Encephalitis in India

Seasonal encephalitis has led to 38 deaths so far from this in 2013 – this number will rise as the monsoon weather approaches and there are more mosquitoes. Although not all cases are caused by Japanese encephalitis, travellers can be vaccinated against this strain of encephailitis, which is a most serious disease. Japanese encephalitis is endemic in all countries of the southern and south-east Asia. Travellers should also make sure they sleep under nets, and ‘cover up’ when outside in the hours of dusk & darkness. A good insect repellent should be used on exposed areas of shin.

Laugh More

I remember reading some years ago that children laugh somewhere around 300 – 400 times a day.  In the same article it said that adults laugh as little as 15 times a day.  Wow, that is a huge difference.  To me it is sad statement that as we grow older we “lose” (or maybe we stifle) our ability to laugh.  Me, I love to laugh.  I don’t think that I am quite up to 300 laughs a day…but I get in about 100 a day.  I believe that laughter is beneficial and extremely healing.  I believe that it can be very therapeutic…not only for yourself, but those around you.

Dr. Richard Schulze said in an interview once that he encouraged his patients to learn 1,000 jokes as part of their healing process.  While you might think this to be a tedious and unneccesary task to learn so many jokes, why not instead think of the laughter his patients got from taking on the assignment.  While learning 1,000 jokes do you think their minds were focused on their illness or on laughter?  I’m guessing that they were focused on laughing. 

In his groundbreaking book, “Anatomy Of An Illness”, Norman Cousins describes how he started watching “The 3 Stooges” on a daily basis to “activate” his sense of humor and “regain” his laugh. 

 
There is power in laughter.  I encourage you to laugh more every day.  I encourage you to make those around you laugh whenever you can.

Yours In Health!

Study Shows ORA Can Improve Toric Lens Outcomes

Eye Consultants of Texas was the first Dallas/Fort Worth practice to use what is now the ORA System – the first intraoperative abberometer technology that provides real-time measurements of the eye during cataract surgery. On January 1, 2014, an Ophthalmology Times online article appeared about a study which showed ORA technology significantly improves refractive and visual outcomes after toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

According to the article, “Intraoperative Aberrometry Adds Value in Toric IOL Surgery”, the study was conducted by Kathryn Hatch, MD and the clinical faculty at Brown Alpert Medical School in Providence, RI. The study compared traditional toric IOL implantation on 27 eyes with toric IOL implantation on 37 eyes where ORA’s intraoperative aberrometer was used.

The article outlines various postoperative measurements taken in the study approximately two months after surgery, stating that 67% of the aberrometry group and 39% of the traditional group achieving “unaided” distance vision of 20/25 or better.

Dr. Hatch was quoted in the article as saying, “We conducted this study because to our knowledge, there is no report in the peer-reviewed literature evaluating the use of intraoperative aberrometry with toric IOLs. Use of intraoperative aberrometry to guide intraoperative decisions improves outcomes.”

Eye Consultants of Texas founder Phillips Kirk Labor, MD is one of the top ORA surgeons in the U.S., and considered a leading IOL innovator. If you’re a cataract patient, or suspect you have cataracts, please call our office at 877-516-4364 to learn more. We’re located in Grapevine, convenient to all of Dallas/Fort Worth.

How to Keep Your Eyes Protected This Summer

With summer rapidly approaching, it’s time to make sure we take the proper precautions.  It’s not only important to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, but our eyes as well.  Since exposure to the sun can be damaging to our eyes, preparation is key in keeping them safe.  So what exactly is the relationship between the sun’s UV rays and our eyes?

Both short-term and long-term sun exposure to the sun can have damaging consequences.  Short-term exposure can cause conditions like photokeratitis, an inflammation of the cornea that can cause eye pain and discomfort — similar to a sunburn.  The effects of long-term sun exposure are much more serious, and can include:

  • Cataracts
  • Macular degeneration
  • Pterygia, or benign tissue growth
  • Skin cancer near the eyes

How to Protect Your Eyes from the Sun

There are some simple, yet important, steps we can take to help protect our eyes from the sun’s damaging rays.  One of the most crucial steps is simply investing in the right pair of sunglasses.  When looking for a pair of sunglasses, it’s important to make sure that they block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays, as these will offer the greatest amount of protection.  Wearing a wide-brimmed hat can also be an effective way to protect your eyes, as they will cover sun that can sneak in through the top or sides of your sunglasses.  Additionally, it’s important to be aware of the sun’s peak times – 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Extra protection is advised during these times, as this is when the sun is the strongest.

