Bausch and Lomb Ultra Contact Lens



When disposable contact lenses were first introduced they were 2 week lenses. Recently most manufactures have been switching to either 1 day or 1 month replacement, because it's easier to remember. I have always been in the camp that shorter is better but around earlier this year, we were given the Bausch and Lomb Ultra lens to test out. It is only available in a limited number of offices (***shameless plug alert*** call us for a trial at 909.861.3737). Now I recommend it to every one for the following reasons:


 1- It is a newer material which breaths more. Most of Our patient were in a competing lens which came out before the first iPhone. I'm afraid that you might have skipped over that last little tidbit so I'm going to repeat it again using uppercase letters. MOST CONTACT LENSES ON THE MARKET HAVEN'T BEEN UPGRADED SINCE THE FIRST IPHONE WAS INTRODUCED!


2- It has a better modulus which in English means it holds it shape better, is easier to handle and helps it keep moist at the end of the day.

3- It has and aspheric design which provides better vision particularly at night.

Most of our patients who have tried the new B&L Ultra have made the switch. They also have an excellent rebate which makes it more affordable than other lenses on the market. Ask us about it at your next visit and make the switch to a more comfortable better priced lens.

Technology has changed in the last 9 years and so should your lenses.

8 WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR EYES AT THE OFFICE

Symptoms include eye fatigue, dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, red eyes, and eye twitching. How To Protect Your Eyes While You Work Below are a few things you can do to lower your risk or mitigate any discomfort associated with DES. 1. See your eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam This is one of the most important things you can do to prevent or treat symptoms associated with computer vision syndrome.

ANTI-BACTERIAL ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING BY VSP

Image
If you've spent time at Dr. Bladh's office, you know what anti-reflective (A/R) coating is and does. Back in the early days of optometry, A/R coating was primarily used to get rid of glare when taking pictures and get a clearer view of the world through your lenses. Both solid reasons to commit to adding this product onto your glasses, but there were some flaws. Typically, the lenses were hard to keep clean and often times the coating would peel after several months so scientists went back to the lab and developed newer technology to combat those problems. After perfecting the anti-reflective product, laboratories started to add other benefits to the coating (insert blue-light filters). The most recent advancement has come with the recent COVID-19 pandemic as a way to defend your eyes from harmful blue light rays as well as BACTERIA! Yes you read that correctly; the new blue-light A/R coating has been ISO-certified as anti-bacterial technology. Sound like a gimm

VSP EXTENDS PRIMARY EYECARE BENEFIT TO VSP MEMBERS

Image
Vision Service Plan (VSP) members already have the backing of one of the strongest vision insurance companies in the United States. There are several plans that VSP offers, but one that gets unnoticed the most is their Primary EyeCare plan. This plan allows patients to visit one of the participating VSP doctors for acute and sometimes chronic diagnosis. Think pinkeye, infections, foreign body removal , etc. Instead of waiting for hours at urgent care or the ER to visit someone who might see an eye problem twice in the month, you can instead visit Dr. Bladh, who sees almost 2 eye problems per day. Not only is the experience alone worth the PEC plan, the time you wait to see Dr. Bladh is less than half the time you would wait to see an inexperienced doc at urgent care!  The only problem with the PEC plan under VSPs umbrella of options is the fact that most employers opt out of these services and figure you can go see your primary care physician instead. Well, with the recen
