View MoreWe spoke with eye surgeon Arthur Benjamin about an unusual topic today. Being too immersed in Earthly life, I didn’t even know a solar eclipse was approaching, and many are contemplating viewing this amazing phenomenon with the naked eye.

I have a handful of strange friends who do not take photos. They have to be on vacation to stoop so low, and they may not take them then, either. What’s more – they don’t even take selfies! And it’s hard to imagine them capturing their wife in a magical moment, or their own children. … Continue reading WHAT WE PHOTOGRAPH AND WHY
View MoreYuval Harari, author of the semi-apocalyptic bestseller Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind wrote an article in which he argues what is to be done with the newly-forming, enormous class of excess people.

I don’t think that Arthur Benjamin and his namesake Eye Institute will ever escape perfectionism. This quality, or rather ambition, isn’t always a plus, but in this case it can be welcomed. Why? Because it is his passion to search for, find, and implement best practices – if it’s equipment, it’s the most modern; if … Continue reading Journey to the Website (1)

So, is it a “pseudoexfoliation pseudoinfection”? Maybe not pseudo, because it’s still possible that it’s caused by a virus; we just don’t know. Take, for example, stomach cancer. It is the #1 killer in Japan, so the government requires mandatory testing. But Japanese that have come to the United States are at a much lower … Continue reading Intraocular Pressure: INTERVIEW with ARTHUR BENJAMIN (part 2)

Why do some experience intraocular pressure while others do not? Why the injustice? Everyone has and needs intraocular pressure. But while everyone is concerned with having higher-than-normal pressure, lower-than-normal levels are just as bad – the eye can’t keep its shape and there isn’t enough fluid to nourish the internal organs.
