The clamor around the solar eclipse has finally subsided. I hope that our earlier conversation with Arthur Benjamin on this important issue saved someone from retinal burns. Now we can return to peaceful topics and talk about more prosaic things like sties, the mysterious“20/20”, the iStent, our devoted enemy (diabetes), and good mood. … Continue reading AFTER THE ECLIPSE (1)
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. It seems like there’s nothing dangerous about it, since the sun isn’t visible, but is it … Continue reading SOLAR ECLIPSE: DON’T LOOK AT IT

Part 1 “So what about Raindrops, which are supposed to relieve presbyopia? Are they put in both eyes at once?” No, only in the non-dominant eye. The implant has the same transparency as a human tear, so it doesn’t limit the amount of light reaching the retina. It helps change the shape of the … Continue reading Raindrops, Floaters, and Other Things: Answers to Questions (part 2)

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 How Dr. Benjamin came to be in Practice

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. Higher pressures lead … Continue reading ABOUT intraocular pressure: INTERVIEW with ARTHUR BENJAMIN (1)

So what is this revolutionary technology, again? Regular multifocal lenses are diffractive. Loosely speaking, 40% of the light is for viewing far objects, 40% is for near, and 20% is lost along with contrast. Conventional multifocal lenses are actually bifocal, because they are good both near and far but are problematic with mid-distances – the … Continue reading INTERVIEW WITH ARTHUR BENJAMIN: A Symfony for your eyes (part 2)

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?

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.