It’s also important to remember that just because it’s cloudy outside, doesn’t mean the sun isn’t out.  The sun’s rays can pass through thin clouds, so sunglasses and hats are always important.

Avoiding Computer Vision Syndrome

We all tend to spend a lot of time staring at a computer monitor, whether it’s for school, work, or leisure. We stare at the screen for hours almost every day, which can cause our eyes to inevitably feel strained or dry. The eye problems caused by computer use are categorized together into one condition known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), which affects over 50-90% of office workers.

CVS is a repetitive stress injury, meaning it is caused and worsened by routine motions over time. Some of its symptoms include blurred vision, dryness, redness, double vision, eye irritation, headaches, and neck or back pain. People who already suffer from other eye conditions are more likely to develop CVS, especially if they are not using a proper eye prescription. Many other factors contribute to the development of CVS, such as age and the computer itself—the brightness, angle of the monitor, position in relation to you, etc.

Let’s keep reading to see how we can prevent CVS.

5 Ways to Avoid Computer Vision Syndrome

  1. Reposition the computer. The screen should be facing you, not off to the side where you have to strain your eyes more to see it. The monitor should be between 4-8 inches under your eyes to keep the neck relaxed, and should be kept an arms length away from you.
  2. Blink. Blinking frequently should help you reduce dryness in your eyes. Another option for increasing moisture is the use of lubricating eye drops or a humidifier. Steer away from air vents, as those can help to further dry out the eye.
  3. Lighting. The lighting might be hurting your eyes as well. To check whether it is playing a part in your eye strain, cup your hands over your eyes like the cap of a baseball hat and observe whether your eyes feel better or not. If they do, you know you have to adjust the lighting to something more comfortable.
  4. Breaks. About every 15 minute while on the computer, you should take a small break and look anywhere but the screen. You can stand, stretch, or just stay in your seat looking away to give your eyes a good break.
  5. Regular check-ups. You may need a new or different prescription without even knowing it. Although you should get regular eye doctor visits anyway, your medical professional can help you prevent and treat CVS and many other harmful eye conditions.

The importance of pre-surgery testing

Achieving optimal eye surgery results can often come down to identifying the tiniest detail, which can mean a greater improvement in a LASIK or cataract patient’s vision. This is why Eye Consultants of Texas performs some of the most extensive patient testing in Dallas/Fort Worth, using the most advanced technology available.

Here are some examples of the type of pre-surgery tests we perform:

• To evaluate the surface and curvature of the cornea.
• To determine the power of an intraocular lens implant (IOL).
• To determine the precision of IOL measurements.
• To determine if macular degeneration is present.
• For aberrations (abnormalities) in the eye’s lens.
• Visual outcomes analysis.

There are other tests we perform, and which tests are required depends on the patient’s vision problem, health and type of surgery. Testing is individualized for each patient, and we take the time to ensure there are no other conditions that could compromise surgery results, or put our patient at risk.

The bottom line, of course, is to have the most accurate information in order to achieve the clearest vision possible. This means putting the patient’s health and wellbeing first, and going above and beyond in every way. Our pre-surgery testing is no different. To learn more please call us in Grapevine at 877-516-4364, convenient to Dallas/Fort Worth.

Grochmal Eye Center in the News with New Technology

Grochmal Eye Center Adds Hi-Def Cirrus Laser Eye Surgery Technology

The Grochmal Eye Center is a Baltimore LASIK surgery practice, offering complete and comprehensive eyecare for the entire family. Dr. Jay C. Grochmal is announcing the addition of the Cirrus™ HD-OCT by Zeiss, which he says helps him visualize and analyze the status and health of the retina. In particular, the Cirrus™ technology allows him to assess the health of his patients’ eyes prior to performing a number of procedures, including traditional cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange.

