Take the pledge: Don’t text and drive!
Many people come into my office telling me that they’re having problems seeing while they’re texting. While I do my best to make sure that they can see their phones, I always make sure to ask them if they’re texting while driving. Texting while driving caused at least 16,000 deaths between 2001 and 2008, and it continues to kill today.
If you feel as strongly as I do about the dangers of texting and driving, join me in taking a stand. RevolutionEYES is selling gray thumb bands (think of the Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG bands) supporting non-distracted driving. They’re available for $1 at the RevolutionEYES office, and proceeds benefit the Lion’s Club.
Join us, and make the roads a safer place for us all!
RevolutionEyes Featured in the Indianapolis Star
We selected the location in Clay Terrace three years ago, because we felt we were a “Lifestyle brand”. We are happy with our choice today! Hope other non traditional companies join us to round out the mix.
From the IndyStar:
But when those other businesses land at the center, owners are finding out that being in the middle of a shopping mall has its benefits.
At RevolutionEyes in Clay Terrace, the client base has grown 15 percent since it arrived.
‘And that’s in a very down economy,” Dr. Jeremy Ciano said. “It’s great advertising just being here. You’ve got drive-bys. You’ve got walk-bys.’

Donate mittens and gloves at RevolutionEYES
To share in this season of giving back, RevolutionEYES will be collecting mittens, gloves, hats, earmuffs and scarves for Brookside Community Church through the Mitten Tree Program.
Brookside is located on the near east side of Indianapolis. When school is not in session, many children in this neighborhood are not only seeking something to do but also something to eat. Brookside Community Church, in partnership with the Shepherd Community Center, provides a safe place for the local youth during non-school hours. Children can enjoy healthy meals, sports/games, educational enrichment, special events, field trips and more.
Bring your donation in to our office at 14250 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 160, Carmel, from November 25 to December 18 and receive $5.00 off an eye exam!
Please help a child stay warm this winter by donating to our Mitten Tree. Thank you!

Project 3/50
I came across this site the other day and I really liked its philosophy.
What if everyone did this? Would the local economy get a huge boost? Or is it just an idealist philosophy.
To follow through with the 3/50 project – I would have to narrow down three independently owned businesses that I really couldn’t live without.
Top three local businesses I’d miss:
Gelato DaVinci in the Clay Terrace Mall, a family-owned business with great coffee and the BEST gelato in the city.
L. Severson Photography, a great artist in town. She really knows her craft and takes a lot of pride building up her community.
Mama Corolla’s in Broad Ripple… the BEST Italian food in the city!!!
If I could pick one more … I’d pick AMB Landscaping. He takes meticulous care of the lawns in our neighborhood. He named his family business after his daughter Alissa Marie Bandejas and moved here from NJ just to better himself and his family. Works EXTREMELY hard to make sure his clients are all ‘raving fans’.
What are your three places?
The Sun’s Effect On Your Eyes
It’s that time of year again. You will be outside enjoying the sunny weather. Are you taking the time to protect your eyes while doing so? We found great tips from Acuvue on how the sun effects your eyes and also how to protect your eyes from the sun.
The first fact states, “Sunlight is at its most intense between the hours of 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon. That means ultraviolet exposure is the most dangerous then.”
You can read all of the facts and tips here.
High-Definition Vision With Glasses?
We have HDTV and Blue-Ray DVD’s, so why not High-Definition Glasses? The answer is, we DO have that equivalent technology. Free Form technology is here from a few special lens manufactures around the world and we are very proud to offer them to our patients.
What is the difference? The enhanced vision is found for two different reasons.
#1: The lenses are digitally fabricated by a computer instead of being ground by a technician. The precision and accuracy is greatly enhanced by the computer’s ability to create exact specifications.
#2: The prescription is now etched onto the INSIDE surface of the glasses instead of the outside surface.
This small difference in prescription placement is HUGE. Based on the keyhole principle; the closer the prescription is to your eyes, the wider your field of view is. Most people have experienced the ‘swim and sway’ distortion associated with no-line bifocals. This has been greatly minimized with the advent of putting the Rx on the inside surface of the glasses. In fact, some of these new digital no-line bifocals can give up to a 30% wider field of view.
We hope this will encourage the few who have not been able to ‘adjust’ into their no-line bifocals in the past, and will give others the confidence of high definition vision when it comes time to update your prescription at your annual eye exam.

If you have a sudden change, loss, or disturbance in your vision, pain in your eye, or yellow or greenish discharge from your eye, see the topic Eye Problems, Noninjury to evaluate your symptoms. You may need immediate care.
