Polarized Sunglasses:

The following is a list of how polarized sunglasses can help enhance specific activities we all take part in.

■ JOGGING/RUNNING: Polarized photochromics adapt to changing conditions. Gray or gray-green is typically best for bright sun and true color viewing, while brown provides visual contrast and definition.
■ HIKING/CLIMBING/MOUNTAIN BIKING/CYCLING: Yellow-based tints/copper in medium density for visual contrast and definition. Photochromic polarized may work for some, but cyclists may prefer non-photochromics for rapidly changing light conditions.
■ SNOW SKIING/ SNOWBOARDING: Amber/brown is contrast-enhancing—amber in low light (clouds) and brown for brighter light (full sun). Rose/vermillion hues also offer high contrast with reduced glare. Dark amber works well in high altitudes and/or bright light.
■ CYCLING OR MOTORCYCLING: Polarized photochromics may be the best choice, because the lens' changeability adapts to various environments and conditions. Polarization may also make hot road surfaces look slimy, oily or shimmery, which for some can cause visual confusion and loss of performance and safety.
■ OUTDOOR CONTACT SPORTS: Football/soccer: Light (low light conditions) to dark (bright light conditions) gray or polarized photochromic gray.
■ BASEBALL: High-contrast gray, brown, or green; brown or green are best for viewing the baseball against the sky or grass.
■ SHOOTING SPORTS: Hunting: Brown/copper for bright light; yellow/amber for low light.
Target/sporting clay/trap shooting: Medium orange or copper helps define objects and enhance contrast.
■ WATERSPORTS: Skiing/Jet skiing: Dark gray for bright sun; light to medium gray in cloudy or low light conditions. Surfing/Wakeboarding: Yellow/light copper for low light conditions and brown for sunny conditions for visual definition. Gray can inhibit reading the water.
Boating: Dark gray or dark brown in mid-day, bright sunlight. Vermillion/rose for dawn and dusk.
Kayaking: Yellow/light copper for hazy conditions; gray for bright sun.
■ FISHING:  Deep, dark or “blue” water (e.g., open ocean): Gray Shallow “brown” water (e.g., streams): Brown/copper Grassy-bottomed water: Green
■ TENNIS/RACQUET SPORTS: Yellow-based tints and specialty tints (e.g., blue/teal) that highlight the yellow tennis ball.
■ GOLFING: Fairway: Gray and gray-green are neutral and provide true color perception, which some golfers prefer, while brown/copper/amber hues increase contrast and object recognition, like a white golf ball against a blue sky or green grass.
Greens: Both medium copper and orange help players read the breaks, while dark copper/brown works best in bright sunlight.
Overall: Brown polarized photochromics change density with changing course conditions
 
Partners In Vision is commited to providing patients with the best possible selection of fashion and sport specific sunwear.  Any frame in your optical shop can be fitted with polarized lenses.  We also offer styles from brands like Maui Jim and Oakley.  Please feel confident in referring any patient who can benefit from the advantages of prescription or non-prescription polarized sunwear.

Research Indicates Good Nutrition May Inhibit Vision Loss  

Studies show that vegetables rich in carotenoids — dark, leafy green vegetables, including raw spinach, kale, and collard greens—significantly reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the eye disorder that leads to vision loss in older people. When used in combination, high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc are also linked to reduced risk. Cape Fear Eye Associates carries a special formulation of these vitamins and minerals, MacularProtect Complete®, which has been shown in large studies to limit the progression of moderate to severe macular degeneration.  In addition to good nutrition, treatment with Avastin®, available at both our Sanford and Fayetteville locations, may limit the damage associated with advanced macular degeneration

LASIK, CK, and PRK

If you've made the decision to have LASIK, or are considering refractive vision correction surgery, Cape Fear Eye Associates is the perfect place to begin. We offer a full range of refractive surgery options, including CK, PRK, and LASIK, to residents in the Chapel Hill, Sanford, and Fayetteville, North Carolina areas. In addition, our practice uses wavefront laser eye surgery technology, giving our patients access to the most advanced laser vision correction technique available.

One of the primary researchers in the first FDA study to approve commercial LASIK, ophthalmologist S. Scott Stapleton has been at the forefront of LASIK technology for nearly two decades. His colleague Dr. J. Wayne Riggins has been successfully performing LASIK since 1996. Dr. Sheel Patel has extensive experience performing custom LASIK with microkeratomes as well as IntraLase®. Dr. Miles Whitaker has been performing PRK and PTK for many years.
