. Brian persisted, went against the grain and didn’t give up because he believed in himself and in his procedure as it was in the best interest of patients. Eventually, he crossed paths with U.S. Olympic bobsled driver Steven Holcomb who had Keratoconus and became so depressed over it that he tried to commit suicide. Luckily, he survived. The United States Olympic team and his coaches found Dr. Brian and sent Steven to see him. Dr. Brian restored his vision to 20/20 which enabled Steven later win a historic Olympic gold medal for United States in bobsled - the first in 62 years! As a result, Dr. Brian was later invited to give a prestigious TEDx talk about his integrity and dedication to patients. You can watch his moving and inspiring TEDx talk here.
