We are thrilled to be the first optometry practice in the central Indiana area to offer the new lenses manufactured by CIBA VISON, a subsidiary of Novartis. This product won’t be available to most practices in the USA until early 2010.
This new product is ideally suited for individuals age 40 and older who have begun to experience diminished flexibility in their eyes making it more and more difficult to read fine print.
Come join us celebrate the introduction of the contacts at an exclusive launch party on Oct. 22. For more information about the event call 317-844-2020 or visit www.revolution-eyes.com
In the news last week: The National Institute of Health has awarded an Indianapolis startup a $225,000 grant to help research potential new treatments for age-related macular degeneration.
This is wonderful news for the millions suffering from this horrific condition. Anytime we have more ammunition in our bag to help better combat serious illnesses, it gives our patients hope and a chance at a better outcome.
As the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over age 60, with more than 7 million older Americans having or are at high risk to develop advanced macular degeneration, we all welcome this grant and are hoping for a great result in the not so distant future.

Buying glasses can be a costly matter. Shortcuts, such as diagnosing yourself and buying prescription glasses at a drug store may cause more harm than benefit in the future. Despite what the costs may be, glasses that are purchased in a doctor’s office typically are more problem-free, better quality and more accurate because they are fitted specifically for your vision impairments. (Consumer Reports, “The Specs on Specs,” July 1997)
These tips will ensure that you know what to look for when choosing the right glasses and lens:
Following these tips before going in to pick out glasses will help make the selection a lot easier and not as overwhelming leaving you with better vision and a great looking new accessory!
In order to keep your eyes healthy, it is important to know what exactly can help you. These five tips are basic and can be done by anyone!
1. Eat fruits and vegetables rich in Beta Carotene, i.e. carrots, spinach, mangoes, etc. The Beta Carotene is said to help prevent Macular Degeneration (an eye disease causing blindness) as well as some forms of cancer.
2. Getting plenty of rest helps to give your eyes a break and time to refresh.
3. Exercising helps to improve your blood circulation which ensures that your eyes are getting enough oxygen.
4. Drinking 12 glasses of water a day will eliminate the puffiness that may appear around your eyes.
5. Always protect your eyes from the sun at the peak time of day. Excessive sun-rays can cause serious damage to your eyes.
Be sure to follow these for results you’ll really be able to see!

A recent article written by Liz Segre of All About Vision focuses on the importance of having your contact lenses feel comfortable in your eyes. You can read the article below.
Ever feel like something’s not quite right with your contact lenses? You’re not alone. Half of former wearers say they dropped out of contact lenses because of discomfort.
But there’s no reason to stop wearing contacts, or to suffer in silence. There are many remedies for contact lens discomfort, including a host of new contact lenses and other products designed to make your wearing experience more comfortable. Read More
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that’s easily corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery.
Astigmatism is characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea. This type of disorder is also known as a refractive error. Astigmatism occurs in nearly everybody to some degree. For significant curvature, treatment is required. Read More
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.