The Grochmal Eye Center was founded in 1978, and continues to provide state-of-the-art eye care and laser eye surgery procedures, such as PRK and LASIK in Maryland under the leadership of Dr. Jay C. Grochmal. As part of their commitment to the cutting-edge of ophthalmic technology, Dr. Grochmal is announcing the latest addition to the practice: the Cirrus™ HD-OCT by Zeiss. He says the new technology will help him and his staff diagnose any changes in the macula caused by different diseases, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma. He adds that early detection of these diseases will enable him to start treatment before permanent vision loss occurs.

Zeiss is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies. Founder Carl Zeiss was the first to commercialize the OCT technology, and the first to deliver the high definition 3D maps created by the Cirrus™ HD-OCT. Dr. Grochmal says the new technology not only helps him detect potentially damaging eye conditions, but also helps him improve the overall level of care he can offer his patients. The printouts from the OCT are very helpful, according to Dr. Grochmal, as they aid in educating his patients and help them gain a better understanding of the disease and procedure.

Whether he is performing refractive or cataract surgery, LASIK or PRK, Dr. Grochmal says he and his team tirelessly pursue the latest advancements in eye care and laser eye surgery to ensure their patients receive the best care available. “The advancements in ophthalmology in just the last ten years are astounding; staying on top of these developments is essential to our continued dedication to providing state-of-the art treatment. Our patients deserve only the best, and that is what we constantly strive to offer.”

Diabetes and Your Eye Care

Diabetic eye disease (also called “diabetic retinopathy”) is a serious issue that may end up resulting in a loss of vision.  While not everyone with diabetes will experience poor vision or pain, diabetic eye disease should always be a concern for patients.

Taking control of this issue can help you avoid serious problems- and may even save your eyesight! Here are some things you can do:

It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels several times a day to make certain they remain within their target range.

  4. Make healthy lifestyle choices. In addition to diabetes, other health issues such as high blood pressure levels and high cholesterol may also increase your risk of serious eye disease. Diabetics who smoke cigarettes can also greatly increase their risk of vision loss! Therefore, it is a good idea to exercise on a regular basis, eat healthy foods, and quit smoking. For some patients, medication may also be necessary.

Share Your Ideas: What does total health look like?

This post is part of a campaign to invite feedback and ideas that will help inform the next generation of content for exhibits at the Center for Total Health.

When most people think about health care, they think of a hospital or doctor’s office.  The truth is, total health is about much more than just clinical care. It’s also about living your definition of health, and imagining care anywhere – in the workplace, at school, in the park or at home.

Total health is also about access to care and health resources when you are sick and need them…or when you need to be reminded of them.  It’s been said that less than 20 percent of your health care is actually received in a health care setting.  So, whether it is care received through a health care system or access to health resources online or in the community, a focus on your total health should surround you and be available 24/7.

What does total health look like to you?  How would you want to see a focus on total health represented in how you receive care through your provider, in the community or in the environment that surrounds you?

Some ideas to get you started:

  • Integrated care:  You, your doctor or other health care providers connected through electronic health records
  • Access to care anywhere: Email your doctor, or have access to your care provider via mobile or video chat
  • Increased access to care:  More access increases mammography screening rates, decreases heart disease/attacks, and helps control chronic conditions
  • Day-to-day health:  Being able to live the life you want to, whether that means playing with your kids or climbing mountains, walking around the block or running a marathon
  • Spiritual & Emotional Health:  Feeling supported in your life, being able to look back at each day and know you accomplished the things you’d hoped to do

Tell us what you think in the comments!

