Manhattan Eye

#streetart in #NYC summertime is here and eyes are everywhere! Make sure to use allergy drops this season - it’s a horrible allergy season for eyes!

A little ophthalmology humor for y’all

It was fun talking to #Allure about eye glasses. While I love doing surgery and helping patients get rid of their glasses, many people still need glasses and it is so important to have not just the right prescription but the right fit overall. A great optician makes all the difference. Check out #morgenthalfrederics for the Creme de la creme of opticianry. .

Love having the latest technology available for my patients- #johnsonandjohnson #eyhance #intraocularlens is the perfect option for patients who are not good candidates for extended depth of field lenses but still want more intermediate vision than a standard monofocal. . . . #2020vision #perfectoutcome #cataractsurgery #intraocularlens

Interesting article in the Times today on myopia (nearsightedness) being on the rise in kids. Important to have all the kiddos checked out early on! . . . https://www.nytimes.com//nearsightedness-myopia-children.h

LASIK day is my favorite day! I love improving the quality of lives of my patients and there is no better improvement than not needing the hassle of contact lenses and glasses. So many of my patients tell me that the are so fed up with their glasses fogging up from their masks and are ready to take the step to becoming glasses free. Call or head to our website to book an appointment! . . . #LASIK #PRK #lasercorrectionsurgery #lasercorrectivesurgery #glassesfree #selfimprovement #selfcare

Great read in Bloomberg about what I already knew- LASIK is on the rise! Patients are very frustrated by foggy glasses from their masks, and are using their saved travel/ entertainment fund on health/ self-improvement instead. Make an appointment for a LASIK consultation today!

A delayed post of a contribution to Millie magazine regarding other glasses options. Many startups are looking into the space to provide remote glasses precautions with variable success. In person measurements are still more accurate but online can provide a quick fix if needed! . . . #glasses #telemedicine #telehealth #millie #milliemagazine #prescriptionglasses

I love seeing eyes in nature! Hope everyone is getting out of the city and enjoying some much needed time outdoors!

Read about the precautions Manhattan Eye and other doctors offices are taking to create a safe environment for patients who are physically coming in. These measures including limiting appointments, temperature checks, limited waiting rooms, and relentless cleaning. We are here to make your experience as safe as possible! @ New York, New York

#Repost @aaoeye with @get_repost This is a rubber bullet, after it was removed from an eye. This patient’s eye had to be removed, too. (photo credit: Elizabeth Chiang, MD) Tear gasses and rubber bullets may be non-lethal, but they can blind. This week, these tactics blinded at least two Americans and caused serious eye injuries in many others.... The Academy condemns the use of tear gasses and rubber bullets. Eye protection may help prevent injury from rubber bullets, projectiles, and gasses, but they do NOT give 100 percent protection. If injured by a rubber bullet: - Do not touch the eye - Do not rub the eye - Stay upright - Place a hard shield around eye. Even a temporary eye shield, such as paper cup or Styrofoam cup, may work in an emergency - Seek emergency room and ophthalmology consultation immediately Tear gases typically don’t cause irreversible eye injuries, but tear gases have caused serious eye injuries. If exposed to tear gas, you should: - Remove yourself from the contaminated area as quickly and safely as possible. - Remove clothing near the face. - Seek fresh air. - Seek higher ground (aerosolized tear gases are heavier than air). - Blink frequently (to promote tearing). - Do not rub eyes (may spread crystals within ocular surfaces). - Remove contact lenses. - Flush the eyes with lots of clean water. Seek emergency ophthalmic evaluation. If exposed to pepper spray: - Don’t touch the eye area; touching the spreads the oil - Flush the eyes with lots of clean water. - Wash the skin around the eyes with baby shampoo Second image: Pepper spray injury to the cornea, the clear outer layer at the front of the eye. (Epstein RJ and Majmudar PA, Ophthalmology) Third image shows blood in the front part of the eye (Bryan Thiel, Moran CORE) Last image is a rubber bullet near a ruptured globe (Lavy, T., Asleh, S.

We are so excited to re-open Manhattan Eye’s doors once again. It has been a long break and we miss seeing out patients.

Give us a call and we will figure out a plan that works best for you. . Looking forward to seeing you soon! - Dr. Rapoport and Anna

Thank you @ralladesign for sending this cool image along! Remember- any contacts, either for vision correction or cosmesis should be prescribed by a doctor and not purchased over the counter to avoid infection. . #Repost @sarashakeel with @get_repost God I love my Job!
