Everyone knows that Jorge Luis Borges was blind. A smaller number of people, though, also know that by the time he went blind, he had mastered the world of literature and philosophy, which are relevant to his fiction. But almost no one knows why he went blind, except for the experts. Searching the internet for … Continue reading WHY HE WAS BLIND?

Many believe that Lasik is more dangerous than contact lenses. It’s actually the opposite. Contacts are much more dangerous – they can cause eye infections and dryness, and sooner or later everyone who wears contacts will have these problems, which can potentially translate into a loss of vision. Lasik, on the other hand, is … Continue reading Vision – Separating Fact from Fiction (3)

Do poor-quality cosmetics affect vision, or leaving it on overnight? It’s about the same as never changing your underwear. Makeup can clog the small glands that are responsible for the irrigation of the eyes, and it creates an environment for bacteria. It’s better to use a warm compress, remove your makeup every night, … Continue reading Vision – Separating Fact from Fiction (2)
View More I googled a basketful of folk tales about ophthalmology and took them to eye surgeon Arthur Benjamin. Some were debunked, but some were confirmed. “The results from laser correction surgery don’t meet expectation. Doctors would never perform Lasik on their own eyes”. Laser vision correction is an operation that doctors willingly perform on themselves (I … Continue reading Vision – Separating Fact from Fiction

As a result, he learned that he not only had problems with his retinas, as I suspected, but with diabetes as well. On this and other topics, we met with eye … Continue reading Open Your Eyes to Ophthalmology

It all started with the blackboard in school. I was sitting in the last row of desks with all kinds of social outcasts – the losers, underachievers, and hooligans – when I suddenly realized that I couldn’t see what was written on the board. If it was written in caps (usually it was news like … Continue reading The memoirs of a former near-sighted person
View More Today, we have an atypical topic of conversation – why must we wait at the doctor’s office? First, we wait in a common room. Then we’re assigned to another, they quickly do something, and again we wait and wait and wait. Now, Arthur Benjamin will lift the veil of secrecy. Let’s look at a … Continue reading BEI: WHY DOES IT TAKE SO “LONG”?
View MoreAmong the general population, there’s a popular opinion that the constant wearing of glasses can exacerbate already-poor eyesight. Is there any truth to this? They don’t think that everywhere, but in one African country, 64% of students believe that glasses are harmful to vision, in Pakistan 70%, and in Brazil even health … Continue reading Bad Genes, Glasses, and a Telescope in the Eyes (2)

I have had dry eyes for a quite sometime and had seen several physicians and got eye drops etc but not until I have seen Dr. Benjamin I found how serious problem that it was. I had the most thorough and individual attention by Dr. Benjamin. He explained to me my problem and treatment options available. Dr. Benjamin and His staff are very caring and they spend as much time with you as needed and one feels taken care of. I was given state of the art treatment for my dry eyes and my eyes went from feeling tired , red , scratchy and itchy to brilliantly glowing clear. Office is very serene and staff is attentive, pleasant and smiling. Dr. Benjamin is very down to earth and explains thoroughly that one understands what alis them. I will definitely keep coming back for all my eye issues.
I wish I had come to Dr. Benjamin years ago!!!
I have been hopping around between 3 eye doctors in the last few years complaining of severe eye pain, redness - so bad I haven't been able to wear contacts for a year. Every other doctor made a diagnosis in 2 minutes, prescribed a few things and sent me on my way. Nothing helped and the doctors kept saying my eyes looked fine despite my symptoms. Finally I saw Dr. Benjamin, and he listened to my concerns from top to bottom and did tests the other doctors never did! He made a brand new diagnosis which finally makes sense and fits my symptoms. He spent almost an hour with me which is unbelievable. I am so impressed with this place, even the front desk and other staff were so friendly. I'm so relieved and am looking forward to making a recovery with Dr. Benjamin and eventually getting LASIK.
Life is beautiful. See it clearly.
