Keep your eyes open, we are getting close to the main part. Or have you completely lost the habit of focusing on anything else except pictures? … Continue reading THE GIFT OF SIGHT

ALL IS VANITY AND A CHASING AFTER WIND Obesity occurs not only due to gluttony, but also because of your microbiota; that is, the gang of bacteria living inside you. Israeli scientists have shown that every organism reacts to the same food in its own way, even if it’s healthy food. Therefore, don’t be so … Continue reading Don’t Blame Yourself

We have surrounded ourselves with gadgets and services, and they surround us. Modern man spends his life in front of a monitor. We come across a link on Facebook and start to read some left-leaning (or right-leaning) article, but then to the side we see a more enticing title. “Why don’t we take a look?” … Continue reading And you congratulated Josipovic?

“There are more universities, Horatio…” We read daily about breakthroughs (usually about cancer) made at notable universities. But sometimes the universities get it wrong. Northumbria University, for example, has suffered real damages. The university almost lost two students who were given a dose of caffeine equivalent to 300 cups of coffee.

Many believe that Lasik is more dangerous than contact lenses. It’s actually the opposite.

It’s better to use a warm compress, remove your makeup every night, … Continue reading Separating Fact from Fiction, part 2

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 (1)

Point out a man from the past, peacefully living in 1995, a picture of a bright future (that is, our present-day), and he would decide that we’re all schizophrenics. On the streets of our cities people walk along and talk loudly to themselves. Sometimes it’s deafening, as if they’re trying to show everyone how supposedly … Continue reading What Are You Talking to Yourself About?

A friend of mine recently visited Benjamin Eye Institute on account of having big floaters in his eyes, which had dramatically increased in number. 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

Can you imagine having a heart-to-heart with your toothbrush? Just like Philip K. Dick’s story: the character doesn’t pay rent, so the door to the apartment doesn’t want to open until he pays. Then the character starts to make trouble and bargain with the door, because it can talk. Or as they would say today, … Continue reading YOUR COMB IS A SPY

If you're thinking about LASIK surgery, don't even look further. Dr. Benjamin is the absolute best!! Couldn't be happier with his services.
Dr. Benjamin was so friendly that I can't wait until my next appointment! I DEFINITELY recommend him to anybody looking for a great ophthalmologist!
Wow, what a huge difference a short 15 minutes makes! Having spent so much of my life helpless without my glasses and inconvenienced by an expensive contacts routine -- suddenly I could see, and with minimal down-time.