Keeping your blood sugar levels lower will help lower your risk for eye disease.
  3. Make sure you report any changes in vision to your doctor. It is very important for diabetics to undergo yearly eye exams. If your vision suddenly becomes hazy or blurry, this is important to mention to your eye doctor, so that any necessary treatment can start.
  4. Make healthy lifestyle choices. In addition to diabetes, other health issues such as high blood pressure levels and high cholesterol may also increase your risk of serious eye disease. Diabetics who smoke cigarettes can also greatly increase their risk of vision loss! Therefore, it is a good idea to exercise on a regular basis, eat healthy foods, and quit smoking. For some patients, medication may also be necessary.
  5. Speak with your doctor. If you need help or advice on how to manage or reduce your risk for diabetic eye disease, your doctor can help you develop a personalized eye care or treatment plan.

Books Feed Your Head

It’s true, books really do, “Feed Your Head”.  In 1991 there was an award winning MTV campaign that promoted reading.  It was a revolutionary, ground breaking, and cutting edge style of mixing literature with a short film.  This was when MTV still contained the word “music” in the logo, Tom Freston was the President and CEO of the network, the influence of Bob Pittman was still around, and it offered up value and creativity to viewers.  Unfortunately it seems those days have passed.

Because of this campaign to promote reading I was introduced to the works of Franz Kafka and more importantly the works of Donald Barthelme.  To me, Donald Barthelme is the master of the short story.  I read almost every single day.  I will admit that there are days when I am on vacation that I might miss the opportunity to read in exchange for the opportunity to explore a new city. 

Many years ago, Jim Rohn (author and personal development trainer) said, “If you read one book every month about your industry, in 10 years you’ll have read 120 books. That will put you in the top one percent of your field.”  Mr. Rohn was 100% correct and he was just talking about the lazy way to do it.  I once heard someone say, “Skip a meal, but never skip the opportunity to read.”  If you just invest 20 – 30 minutes a day in yourself, to read, there isn’t any reason that can’t read at least one book a week.  If you were to read one book a week that would mean at the end of year you would have read 52 books.  At this rate you would be in the top one percent in two years instead of 10. 

For myself, I find that reading in a 80/20 ratio works best for me.  Eighty percent of the books that I read are for knowledge and learning.  Twenty percent of the books that I read are for humor, pleasure, and escapism.  I would personally get bored if all I did was read for learning.  I also need to be entertained when I read. 

Please don’t tell me you don’t have enough time to read.  If you really don’t think that you have the time to read…then I suggest that you at least make the time to read, “The 168 Hour Week” by, Dr. Kevin Hogan.

 

 

You can find the time to read.  You just have to do it.  I truly believe that reading is a great exercise that you can and should do for your brain everyday to keep it healthy and active.  Think of your brain as muscle…exercise it and make it grow.  The dividends that it will pay you can be huge.

If you’re looking for a new author to read or you want to start reading a new genere of books, then I suggest you take a look at the works of Thorne Smith.  You can find out more about Thorne Smith at the blog and and website created by, Michael Walker at   http://www.thornesmithblog.com/

Grab a book and start reading today.  Remember, “Books Feed Your Head”.

Yours In Health!

Baltimore Laser Eye Surgeon Discusses the Future of Advanced Cataract Surgery

Cataract Surgeon in Baltimore Discusses the Future of Advanced Procedures

Baltimore, MD — According to the latest statistics from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), cataracts affect nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and older. However, Dr. Jay C. Grochmal, a LASIK and cataract surgeon in Baltimore, says with the recent advancements in cataract surgery, patients do not have to let blurring vision hinder their daily life. Dr. Grochmal discusses the latest innovations in refractive-cataract surgery and how they can benefit patients looking to improve their vision.

At his Baltimore cataract surgery practice, Dr. Grochmal says the aging baby boomer population has brought an influx of patients needing vision correction for cataracts and other age-related conditions. Cataracts develop as people get older and are exhibited in a clouding and opaqueness of the natural lens inside one’s eye, causing vision to blur. The AAO report also shows that by age 80, more than half of all Americans will have visually significant cataracts. Dr. Grochmal says while cataracts can be a bothersome medical issue, the good news is that advancements in ophthalmology and surgical techniques have made clear vision an affordable and effective option through cataract surgery.

