Smithtown, NY (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

North Shore Eye Care, a leader in quality vision care, will open a second treatment facility in Riverhead, New York, in an effort to provide sophisticated laser vision treatment to more potential patients and increase convenience for current patients.

The Riverhead location, which is the result of a merger with Hampton Eye, will be a full-service eye care facility, providing general eye care, LASIK, laser vision correction, glaucoma treatment, and more.

?With a second location in Riverhead, we can?t wait to be able to deliver the same quality of eye care to the east end of Long Island that we have delivered to the Smithtown area for so many years,? Dr. Jeffrey Martin said.

The Riverhead location is the brainchild of Drs. Jeffrey Martin of North Shore Eye Care and Paul Choinski of Hampton Eye. Both practices are revered as leading ophthalmology centers in the Long Island area, and have now joined together to provide superior care to Eastern Long Island. The new location will increase North Shore Eye Care?s outreach in the community, enabling them to conveniently serve the towns of Manorville, Ridge, Shoreham, Moriches, Calverton, Shirley, and the two forks.

In addition to expanding the presence of the practice in the community, the opening of the new location allows North Shore Eye Care to welcome Dr. Grace O?Malley and leading glaucoma specialist Dr. Sonya Dhar to its team of experienced professionals. These additions will reinforce the reputation of North Shore Eye Care as one of the nation?s most advanced eye surgery centers.

?North Shore Eye Care has always maintained a reputation of excellence and state-of-the-art care, and we look forward to continuing that tradition,? Dr. Jeffrey Martin said.

The Riverhead office will be located at 54 Commerce Ave. and will feature a full range of treatment options including LASIK, glaucoma care, dry eye, cataract treatment, and more.

North Shore Eye Care was established 50 years ago by Dr. Sidney Martin and is regarded as one of the nation?s leading vision care centers. The practice is the official LASIK provider of the New York Mets, and the official eye care provider of the New York Islanders. Their physicians have consistently been named as Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area by Castle Connolly, an independent medical research firm.

North Shore Eye Care serves communities throughout Long Island, including both Suffolk and Nassau Counties.

As a minimum legal requirement to ensure safe driving, drivers should display visual acuity of 20/40 with or without corrective lenses. Restrictions generally apply to those with acuity between 20/41 and 20/70, limiting them to driving in daylight hours only.

A 120 degree wide field of view is the minimum legal requirement for peripheral vision in order to qualify for a license without restrictions (in some states the threshold is higher at 140 degrees). This is with or without corrective lenses.

If you are a wearer of telescopic lenses, a useful driving aid for sufferers of diminished visual acuity whose peripheral vision remains virtually intact, you will be subject to special requirements and additional testing.

Telescopic lens wearers must include the ability to locate stationary and moving objects within the telescopic field, and the ability to adjust successfully to changes in light levels, especially during inclement weather. Excessive contrast and glare sensitivity also compromises safe driving.

As a responsible driver, then, you should be aware of breaking the law if you fail to meet these visual standards every time you switch on your engine. In particular, if you do need to wear corrective lenses to meet the driving visual standard, it is vital you wear them at all times. It is a good idea to keep a spare pair of glasses in the auto so that you are never tempted to drive illegally without them.

Let’s now look more closely at drivers’ eyewaer as this aspect of vision care contributes significantly to safe driving. Here are some important guidelines:

]]>

* The current fashion is for narrower, thin-rimmed or rimless glasses. These are ideal for driving as they allow maximum peripheral vision (They are not so good, however, for cutting out the glare of reflected ultraviolet rays from snow and sand).

* At a reasonable cost, anti-reflective coatings can be applied to any lenses helping to reduce glare and enhance nighttime vision.

* Glasses with plastic lenses are safer and lighter. A plastic bridge helps cushion the nose if wearing metal frames.

* Keep a lens cloth in your auto along with your spare pair of glasses. Glasses and contact lenses should be kept scrupulously clean to ensure a clear field of vision.

* Wearers of contact lenses, and sufferers from hay fever, should also keep a spare pair of glasses in the auto. Switching to a pair of glasses when travelling long distances offers some respite for tired, watery eyes.

* If you need to wear prescription glasses to drive, never replace them with non-prescription sunglasses. It is illegal and does not make for safe driving. Instead, buy a pair of prescription sunglasses, or use clip-on lenses over your prescription lenses. A cautionary note: You should make sure that your clip-on lenses are suitable for plastic lenses.

* In adverse weather conditions where visability is poor, such as heavy rain or snow, never wear tinted glasses. This rule is equally applicable to tinted motorbike helmets.

Safe driving also means “vision care” or essential checks for your auto. Don’t restrict your view by putting non-essential stickers on the windows of your vehicle, or hanging objects such as dolls or dice where they might prove a distraction.

Keep your windscreen clean and free from scratches, and your lights adjusted to provide good illumination without causing glare. Protect your eyes from the glare of other vehicles by looking slightly to the left of oncoming traffic at night. Temporary blindness caused by glare can be particularly dangerous.

Safe driving means showing continuing responsibility. As we have seen, restrictions can apply to drivers where vision is impaired from cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes or any other relevant medical conditions which constitute a notifiable disability.

There are two key points to note here. First, if you are involved in an accident and are subsequently found to have an undeclared visual impairment, your insurance cover could be at risk.

Secondly, and more reassuringly, having a notifiable visual impairment does not automatically preclude your being allowed to drive. Limited-period licenses, issued to keep a regular check on your condition, and licenses restricting driving to daytime only, should be viewed as the ultimate safeguard of both vision care and safe driving.

