Summer Eye Care Tips

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Risk: sunlight is very intense and the ultraviolet light can cause permanent, chronic yellowing (pinguecula) and redness (pterygium) in the whites of the eyes. Unprotected sun exposure increases risk of cataract development and macular degeneration. People with darker pigmented skin (Blacks, Hispanics, Asian) have high risk of sun causing permanent brown spots in whites of eyes.

I-Brite can treat the yellowing, bloodshot, and pigmented eyes that are caused by years of being in the sun; sun damage begins starting as a child playing outside without sunglasses.

Recommendations to decrease sun damage to eyes:

•Wear sunglasses

•Wear hat

•Best protection is wear both sunglasses and hat since hat blocks light coming in from above rim of sunglasses

•Be sure sunglasses have good wrap around design to block light from sides

•Wear sports sunglasses or goggles in swimming pool or ocean since water gives reflection of sunlight so double UV exposure

•Never look directly at the sun since it can cause retina damage

•Apply an artificial tear drop prior to pro-longer period of time in sun, think of this as sunblock for your eye

•Have your children start weaing sunglasses (we started our 4 y.o. twin girls in sunglasses when they were just one year old).

•Don’t apply sunscreen too close to the eyes as it can get in and burn – if you are exercising while wearing sunscreen don’t apply to eyelids as sweat will cause it to get into the eyes which can burn

•Avoid opening your eyes in a swimming pool with chemical chlorine as it cause caused blurred vision for the rest of the day

•Swim with swimming goggles with tinted UV protection – they also allow you to open your eyes under water

•If you’ve been out in the sun all day and wake up the next day with painful eyes, put artificial tears in. If still painful, see eye doctor right away.

•If you’re playing Summer contact sports like basketball, be sure to wear protective sports goggles or shields. Ditto for Summer hobbyists who work with tools (like grinding) to protect eyes from flying foreign objects that act like tiny missiles and can damage eyes.

More facts about I-BRITE™ eye brightening techniques:

Monday, June 7th, 2010

The I-BRITE™ procedure is a no-stitch, no-graph conjunctiva removal procedure that whiten and brightens the eye by delicately removing excessive red veins, yellow growths, or areas of brown pigmentation.

 

I-BRITE™ is comfortable, quick and very easy to recover from. The white areas of the eyes (sclera) are covered by a thin membrane called the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is home to the majority of unsightly discolorations and red veins that make the sclera appear dull, dingy, unhealthy, bloodshot and more. Conjunctiva that is in poor shape can be efficiently removed, in which case it will regenerate. The crystal clear, newly-regenerated conjunctiva makes patients’ eyes appear brighter and whiter than they can ever remember them being.

 

Here are more facts about the I-BRITE™:

 

·         Is available for appropriate candidates 16 and older;

·         Very high success rates with very few instances of secondary surgeries being needed;

·         Monthly follow-up appointments required for the first 3 months after procedure;

·         Annual eye exams are recommended;

·         Is possible those who wear contact lenses;

·         Removes pterygium or pinguecula;

·         Does not require amniotic membrane transplant (AMT);

Eye Whitening with I-BRITE™ Eye Whitening Procedure: Make Your Eyes Bright White Again!

Friday, June 4th, 2010

The eye whitening I-BRITE™ conjunctival removal procedure can take away unhealthy conjunctiva tissues and restore the vibrant, youthful whiteness that your eyes use to display.

What is conjunctiva anyway?

The white regions of human eyes are called sclera. Sclera is covered by a thin, transparent mucus membrane known as the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva actually lines the inside of the eyelids and also reaches out to cover the sclera, but not the cornea. Due to the affects of aging, the elements, bacteria and more, the conjunctiva can become dull, bloodshot, discolored and more.

The three sections of conjunctival:

1. Thin bulbar conjunctiva covers the inner surfaces (posterior) of the eyelids;
2. Moderately thick palpebral conjunctiva covers the outer surfaces of the eyeball’s sclera;
3. Fornix conjunctiva makes the transition between the anterior eyeball in the posterior eyelid;

The differences between pinguecula, pterygium and conjunctival hemorrhages:

Pinguecula refers to the fatty degeneration of conjunctiva tissues. Conjunctiva tissue is made up largely of almost-invisible collagen fibers that break down and get replaced by dingy, thick fibers. In some cases, calcium crystals are also found to have formed with this condition. Yellow, sometimes white, conjunctiva tissue results proximal to the cornea.