With procedures such as laser refractive cataract surgery on the horizon, Dr. Grochmal says treatment is now ultimately safer than ever before and more successful in helping patients achieve improved vision with less dependence on glasses. He says other innovations have helped create smaller incisions for lens extraction and replacement during cataract surgery, and through technology such as the Zeiss IOL Master, doctors can better measure the power of the intraocular lenses and offer more accurate visual results. “With the safety of cataract surgery improving, patients no longer have to wait for their vision to drastically deteriorate before undergoing cataract surgery. Also, the quality of newer IOL’s are allowing excellent vision after surgery,” says Dr. Grochmal.

Thanks to a diverse arsenal of lenses such as toric and multifocal IOL’s, Dr. Grochmal says patients can now enjoy the benefits of custom treatment for their individual eye condition and lifestyle needs. Whether patients wish to enhance their vision up close or far away or find a balance of clarity in both distance and near vision, he says there is a solution for every patient’s desires. Dr. Grochmal says cataract surgery recovery is now also much quicker and requires less trauma to the function of one’s eye. “With such small incisions now possible and the availability of toric IOL’s, post operative astigmatism can be minimized if not completely corrected,” he says.

Regardless of whether patients are looking for cataract surgery or another vision correction procedure such as LASIK in Baltimore, Dr. Grochmal says the advancements in ophthalmology are making significant strides towards helping people attain perfect, lasting eyesight. He adds that he is excited to see the further development of patient comfort and care and hopes patients continue to take advantage of the benefits that procedures like cataract surgery can offer.

Baltimore Ophthalmologist Provides Premium IOLs That Reduce Or Eliminate Cataract Patients’ Dependency On Glasses

dr jay c grochmal,   lasik in baltimore,   baltimore iols,   cataract surgery ,  ophthalmologist in baltimore

For cataract patients, Dr. Jay C. Grochmal offers a variety of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) that can help patients attain clear vision after surgery without heavy reliance on corrective eyewear.

Baltimore, MD – Dr. Jay C. Grochmal, a Baltimore ophthalmologist, provides comprehensive eye care at his private practice, with procedures including LASIK, glaucoma treatment, and cataract surgery. With traditional cataract surgery, many patients have their natural lens replaced with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) to help them restore clear vision once the cataract has been removed. However, after correcting for near or far distance vision, the monofocal IOL may still require the patient to wear glasses after treatment. At Grochmal Eye Center, Dr. Grochmal offers a variety of advanced, multifocal IOLs as an alternative to monocular lenses, which can significantly reduce the patient’s dependence on eyeglasses or even eliminate the need for glasses altogether. These premium IOLs include:

  • Alcon’s ReStor® multifocal IOL
  • AMO’s Tecnis® multifocal IOL
  • Alcon’s Toric IOL

While standard monocular IOL procedures are often covered by a patient’s health insurance, Dr. Grochmal says there are certain advantages that premium IOLs provide. He highlights that Alcon’s Toric IOL is very successful in correcting even high amounts of astigmatism (a common optical condition that causes blurry vision), and multifocal lenses in general are effective in significantly decreasing one’s dependence on glasses. He says many patients who receive multifocal lenses do not need to wear glasses at all after the procedure.

Grochmal Eye Center now uses the Zeiss IOL Master 500 for premium IOL procedures. The innovative technology of the Zeiss IOL Master 500 allows advanced calculations that measure the IOL power necessary to obtain optimal results for each patient. With this new technology, Dr. Grochmal is able to combine the results of the Zeiss IOL Master with his attention to surgical detail to produce distance vision improved to the point that his patients rarely require glasses afterward.

Multifocal IOLs can also be helpful for patients who do not suffer from cataracts but are looking to reduce their dependence on corrective eyewear. Patients who are not eligible for LASIK or other laser eye surgery procedures often qualify for premium IOLs, which have similar benefits. However, some patients who have already had monofocal IOL surgery may not be ideal candidates for the procedure. According to Dr. Grochmal, once a monofocal IOL is placed within the capsular bag of the eye, it is not safe to replace that IOL unless the exchange is done within a month of the initial surgery.

Dr. Grochmal stresses that multifocal IOLs are best used in healthy eyes that have no other eye diseases present, aside from cataracts.
