At the Rochester Eye & Laser Center, we are dedicated to helping our patients see the world clearly better and one way we express our dedication is by giving back. Over the past years, we’ve held events to collect donations for multiple worthy local charities.

 Systemic inflammation is a far too common problem posing a serious threat to human health. It’s estimated that the number of people with chronic inflammation diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis, will continue to increase for the next 30 years. Fortunately, dietary and lifestyle changes are often helpful for alleviating these health problems. 

In Rochester, as we enjoy the long summer days in the sun, it’s wise to consider the way we protect our eyes. High-SPF sunscreen, hats, and UV protective clothing protect our skin from sun damage and go along naturally with our sunglasses. But have you stopped to think about your sunglasses as UV protection for your eyes?
