For someone who has tons of life ahead of her, Pam Madridejos knows that the sky can be the limit for her if only she can set her vision straight.

For most of her life, Pam, 23, has had her struggles with poor eyesight. And as she goes on with her life, it’s not doing her any favors.

“My sight started to deteriorate and be blurry when I was in early grade school, at such a young age,” confessed Pam. “It was so difficult for me when I was in school until I started my professional career.”

For someone who loves to read and travel with her family, blurry eyesight is a daily hindrance in terms of living a full life.

“It’s sad ‘because I can’t wear shades because I have to wear glasses when we travel. Just one of the many struggles.”

Pam just can’t let that be the case moving forward.

“I just knew by then that I needed a change and brighter eyesight and that’s when I started pondering about having LASIK,” shared Pam of the turning point of her decision to have LASIK. “I already know about LASIK and Shinagawa but at first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it but when it got to that point, I just know it’s a go.”

Ways Accountants Would Benefit From LASIK | Shinagawa Blog

Ways Accountants Would Benefit From LASIK

/0 Comments/in , /by

Are you an accountant who has a blurry vision? It’s quite challenging doing your everyday computing with a poor vision, right?

All those hours dangling figures after figures can be exhausting and extra difficult. Dealing with numbers extensively on a daily basis is no joke, especially if it’s the tax season. Accountants know that.

That’s why having brighter eyesight is essential for your career. Here’s how LASIK can make an accountant’s life easier:

  1. Grind Of Computer Usage – While computers may make certain tasks go faster, and increase numerical accuracy, it can be hard to get the screen to just the right distance for the clearest view. Accountants who wear glasses can struggle to find the right balance. Keeping two pairs of glasses on hand, or trying to maneuver eyeballs through bifocals, can start to have the same effect as motion sickness. LASIK benefits fix that problem altogether. LASIK surgery can ensure that any distance is the right distance away from the screen.
  2. Taxing Season – Every accountant knows that the tax season is one of the most tiring and stressful of stretches. Blurry eyesight won’t help the cause of accountants. Even esteemed tax professionals – like accountants – can become bleary-eyed. The last thing any accountant needs is to make a mistake on someone’s tax return. LASIK surgery will improve vision so when tax time comes around, accountants can put away their glasses, or donate them for a tax write-off, and get back to work in style. LASIK benefits improve your vision and your taxes with the swiftness of one efficient laser beam.
  3. Properly Determining 0s and 8s – For someone who has poor eyesight, determining 0s and 8s on a daily basis isn’t easy at all, considering the resemblance in the numeric figures. Balancing budgets can take a toll on tired eyes, which can make numbers difficult to decipher. This is especially common for anyone with astigmatism, which is one of the most common conditions treated by LASIK eye surgery. After eye tissues have healed, the numbers will literally come back into focus, making an accountant’s job a whole lot easier.
  4. Keeping A Sharper Eye On The Stock Market – We don’t know who can read those stock market updates these days. The print is smaller than the small. For sure, accountants with visual problems are having more issues. LASIK benefits don’t always mean that accountants can go 100% free from reading glasses but LASIK surgery sure does help. After LASIK, most accountants will be able to read the headlines from that distance with minimal problems.

If you’re an accountant and can relate to the common problems faces by those with visual problems, it’s probably time for you to consider LASIK to make life easier for you. Call our Patient Care Lines: (+632) 7-368 5238 l (+63) 917 862 7454 l (+63) 921 217 0517 and schedule your LASIK screening.

Slowing Down Cataract Progression | Shinagawa Cataract Blog

Slowing Down Cataract Progression

/0 Comments/in , /by

Although cataracts are not reversible, there are some things you can do that may help slow down their progression.

Here are some things you can observe to slow down a cataract’s progression:

  1. Wear sunglasses or a brimmed hat outside during the day to protect your eyes from sun exposure, which may speed up the progression of cataracts.
  2. Switch to an “eye-healthy” diet that includes leafy greens, nuts, whole grains, citrus fruits, and cold-water fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
  3. Consult about side effects of any prescribed medications that may speed up cataract progression.
  4. Undergo regular eye examinations to track the progression of cataracts and adjust your course of treatment as necessary before the symptoms become more problematic.

If your cataract continues to progress, then it’s best to immediately see an eye doctor and have a needed eye examination.

Shinagawa offers prolific examinations and the best eye doctors for the best eye care. Call our Patient Care Lines: (+632) 7-368 5238 l (+63) 917 862 7454 l (+63) 921 217 0517 to schedule an eye check.
