On October 16, 2019, Dr. Ken Lindahl was the keynote speaker at the Rochester Optometric Society. He presented to approximately 70 local Optometrists over a dinner at the Inn On Broadway. His presentation, named How Low Can We Go? - Surgical Correction of Astigmatism and Glaucoma Surgery for the Cataract Patient was very well received. 

Dr. Lindahl discussed his philosophy on managing astigmatism, tools and diagnostics, glaucoma treatment for the cataract patient and advanced technologies. He reviewed a series of case studies and took Q & A in this interactive presentation. Optometrists received Continuing Education credits for attending.

If you aren't seeing the color in your flowers or your birds, you probably have cataracts.

If you have always had an astigmatism, the good news is now you can take care of both during cataract surgery. It's the smart choice because if you only choose to deal with your cataracts, you'll still have to wear glasses to deal with your astigmatism.

It's almost open enrollment season for healthcare benefits. If you're looking for opportunities to save money on your vision and eye health in 2020, adding a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through your employer is a good way to do it. There are significant differences between these two types of accounts and in general, you're only allowed to enroll in one or the other. Although they both use pre-tax dollars, understanding how they differ will help you select which option is right for you.