When we were children we all loved to play. We loved to ride our bicycles and were constantly playing with toy cars or dolls. Most children enjoy active pastimes and sports of all sorts such as soccer, softball and basketball. If, however, a child suffers from one of the many eye conditions they cannot always fully enjoy these types of activities. It is therefore vitally important that we, as parents, monitor our children’s vision from an early age so that we can detect any eye condition that may affect them in the long term.

Eye Examinations Before Learning Begins

The American Optometric Association suggests that young children have a comprehensive vision examination when they are six-months-old, this should be followed up when they reach three-years-of age and again when they are five-years old. In particular, children should receive a thorough eye examination during the summer before starting kindergarten. After testing is completed, an expert will review the data and then write a comprehensive report. Children’s vision care examinations can reveal that children suffer from one of several types of eye conditions.

These common eye conditions include conjunctivitis or “pink eye” which is an infection that involves the eye’s outermost layer. It includes three types of condition (namely allergic, bacterial and viral), each of which require unique types of treatment. With the exception of the allergic variety, this disease is generally extremely contagious.

]]>

Another common condition that young children are prone to is crossed eyes (also referred to as wandering eye or wall eye), which is an eye condition that can be readily detected through regular children’s vision care and examination. This condition affects approximately 4% of American children. This visual defect causes both eyes to point in different directions. For example, one eye may look straight ahead, while the other looks either up, down, in or out. Accordingly sufferers of this condition experience eyes that cannot see as a single unit, and cannot see in a three dimensional form. Children with this condition should receive professional vision therapy as early as possible.

Thirdly, slightly more than 10% of the entire U.S. population suffers from Binocular Vision Impairment, which can be detected via children’s vision care. It causes the two eyes to not function collectively and as a consequence the child will experience a partial or complete inability to function simultaneously. People who suffer from this condition are not be able to view and gauge depths nor are they able to see in three dimensions.

Finally, Amblyopia (or lazy eye) is a visual impairment that regular children’s vision care and examination can also readily detect. This condition affects roughly 2-3% of children in the U.S. and is as a result of poor control of muscles in a single eye, or reduced visual clarity. Children with this eye problem often develop problems relating to depth perception, and seeing in three dimensions. It is very important that this visual problem be detected early, as visual therapy can have a positive impact on it.

Vision Problems Can Affect Learning

Further, it is vitally important to detect if your child has learning-related visual problems as soon as possible. If you think that your child is experiencing difficulties in this regard then spend some time observing your child to determine if he:

* Blinks, squints or rubs his eyes constantly after doing close visual work

* Complains about cloudy vision after reading or schoolwork

* Holds objects extremely close to his face so as to see clearly

* Has difficulty differentiating left from right, tying shoelaces, or catching a ball

* Complains of eyestrain or regular headaches

* Experiences low reading compression

* Avoids reading

* Complains of being exhausted after reading

* Periodically reverses letters or words

Childhood is a fun and wonderful time which should be one of the best time of a person’s life. Take the time to ensure that your children’s vision care is a part of your family’s health routine. By taking precautionary steps early in their lives the optometric experts can determine if your child has vision problems and then subsequently introduce the appropriate treatment. Keep your children’s eyes healthy and let them focus their attention on having fun and living life to the fullest.

Generally speaking, Eye Vision Care Insurance is supplementary to regular health insurance. Most health insurances that are available today are tailored to cover almost everything with regards general health. However, there may be limitations. Having vision service plan can address those limitations.

Accurate vision is essential to having good quality of life. It is valuable to our daily living. Caring for our eyes, therefore, is a necessity. But, getting good eye care and treatment can be very costly. Nevertheless, having vision insurance plans protects you from the risks of eye deterioration arising from lapses in appropriate eye care.

Eye Vision care insurance covers treatments and eye care services relevant to the eye. Relative to the eye med insurance companies, caring for the vision may include annual eye exams, provision of eye glasses [with yearly limitations], contact lenses [also with yearly limitations], Cataract and Glaucoma test.

Regular annual eye exams are an effective method to maintain the good health of your eyes. They also discern the condition of the optic nerve and its other veins relevant to good vision. Should they need immediate attention, there is no worry when you have vision service plan.

Some companies invest in the vision care of their employees especially those who work in the industry of Aviation, IT, Writing and Education, Illustrations, Arts and Designs. If your work puts your vision at high risks and your company does not have independent eye vision care insurance, availing them is worthy of investment.

If you are a type of person who wears eye glasses or contact lens, you understand how costly it can be to have regular visit to the optometrist for adjustment and production of new contact lens and eye lens. There are vision plans that specifically cover such services. And these are the vision care plans that they buy.

Furthermore, if you have a family history of an ailing eye or weak vision, it would be more beneficial on your part to obtain vision plan. Comprehensive vision service plan may issue reimbursement for expenses made when circumstances call for home nursing and home therapy visits.

There are also people who are naturally born with lazy eye. Such eye condition moves the ophthalmologist to prescribe long term treatment with physical therapist and endless visits to his clinic. To accomplish all these without eye vision care insurance will always empty your wallet.

The good thing about vision insurance today is its flexibility when it comes to delivering their services. To immediately and efficiently tend to the need of policy holders, Insurance companies maintain a network of vision care specialists who hold clinic in different States, Cities, County and Community of America.

Some companies enter an agreement with their employees to ensure eye vision care insurance. They may cover the biggest amount of the premium. Sometimes the companies pay as high as 70% of the total premium and allow the remaining cost to be deducted from employee’s salary or in other arrangements.

If you are unemployed or for some reasons, your employer does not provide additional vision service plan, obtaining eye vision care insurance at reasonable premiums is possible. The premiums vary according to the services you would like the insurance company to cover for you. Mostly, it can cost you a year.