Pterygium refers to conjunctiva tissue that is inflamed and has blood vessels infused. Pterygiums may result from years of suffering with pingueculas. This condition is often progressive and will spread to the cornea if not treated promptly and effectively. Pterygiums are almost always diagnosed near the nasal area of the conjunctiva. This type of disorder can warp the cornea and cause astigmatism.

Subconjunctival hemorrhages display pooled blood beneath the transparent layer of conjunctiva. Very distinct when contrasted against the sclera, subconjunctival hemorrhages, although horribly unsightly in many cases, are absolutely harmless and do not affect the patient’s ability to see. The pooled blood reabsorbs naturally within just a few weeks and no medical intervention is required.

Benefits of choosing the I-BRITE™ minimally invasive surgical technique for eye whitening and restoring conjunctiva discoloration:

• Requires no stitching, no grafting and causes very little discomfort for patients;
• Takes away the discoloration, dingy yellow, red veins, brown pigmentations and more from the sclera of the eyes;
• Each eye requires only about 20-40 minutes to perform the I-BRITE™ technique on;
• I-BRITE™ eye whitening patients are able to return to their jobs the day following the procedure;
• Eyes will continue to brighten over the course of several weeks. Full-scale eye whitening results are most often experienced in 8 to 16 weeks after the procedure.

Facts about the I-BRITE™ eye whitening surgical technique:

Monday, May 24th, 2010

·         Developed over 15 years by Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler;

·         No lasers are used;

·         Conjunctiva (thin membranes on outside of eye whites) are completely removed;

·         Conjunctiva is the location of veins and discoloration;

·         Patients enjoy a little Valium and Vicodin before the procedure;

·         Procedure often takes less than 30 minutes per eye;

·         Patients wear clear eye shields/goggles for 24 hours after surgery;

·         Can return to work the following day in many cases, if desired;

·         Patients should wear sunglasses when outside while healing;

·         Instantly recognizable results continue to improve as new, crystal clear membranes (conjunctiva) regenerate;

·         Antiinflamatory/antibiotic eye drops will be used after surgery for 6 weeks;

·         Eyes may appear red for a week or two;

·         Full “bright white” results achieved in 4 to 16 weeks after procedure;

 

I-BRITE™ eye whitening surgery techniques are designed to be minimally invasive, very comfortable and quick to recover from. Most of the time, the discoloration (brown and yellowing) and red blood veins in eyes results from years of exposure to sunlight. After receiving the I-BRITE™ procedure, patients are more mindful about protecting their new, shiny eyes. They are much more likely to wear sunglasses whenever the risk of UV exposure presents itself. The use of artificial tears works like sunblock for the eyes. Those who take good care of their post-I-BRITE™ eyes can enjoy brilliantly white eye whites for decades to come.

I-BRITE Eye Whitening: It’s Not What You Think

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler has been working on a procedure for the past 13 years to remove the bloodshot appearance of eyes and the yellowing and brown pigmentated spots on the whites of the eyes. Within the last year the process has been named I-BRITE. To many, making the eyes whiter may simply seem like a cosmetic procedure. The opposite could not be more true.

Unbeknownst to those without the condition, people who live for many years with discolored whites of the eyes ahve the emotional effect of a more traditional ‘disfigurement’, such as missing a limb. The reason is that people with chronic bloodshot eyes (or other eye discolorations) are constantly being asked questions like, “Are you tired? You look like you didn’t get good sleep.” or even “Are you doing drugs, smoking pot or drinking a lot of alcohol?”

Even if others don’t ask, the non-verbals are there when people take a closer look at the eyes and likely view them differently or with suspicion. After many years self-esteem and self-confidence can be eroded in some patients. Moreover, doctors simply dismiss the patients’ concerns with “nothing can be done - you just have to live with it.”

I-BRITE is having the smae type of life-changing impact as procedurs such as LASIK. In other words, it’s not strictly about cosmetics; it’s really about removing a long-standing stigma that is freeing and boosting to confidence and esteem.
