Hepatitis does not belong in the category of rare diseases. But a doctor who is accidentally pricked by a needle from an infected patient has a 1 in 100 chance of dying. Conversely, the chances of getting sick from a needle infected with HIV is one in a million. So it turns out that hepatitis … Continue reading RARE DISEASES – WHO SHOULD PAY? (3)

There is no treatment, right? There’s nothing we can do about that. Just old age. It turns out there is! A few years ago, they developed a smart machine with a special actuator that warms the inside and outside of the eyelids with a stream of hot air. It only heats the eyelid and not … Continue reading THE MILLION DOLLAR TREATMENT (part 2)

View More Ophthalmology: minimal yet phenomenal changes – it’s a revolution. -“I can see at a distance, but that’s all,” says the patient, a retiree. Or it’s the opposite. “I have multifocal lenses. I can see up close and at a distance, but the halos are doing a number on me. I know that 2% of people … Continue reading OPHTHALMOLOGY ON THE VERGE OF A REVOLUTION-2

What are toric lenses? Let’s start with astigmatism. Many are afraid of the word, but in principle it’s a natural phenomenon. The cornea isn’t spherical but aspheric. This is natural in the sense that nothing is perfect. With astigmatism, the cornea has the shape of a watermelon or a football. Astigmatism is regular and irregular, and … Continue reading TORIC LENSES: WHAT’S THE ATTRACTION?

60-70 years ago, when people didn’t live as long, diagnoses of glaucoma were not that common. It’s because glaucoma is a cunning disease. The eyes don’t hurt, and loss of vision doesn’t come for a long time. In case you’ve forgotten, glaucoma is neuropathy of the optic nerve that results in atrophy and fiber loss. … Continue reading GLAUCOMA AS IT IS: WHAT IF THERE’S NO DAMAGE YET?

Before describing these new contact lenses, let’s talk about how things were before. More precisely, though, it isn’t really “before”. These things are still on the market. To heal cuts and other wounds, doctors apply a bandage. But how does this relate to the eye? When the cornea is damaged, they use a bioplastic that … Continue reading REVOUTIONARY CONTACT LENSES FOR THE TREATMENT OF TRAUMA

Because of things like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which lead to blindness, especially in its “wet” form. It’s worse than a wet handshake.

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.
