Emil Chynn MD of Park Avenue Laser Vision NYC
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the US and the #1 cause of irreversible blindness in black Americans, because it is the "silent thief of vision"--there are no symptoms until it's too late, and you have already lost most of your vision.
Kirby Puckett, the former Major League Baseball player, All-Star, and Batting Champion, like most people with glaucoma, never knew he had it, as only his peripheral vision was affected (even professional athletes often can't recognize a loss of peripheral vision, as people just turn their heads to compensate). By the time he was diagnosed, he only had "tunnel vision" left, and, sadly, had to retire from baseball at the peak of his career.
President Obama, in his enlightenment, has made preventing blindness a priority of his administration. Dr. Chynn was an early Obama supporter, and donated the maximum contribution allowed by law to his campaign-- eager to do his part and help out!
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults have their eye pressure checked for glaucoma every 2 years. So, if you or anyone you know has not had an eye exam in years--do it now, for Save Your Vision Week!
Just call Dr. Chynn's practice, Park Avenue Laser Vision, toll-free, at (888) I-WANT-2020 (1-888-492-6820)
Even if you do not have medical insurance, Park Avenue Laser Vision will still accept you as a patient during Save Vision Week, and perform an annual exam and glaucoma screening using the Diaton non-contact device.
The Diaton invention http://www.TonometerDiaton.com is a new product that has been FDA approved for 2 years. Rather than puffing an annoying blast of air into your eye, or requiring messy drops that sting to allow something to touch your eyeball, the Diaton device measures your eye pressure THROUGH YOUR EYELID. This means that you don't have to worry about any discomfort--which makes the Diaton an ideal screening device, and great for testing for glaucoma in children.
