Choosing the right IOL when considering cataract surgery
April 6, 2023
What’s the difference between Diffractive and non-diffractive EDOF IOLs?
The process of turning vitamins into powder isn't that straightforward, and attempting to make it at home would be similar to attempting to make any other medication, so you can't just smash the pills up. Though, Benjamin Eye Institute has found a powder company and has added this formula to the wide range of products and services that are already available.

I can’t stand huge pills. You can’t just shatter them with a hammer? It turns into powder.
You can’t just smash the pills up, because the process of transforming vitamins into powder isn’t that simple, and trying to do it at home would be like trying to manufacture any other medication. Bioavailability is the process by which the drug is delivered to the proper organs in the right doses, and when you crush tablets or gut a capsule the effects are unpredictable.
So when the consistency breaks, so does the formula?
Well, if it were so easy to make this stuff, then they’d have tablets for those who love tablets, capsules for those who loves capsules, powder, sprays, etc. But it doesn’t work like that. Benjamin Eye Institute, though, has found a powder company and we’ve added this formula to the wide range of products and services we already have available. Sadly this is not covered by insurance and isn’t very cheap, but the main thing is that it isn’t empty talk, as is the case with many useless vitamins on the market.
How much does it cost?
It costs about the same as vitamins at the store – $30-$40. Soon they will be available through our website so you can order from home, and not have to come down to the office. You don’t need to make that diagnosis yourself, though.
Last question. Do the vitamins have a preventative function? And in general what can we do to prevent or postpone AMD?
There are many factors – if you have blue eyes, farsightedness, or your grandfather or grandmother had it, you’re predisposed. But don’t wait for the disease to manifest itself – do something about it beforehand. Don’t smoke, eat your vegetables, monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol, wear sunglasses, and if you already have AMD, take the proper vitamins. And the wise people will visit the ophthalmologist first.

What’s the difference between Diffractive and non-diffractive EDOF IOLs?
We will open up about whether there is at least something beautiful behind these magic words – macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. What kind of unpleasant disease lies under such an interesting "keratoconus" and what is the connection with the cone?
Despite the fact that Macular Degeneration considered as a disease of kings, now it affects and leads to blindness not only to a privileged society. The light of hope was received from a group of American ophthalmologists who saved four patients from blindness with a new method that’s described in the Journal of Translational
Medicine.
For the first time in history, a robot called PRECEYES participated in an operation. The task was to dissect a specific membrane in the macula, a yellow spot of patients with macular degeneration. Results from six patients, operated on by robots, were compared with six others operated on by humans, but in terms of speed, you might be surprised that man won. Humans 1.5 minutes against robots 5.
The retina is a portal to your brain. According to new data, Alzheimer’s can show itself through some eye diseases that affect the retina. If problems begin in retina, it could be a symptom of physiological abnormalities in the brain. Also, retinal problems can indicate such diseases as diabetes, atherosclerosis. etc.
Researchers observed a sizable population for 15 years, which demonstrated that the probability of developing macular degeneration was 60% lower in orange lovers than in orange haters. Flavonoids, according to the study's author, are most likely what cause this impact. Numerous authors adore the word "flavonoids" because it is so lovely. However, what are they?
Future is officially here! Optos is the modern diagnostic equipment for systemic and ocular retinal diseases. With the assistance of Optos, ophthalmologist can take a fundus photo and see the rear of the eye for potential retinal tears.
Genentech has created a new delivery method for medications needed to prevent age related macular degeneration (AMD) called Port Delivery System. It resembles a small grain of rice that goes directly into your eye and time-releases medication. Genius!
