    Snead Eye Group’s Dr. Rosen Shares Vision with Lighthouse of SWFL

    In the words of Helen Keller, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” Thankfully, the leadership team of The Lighthouse of SWFL has the vision required to understand and meet the many needs of southwest Florida’s blind and sight-impaired residents; Snead Eye Group shares and actively supports that vision as well.

    Lighthouse of SWFL is a United Way Partner agency with a mission to enable people of all ages living with a visual impairment or blindness to remain independent, active and productive in society. Snead Eye Group’s Dr. Jay S. Rosen, OD, FAAO, demonstrates his commitment to that mission by serving on the Board of Directors of The Lighthouse of SWFL in the capacity of Director.

    Dr. Rosen has been an active member and integral part of Lighthouse’s Board of Directors since September, 2011; he was enthusiastically recommended by Read More

    February is AMD/LOW Vision Awareness Month!

    awarenessAge-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 15 million Americans age 50 and older.

    AMD primarily destroys the sharp central vision controlled at the back of the retina by the macula and can develop so slowly that it is not until vision is severely affected that a patient may begin to notice. Try this to get an idea of what AMD is like: Close your left eye. Make a fist with your right hand. Put your fist in front of your right eye. All you will see are objects in the periphery of your sight. This is how someone affected by AMD may see the world. Sharp central vision is obviously needed to read, drive, watch television and perform other daily tasks that require straight ahead vision.

    Risk factors, which you can control, include High blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and smoking. Risks you cannot control include age, family history, gender and race.

    How do you know if you may be affected by AMD? Symptoms include straight lines or faces appearing wavy, doorways which appear crooked and objects appearing smaller or farther away than they really are.

    If you or someone you know thinks they may be experiencing any of these issues, it is vitally important to see a SNEAD EYE GROUP professional for an evaluation and diagnosis. Drug therapies, injection, laser therapy, and even tiny, implantable devices which magnify images onto the retina, are all possible treatments for AMD. It is important see a knowledgeable ophthalmologist such as Dr. John or Dr. Brad Snead at SNEAD EYE GROUP to discuss your options.

  • Digital Eye Strain

    Digital Eye Strain

    [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.14.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

    The Vision Council’s 2016 report, Eyes Overexposed: The Digital Device Dilemma, concludes that 65 percent of Americans experience digital eye strain symptoms such as dry, irritated eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue, neck and back pain and headaches.

    Digital eye strain is the physical discomfort felt after two or more hours in front of a digital screen and is associated with the close to mid-range distance of digital screens, including desktop and laptop computers, tablets, e-readers and smartphones.

    Prolonged periods of use can exacerbate symptoms which result from a variety of factors, including the proximity of the screen, the frequency and duration of use and the degree of exposure to the blue light emitted by video screens.

    The optical industry has developed lens technology to alleviate vision problems associated with digital eye strain and protect eyes from blue light, glare and other environmental stressors. Commonly referred to as computer glasses, the lenses are constructed specifically for the mid-distance range at which users typically view a digital screen. This eye wear can be purchased with or without a prescription. If you think you, or a loved one may suffer from digital eye strain, a SNEAD EYE GROUP professional can help diagnose the condition and one of our trained opticians can assist you in selecting eye wear to alleviate your symptoms.

    tear ductARE DRY EYES AFFECTING YOUR LIFESTYLE?

    Dr.Balasquide, the newest addition to the SNEAD EYE GROUP family, can help you or any member of your family who may be experiencing dry eye syndrome.

    Dry eyes are very common. In fact over 3 million cases are diagnosed annually in the US. The risk of acquiring this condition increases with age and is seen more commonly among post-menopausal women.

    In dry eye syndrome the eyes may become dry, red, and inflamed. The main symptoms are discomfort, a feeling of something in the eye, and sensitivity to light. Prescription and lubricating eye drops can help reduce dryness. In some cases immunosuppressive drug therapy is required. The most important thing to know is that this condition is treatable! Don’t let dry eyes affect the quality of your life.

    Dr. B. works out of our newest location in Naples in the Pebblebrooke Plaza center, at the corner of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd. Schedule an appointment with Dr. B. or any of the other SNEAD EYE GROUP physicians at a location near you for a diagnosis and treatment regime.

    In many patients, corrective lenses fitted by a SNEAD EYE GROUP specialist will allow the patient to drive legally and function in daily life. If the disease continues to progress, one of several surgical options may be explored.
