Summer 2016

  

 What's New At Koetting Eye Center? 

  • Welcome Dr. Nicholas Castellano!!  We are extremely pleased and excited to welcome the newest addition to Koetting Eye Center team. Dr. Nicholas Castellano joined his father Carmen and brother Joseph in practice on May 23. With an additional doctor on board we hope to be able to provide you additional and more convenient service. Please help us welcome the newest Dr. Castellano!

 

  • The Summer Rush has Begun:  The kids are out of school and it's time for summer sports, camps and family vacations. Don't forget, summer is also a great time to get the kids in for eye care so they will be ready to go when school starts this fall. We encourage you to make those appointments and avoid the last minute rush. Please give us a call at 314-863-0000 to make an appointment soon.

 

  • New Instrumentation:   Koetting Eye Center is excited to announce the arrival of the iVue Optical Coherence Tomography system to our office. Optical Coherence Tomography, or OCT, is an advanced and sophisticated technology that allows for easy and detailed imaging of a number of structures in the eye. This brief scan can assist our doctors at Koetting Eye Center to better detect, treat and manage glaucoma, macular degeneration and a host of other retinal and ocular problems. This new instrumentation will help us continue to provide the latest in quality eye care for our patients.

 

  • Problems with Dry Eyes and Contact Lenses?  Koetting Eye Center is pleased to announce the arrival of 1-Day Acuvue Oasys with HydraLuxe. This revolutionary new material design features an enhanced network of tear-like molecules that mimic our natural tears and helps keep the lenses feeling moist throughout the day. In addition, the daily disposability ensures you will experience a clean fresh lens every day. And, as an added plus, 1-Day Acuvue Oasys has a UV blocking feature that prevents harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching the natural lens of the eye and the retina. These harmful rays have been associated with the development of cataracts and macular degeneration. Please ask us about this new option next time you're in our office or call us at 314-863-0000.

  • Revolutionary Protection for Your Eyes: We have long known that excessive exposure to UV light may damage your eyes like it damages your skin, accelerating eye aging and the occurrence of cataract. But did you know thatBlue-Violet light may also be harmful? Though some portions of the Blue-Violet spectrum help regulate your sleep/wake cycle and aid in memory, mood and other brain functions, some other portions may be harmful. Excessive exposure to certain portions of the Blue-Violet spectrum has been associated with increased risk for agerelated macular degeneration. Furthermore, Blue-Violet light is emitted from many modern devices used today such as computers, tablets, LED and compact fluorescent lights. Now there is good news! Crizal Prevencia no glarelenses selectively filter out harmful light while letting good light pass through. These lenses may be used in virtually any prescription and are available in our Eyewear Dispensary. For more information you may call us at 314-863-0000 or ask about Crizal Prevencia at your next visit to our office.
