Just implanted the newest FDA-approved cataract lens in the U.S. — the FineVision Trifocal.

Why it’s a big deal:�✅ 3 focal points (distance + computer + reading)�✅ Designed for more glasses-free range of vision�✅ Glistening-free material for long-term clarity�✅ Blue-light filtering to help reduce night glare�
My first patient’s reaction on Day 1? “Noticeably better” and they already had a different multifocal in the other eye.

Not everyone is a candidate (you’ll need low astigmatism and healthy retinas), but if you’re looking for less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery, it’s absolutely worth asking about.
Follow for my full breakdown + real-world results as we get more cases in.

New treatment for Floaters: Game changing 3D Tracking Laser

Floaters are those drifting spots, cobwebs, or shadows that show up against the sky or white walls.
Traditional laser treatment can be risky because floaters constantly move. Manually aiming a laser at a moving target inside the eye increases the risk to the retina or the lens.

A new approach is changing that. With 3D tracking, floaters can be imaged in three dimensions and tracked in real time, turning a manual procedure into a high-precision, automated process with a level of control not possible by hand.

🚨Important: If you suddenly see a shower of new floaters, flashes of light, or a dark curtain in your vision, stop watching and call a doctor immediately. This can be a retinal tear and is a medical emergency.
For everyone else - the future is getting closer.

1948 contact lenses were basically Plexiglas on your eye
Hard. Not oxygen-breathable. And definitely not “all-day comfy.”
We’ve come a LONG way.

In 1948, contact lenses were still “hard lens” territory, often made from PMMA (Plexiglas). These early plastic lenses didn’t let oxygen pass through, which is why many people could only tolerate them for limited hours.
What changed around 1948 was the rise of the corneal lens, smaller than the older scleral shells and designed to sit mainly on the cornea, riding on the tear film for vision and comfort. Even with their limitations, PMMA lenses were a huge leap from earlier glass designs: more durable, easier to produce, and far more practical, paving the way for the modern contacts we know today.

Cataracts Don’t Start With Blur

Most people don’t notice cataracts until they’re way further along… because the first change usually isn’t “blur.”

There’s a quick at-home check you can do with your phone that can reveal an early clue, and it takes about 10 seconds.
