Aesthetics

I love how Shinagawa offers personalized services. My experience with them was that they did not offer me one size fits all solution. Because people are all different, they took the time to explain to me in detail why a certain service would be better fit for me than the other. And with their Japanese background, I am assured that they have the latest medical technology and their services are highest of quality.” Dae Lee of Foreignoy Trio

 

“My life journey with Shinagawa has always been awesome. Excellent services, very hospitable staff, and the ambience is extremely homely.My skin feels replenished and rejuvenated, and it gets better after each visit.. Shinagawa is really a place to be. I’m a living witness and i’m very grateful”- Bobby Madubike

 

“Ever since I started the laser genesis treatment at Shinagawa, not only myself, but all of my friends have noticed a big difference in the quality of my skin. I look younger now than I did three years ago! I am so grateful for a company like Shinagawa. The treatment has caused me to become less self conscious and more confident in my appearance.”– Dwaine Woolley

 

“It was a very welcoming and calming experience. Also very professional and informative. Will definitely be returning here” –Fely Irvine

 

Orthodontics

“I used to shy away from camera especially if it’s a close up take because i don’t feel confident in showing my teeth. But thanks to Shinagawa Ortho, i can now smile big, a smile with confidence that i have been wanting for the longest time. It’s life changing experience. Now i can definitely do what they say; start and end your day with a SMILE” – Dex Garcia

Looking Through LASIKed Eyes

1. The stress felt in selecting new pair of eyeglasses – frame, color, the design to match the outfit.

6 Facts You Need to Know About Astigmatism

6 Facts You Need to Know About Astigmatism

They say having Astigmatism is like driving through life with a “warped windshield”. Though there is no known cause for most cases of Astigmatism, it is usually attributed to an imperfection in the shape of the eye, particularly the cornea, which is responsible for most of the eyes ability to “bend light” or focusing most of the light which enters the eye.

Due to the irregular shape, the eye’s ability to focus is inhibited. So images may appear distorted or blurred. Astigmatism is a term commonly known but there are still little known facts about this condition.

Here are some key facts about astigmatism:

  1. Most people have it but don’t know it. Because some mild types of this condition don’t affect vision, most people aren’t aware they have it. It is also more common in young people and women. Astigmatism often occurs in puberty. It may also be present in birth and can increase in intensity through the years.
  2. It can go away. Most people do not experience symptoms nor do they require treatment. But prescription eye glasses or contact lenses have been known to treat Astigmatism in its early stages.
  3. The Diabetic Connection. High blood sugar levels can affect the eye, particularly the shape of the lens, which is responsible for the focusing power of the eye. This is called Diabetic retinopathy and occurs when the tiny blood vessels in the eye are blocked.
  4. Rubbing can cause eye weakening. Commonly seen in people with allergies, chronic vigorous rubbing of the eyes can cause damage to the cornea and eventually cause increased pressure and irregular change in the shape of the eye.
  5. Exercising can help. This may seem odd but if you really think about it, our eyes are muscles and so they need to be kept in shape. One helpful exercise is to read and avert your gaze periodically. Start by reading one paragraph then shifting your gaze to a nearby object and then go back to reading. Doing this repeatedly will strengthen your eye muscles and improve your ability to focus.
  6. Having LASIK is the way to go. LASIK surgery is known to be the key to regaining perfect vision but moreover, it can also be responsible for correcting astigmatism. Having LASIK is like hitting two birds with one stone. LASIK surgery can reshape the inner layer of the cornea, correcting astigmatism in the process.
