Communication Is An Important Part Of Lives

Communication is vital in the building of positive relationships. Both verbal and none verbal communication skills are needed when forming relationships so that people feel comfortable and at ease in your presence.

“It is amazing to me that, despite the variety of beautiful contacts lenses that have been developed today, people will still come up to me and compliment my eyes, often asking if they are real. One memory that I have kept with me is of an old lady who was partially blind but when ever she’d see me, she’d grab my arms, peer right into my eyes and then a big smile would break out on her face and she’d say, “Blessed child. You have beautiful eyes!” The old lady – unfortunately I never learned her name, she was always Ma’am to me - was the sister of my close friend’s mother and had come to Canada from Lebanon to visit a friend. She’d walk around her block and my friend and I would often encounter her on our own excursions. I never really knew

Imagine pricking your fingers with a needle five times a day. As a type 1 diabetic, this is a reality for me. My fingertips are callused and scarred. I was frustrated that after years of having diabetes, there wasn’t an easier way to check my blood sugar. I scoured Google Scholar for alternatives and I found a contact lens technology that would be capable of checking sugar levels using only tears. This would eliminate the need to prick my fingers for blood! If an unassuming tear could simplify diabetes care, what else the eye was capable of? My curiosity led me to volunteer as an optometry intern for blind motivational speaker Nancy Solari. Nancy is based in California and I live in Maryland, so I was a remote intern, communicating with Nancy

When it comes to finding all-around optical care in the greater Lexington, KY area, locals turn to the dedicated practice of optometrist and eye physician, James W. Matthew, M.D. At the core of it, the professionals at this practice aim to do whatever is necessary to ensure that patients’ eyes are in good health. This means that the staff here performs everything from routine examinations, glaucoma tests and treatments to more specialized work in optical surgery, all with an eye towards patient comfort and satisfaction.

Eyes: Pupillary light reflex: Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light. Accommodation is present. Eyebrows, eyelids, and lashes are present, symmetric, and eyelids are a proximal completely. Conjunctive is pink, clear, with no swelling or lesions. Sclera is china white. Patient wears glasses and the glasses are in good repair. The last vision test was last spring and the patient gets an eye exam done every two years. The client states her left eye did not fully develop so she has always had bad vision in that one eye. However, when you look at the eye, you would never notice. Cataracts were removed in both eyes, but it was 3 years apart.

With a varied number of options available in the market in terms of contact lenses at the least, we are going to talk about

My drawing of the cracked eye doctor equipment shows how I view the world. Last year, I was in the hospital for a deadly infection that made me go blind in my left eye. I ended up getting a life saving cornea transplant and it got rid of the disease so I could leave the hospital and go back to living my normal life. As well as curing my infection, it also restored some of the sight to my left eye, but I am still legally blind with my glasses on. The broken lense of the eye equipment conveys that no doctor or glasses can fix my eyesight, but the lense is only cracked, so if you were to look through it you would see a distorted image, much like how I see. Also, only the left eye lense is cracked, the other one is perfectly fine, which shows that

Inserting a contact lens. A skill I never thought I would need until the day arrived for an annual doctor's appointment and my doctor told me I should go see an ophthalmologist (an eye doctor). Needless to say, after a visit with the burly eye doctor, I had gotten glasses and was still refusing to get contacts. I knew I probably needed them, but the thought of sticking my finger in my eye to but in a rubbery circular thing gave me the chills. It just wasn't natural. And I went a long time with just my black rimmed glasses, that is, until soccer season came around. I was fine. I could see… couldn't I? That was what I asked myself after been hit in the face with the ball during my team's first game. Was

Foster Grant sunglasses were the first to be sold as an over-the-counter consumer item instead of having to be ordered by an optometrist. (Grant, 2004)

In second grade, when I placed my glasses on my face for the very first time, I entered into a different realm of reality—a reality where I could see things for what they truly were. I was intrigued by the way my eye doctor was able to help me in maintaining a keen eyesight during each annual exam visit. Being able to see clearly is one of the most valuable assets to have when living in this world because not only does sight constitute the majority of our perception of things, it also allows us to form a closer connection with our surroundings. For this reason, I have chosen to become an optometrist and improve the vision of others so they, too, can truly see all the world has to offer.

Having been in the Maverick Optical office I was able to meet all kinds of people. Anyone could need eyewear. This being the case, I was able to see people’s lives changed by their eyewear. Being able to see a toddler with their first pair of glasses and them being able

A young patient had come into Boulder Eye Care Professionals on his lunch hour extremely upset that he had lost his only pair of glasses, and he was unable to afford the replacement pair of glasses. To complicate the situation further, his job was dependent on being able to see, so if he would be unable to work without glasses, he would never be able to afford the replacement glasses. The optician helping this patient had exhausted the options that he could think of and the patient was unable to return to work until he could perform his job correctly. I suggested to the patient that we would be able to fit him for contact lenses that day, which would allow him to return to work that day and it would allow him a month time to save up and purchase

Vistakon plans to focus on contact lens wearers who are occasional users, have medical issues with conventional contacts, find contacts uncomfortable or would prefer a more disposable lens (Ex. 15). During the clinical trial, the 1 Day lens was shown to reduce ocular complications in comparison with traditional replacement lenses (p.10). This suggests that 1 Day might appeal to consumers who have been subject to ocular complications in the past. There is also extensive data supporting the idea that Vistakon should target consumers who exclusively wear glasses. In the Western Launch, 18% of 1 Day users were contact lens dropouts and 12% had never worn contacts (Ex. 19). This shows that Vistakon has an opportunity to access the 117 million consumers who exclusively wear eyeglasses (Ex.

I would be happy if the problems I face with my glasses are fixed. I would wear my glasses more often than eye contacts.

Can you imagine having a diagnosis of being nearsighted when you are truly farsighted? Verbal and written information of patient’s diagnosis, how they can avoid worsening their condition or even help improve their condition, can be presented at this time. Once this process is complete, the optometrist may release the patient back to the optometry assistant or if the patient choses, the dispensary. Again, correct identification of the patient is still necessary to answer and provide any additional information to the patient. If the patient decides to patronize the dispensary, he may need training on how to install and care for contact lenses or how to care for glasses. Either way, both can be accomplished by demonstration, imitation, pamphlets, brochures, or instructional video.
