Yonkers, United States - May 14, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The practice anticipates that this announcement will encourage more Yonkers residents struggling with blurred vision due to glaucoma or other retinal-related issues to seek its specialized treatment. By issuing patients optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans, the optometrists at Westchester Eyes can identify the root cause of their symptoms and design a personalized treatment plan from there.

With this announcement, Westchester Eyes offers a non-invasive but comprehensive method for identifying early-stage glaucoma or macular degeneration to help slow the development of these conditions. In addition to these common issues, the practice's OCT scans can identify retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal tears.
An OCT scan is considered to be the most effective method available for identifying and diagnosing retinal conditions. During this process, cross-sectional images are taken of the retina by light waves, providing the optometrist with detailed information about the thickness of the retina's layers so they can accurately identify retinal diseases even in their early stages. Catching retinal diseases early on can allow patients to take preventative measures to slow the deterioration process and potentially avoid surgery.
During a comprehensive eye exam, the optometrists at Westchester Eyes can issue an OCT scan for patients experiencing blurred vision, darkened areas in the center of the visual field, or changes in color perception, all of which can be symptoms of more serious retinal conditions. If early-stage glaucoma is detected, the optometry practice can prescribe one of the leading brands of recently developed, advanced eye drops that slow the progress of this disease.

Water is the one part of a shower nobody thought to question. You research the shampoo, read the ingredient list on the back of the shower gel, and then you rinse all of it off with whatever comes out of the tap. Except that the water is doing something too – even if just what hasn’t been given a name. There’s a good chance you experienced the effects of hard water before you ever heard the term. You know it as the chalky ring that reappears on your shower screen days after you scrubbed it off,...

When her left shoulder began to ache shortly before she turned 50, my sister Carol Wilson ignored the pain and put it down to a poor-quality mattress. She hoped the situation would resolve when she moved house in the UK – and got a new bed. The pain continued. “I kept hoping it would get better,” she says. “But it didn’t.” Her doctor diagnosed a frozen shoulder and alluded to it being something that occurred in “women of a certain age”. He prescribed physiotherapy, which didn’t help her much,...

Sometimes, through no fault of their own, good films slip through the cracks. They fall out of fashion, are misunderstood by critics or are poorly distributed, and it can take the passage of time – or a miracle – to bring them back into the light. So it is with Nancy Kelly’s 1991 period piece Thousand Pieces of Gold, adapted from Ruthanne Lum McCunn’s 1981 novel and starring Rosalind Chao from The Joy Luck Club. The film is a sincere, authentic-feeling drama based on the incredible true story of...
