FDA Approves New Eyelash Enhancing Treatment
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Latisse, a new topical treatment to increase length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes.
Available only by prescription, Latisse is applied to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile applicator, typically after makeup removal. Users should see a difference after 8 weeks of treatment, but full results are apparent after 16 weeks. The effect is maintained as long as you continue to use the product. Lashes will gradually return to their untreated state if Latisse is discontinued.
The active ingredient in Latisse is one that was originally used to lower eye pressure in people with certain types of glaucoma, and the side effect of the drug was eyelash growth. The safety of the ingredient has been confirmed by clinical trials and more than 13 years of use.
Negative side effects are typically mild and include eyelid irritation and redness. These can easily be resolved by discontinuation of the treatment.

Vision Correction without Surgery is a Reality
Have you ever wished you could have laser vision correction, but were unable to because of cost or fear of going under the knife?
 What if I told you that there is a non-surgical alternative available that would free you from your eyeglasses or contact lenses during the daytime. Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) is a technology that uses contact
lenses to gently reshape the front surface of your eyes while you
sleep. Upon waking, you actually remove the lenses and go about your
day.

New Retinal Camera!
In order to provide you with state-of-the-art care, we have just
installed a new camera that takes high resolution photos of the back of
the eye.
As you know, it's important to have annual eye health exams even if you feel that your vision has not changed. This is because eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration may not have any recognizable symptoms until a significant amount of irreversible damage has already occurred.
