Anti-Reflective Lenses

 ,

Anti-reflective eyeglass lenses have a glare coating that is applied directly over the lens.  It may be applied to any prescription lens and offers several benefits.  Among them, they allow you to see better and to look better.

The Clear Benefits of Anti-Reflective Lenses

Distracting reflections and glare can rob your eyes of up to 14% of available light. Anti-Reflective lenses allow virtually all the available lightto pass through your lenses for sharper, clearer, more comfortable vision. By reducing oncoming glare, anti-reflective lenses allow you to see more clearly at night, especially when driving. Recent tests prove that patients are able to see more clearly with Anti-Reflective lenses,especially at night.

Reduce Eye Strain

Spending long hours at a computer screen, whether at work or play, can dramatically contribute to eye fatigue. In the office where fluorescent light and computer monitors are especially troublesome, the lenses also help to eliminate annoying reflections thereby reducing eye strain and providing sharper, clearer, and more comfortable vision.

Let People See Less Lens And More Of You

Now you can eliminate annoying reflections on the surface of your lenses. Anti-Reflective lenses allow you to see better and look better,while enhancing your ability to communicate with others. The new generation of Anti-Reflection lenses are easier to clean than ever before.

Happy New Year from Dr. Daniel Yamamoto, Dr. Tracie Inouchi and Staff.

New Year’s is an exciting time of year. It is a time for change and for an optimistic outlook on the rest of the year. It is also the time of year that people traditionally make New Year’s resolutions to start the year off well.

Here are some tips that you can start doing right now to help keep those eyes healthy :

  • Eat your way to healthier eyes: Did you know that there are five essential nutrients that help promote healthy vision and may reduce the risk of eye disease? Getting those nutrients by eating things such as leafy greens, nuts, and shellfish can protect those eyes of yours. Certain studies have shown that taking an antioxidant or vitamin supplement can reduce the risk of advanced AMD progression and visual acuity loss
  • Wear Sunglasses Outdoors: Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Make sure you protect your eyes even on cloudy days. Not only does too much UV exposure increase your risk for cataracts and macular degeneration.
  • If you smoke: Stop smoking. Nothing needs to be explained.
  • Wear Protective Goggles: When playing sports, working around heavy machinery or in an area with a lot of particles in the air, you need protective goggles and/or sports lenses. Your eyes are among one of the most vulnerable spots on your entire body. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Wear protective goggles any time your eyes might be at risk.
  • Get an annual eye exam: Getting a basic eye exam can reveal some more serious diseases that may affect more than just your vision. An exam with your eye doctor can potentially uncover hidden medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and infections

Happy Kamehameha Day

 

Today our office will be closed to celebrate the King Kamehameha Day Holiday.

Kamehameha Day on June 11 is a public holiday of the state of Hawaii in the United States. It honors Kamehameha the Great, the monarch who first established the unified Kingdom of Hawaiʻi — comprising the Hawaiian Islands of Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui and Hawaiʻi. While he was king, Hawaii was a center of the fur and sandalwood trade. Pineapples were brought to Hawaii from Spain in 1813 and coffee was first planted in 1818, a year before he died. In 1883 a statue of King Kamehameha I was dedicated in Honolulu by King David Kalākaua (this was a duplicate, because the original statue was temporarily lost at sea). There is another duplicate of this statue in Emancipation Hall at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C.

What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a vision disorder in which the cornea is irregularly shaped thereby preventing light from being properly focused on the back of the eye.  This results in distortion or blurry vision and may be corrected by eyeglasses or contact lenses.

No More Cleaning

Daily disposable contacts are perfect for patients who don’t like to clean their lenses.  You simply throw them away at the end of the day and put on a fresh pair in the morning.

“I only wear my contacts on the weekends.”

Daily disposable contact lenses are ideal for patients who seldom wear their contacts, whether it be only on the weekends or when participating in a sporting activity.  Rather than having them sit in a contact lens case for days at a time, daily disposable contact lenses offer the benefit of throwing them away after every use.

Don’t They Cost More?

Many patients, while understanding the advantages of daily disposable lenses, are concerned about the higher cost of these contacts.  In reality, when factoring in the cost of contact lens solutions, re-wetting drops, and contact lens cases, the price difference is fairly minimal.
