We spoke with Dr. Benjamin today about a new method for treating dry eyes. However, as usual, we touch on other topics, as well. Even Avicenna. I have a bit of dust in my eye, but before you take a look let’s talk. I heard a rumor that you’ve got some new stuff? I’ll look … Continue reading THE FOUR OF US – YOU, ME, DISEASE, AND INSURANCE

Today, I’d like to touch on a topic far from the realm of science. I don’t like to brag, but I often hear from patients, “Doctor, your employees always smiling, warm-hearted, and at the same time very knowledgeable. What’s the secret?” I answer that even the most pristine office, without the right people, is just … Continue reading ARTHUR BENJAMIN – DISCOVERING ONE SECRET

“Dim lighting” sounds safe and friendly but it’s not the best, even while asleep. That’s to say nothing of bright light, of course. The best is to strive for total darkness, however impossible that may be. One way or another, light always finds a way into your bedroom. In hospitals, for example, the bright light is … Continue reading EVEN DIM LIGHTING IS BAD AT NIGHT

Cataracts and fruits and vegetables. How are they related? Although an obvious one, it isn’t a direct connection. Did you know that the global medical bill for cataract procedures is 5.7 billion dollars? That figure could be cut in half, though, with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Australian and Chinese scientists published the … Continue reading PHOTOGENIC FRUIT VS CATARACTS

Injuries to the cornea are not uncommon. What is usually done about it? There’s a surgical corneal transplant, but the procedure is risky. There are also some biocompatibility problems with synthetic adhesives, and they themselves can cause vision loss. But now there’s good news. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have developed a gel that … Continue reading A GEL LAYER FOR THE CORNEA

A virtual doctor is not what you think. It isn’t a stranger that gives advice online; it’s a live physician that examines you, although not in-person. There is a medical station created by OnMed that’s a service point for anyone (with the money or insurance) to receive professional advice in real time. But there’s more … Continue reading GOING TO THE VIRTUAL DOCTOR

The alien in the movie Predator could see at night, in infrared light. Now, earthly creatures have learned how to do so. They don’t need glasses or night-vision goggles, either; it requires nothing at all! You just apply a layer of nanoparticles to the retina, and this allows receptors to respond to infrared radiation. The … Continue reading DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE DARK?

Birds boast an eyesight that is much better than even our 20/20. It exceeds ours by several times. The Swedes have now created a camera with a “bird’s eye” setting that mimics this. In addition to red, green, and blue, a bird’s retina contains UV-sensitive receptors. Therefore, their world is not the same as ours. … Continue reading to see the world the way birds do

It seems like everyone these days is talking about Lipiflow. Could you say a few words about these new medical developments, and then go into details? The new movement in medicine is not only to cure, but to prevent. If you look at humanity from a bird’s eye point of view, our life expectancy continues … Continue reading A RENAISSANCE FOR THE EYES – LIPIFLOW

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.
