Why Get Eye Exam?

American author Zig Ziglar once said, “I opened two gifts this morning. They were my eyes.”

At Bright Vision Optometry, we agree with you Zig. Our human ability to see is miraculous. We open our eyes each day to see so many different things including the people we love, the beautiful environment we live in and of course, Netflix.

In this blog post, we’ll answer the question, “why get an eye exam?”. Let’s get into it.

Vision

Do you ever get the feeling that your vision has changed? Or your vision is not as good as it was a year ago?

One of the biggest reason to get an eye exam is to ensure you are seeing your best.

Prescriptions for both eyeglasses and contact lenses often will fluctuate with time. During your eye exam, your eye doctor will measure your new prescription to make sure you are seeing as good as you can.

Especially during COVID times, we are seeing more and more patients who are on the computer for the majority of the day. Think about all the people working from home. Think about all the kids doing social distance learning. Getting an eye exam will check for changes in your vision that you may or may not have noticed.

Eye Health

An eye exam can help detect eye health problems at the earliest stage when it is the most treatable.

For example, if left undetected, Glaucoma is an eye disease which can lead to blindness. However, if you have glaucoma and your eye doctor catches this problem early, it was a very treatable disease which can prevent blindness from ever happening.

Another example is retinal detachment. Sometimes retinal detachments can happen suddenly but there are also times where retinal detachments can be prevented.

During your eye exam, your eye doctors will perform a retinal evaluation which can catch early signs and risks of retinal detachments such as retinal holes and lattice degeneration. If caught early, there may be surgical options to prevent retinal detachments from ever occurring.

Systemic Health

Lastly, getting an eye exam can detect systemic health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure and even brain tumors.

Diabetes is one of the most common health disease humans are facing. 1 out of 10 people in the U.S. are diabetic. Diabetes not only affects our human bodies but it could also affect our human eyes.

At Bright Vision Optometry, there were more a than a few times where we referred our patients to get checked for diabetes because of the eye health changes our doctors detected inside their eyes.

Lastly, during your eye exam your burning questions will be answered by a credible and trusted source. With the internet, it is easy to get answers to your questions but are the answers credible?

3 Ways To Reduce Computer Eye Strain

13 October, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

Eye Care

Do you work on the computer for more than 6 hours a day? These days, many of us, including myself have jobs that require us to stare at computer screens for hours and hours. Here are 3 simple tips to reduce eye strain when working on the computer.

Tip #1. Adjust Your Computer Screen Position
The closer the object to your eye, the harder your eye muscles have to work to keep focused. Adjust your computer screen about 20-28 inches away or about an arms length distance. This is easy to keep track, just raise your arm and your fingers should be right on or a little bit away from the screen. Position your computer screen slightly below eye level and never position your screen above eye level. Human eyes tire the fastest when looking up.

Tip #2: Be Mindful of Lighting and Glare
Eye strain is often caused by excessively bright light either from outdoor sunlight coming in through a window or from harsh interior lighting. When you use a computer, your ambient lighting should be about half as bright as that typically found in most offices. So If you have an overhead fluorescent light source, consider turning it off to reduce eye strain.

Tip #3: Wear Prescription Computer Glasses
It’s a fact, our human eyes are not made for 8 hours of computer work a day. For us to keep up with these rapidly increasing and new visual demands, our eyes need help. And help comes in the form of prescription computer glasses. When I say prescription computer glasses, I don’t mean your distance prescription or reading prescription. I am talking about a specifically measured prescription just for your computer distance and workspace use. Over the last 2 year, I have found myself prescribing a lot more computer glasses. And you know what? My patients love it.

What’s the Best Anti-Fog Product?

5 July, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

On June 18th, California Governor, Gavin Newsom, issued a statewide mask order – a necessary precaution as COVID-19 continues to spread, harm and kill.

Who would have ever thought we as a society would be adding “mask” to our “before you leave the house” checklist. The other items on that list include our daily essentials – phone, keys and wallet/purse.

As we become more and more comfortable with wearing a mask, one big problem has come up for the glasses wearing community.

Glasses fogging up when masks are on.

So in this blog post, we will be reviewing 7 different anti-fog products to find the most effective option for you. Hopefully this review will help you not “fog up” and waste money on something that won’t work.

Read more to find out which anti-fog product is most effective anti-fog product while wearing a mask.

Defogging Products

In total, we reviewed 7 anti-fog products / methods. Here’s the list of products, prices and where you can buy them.

Fog Free
$10.95 for a 2 oz spray bottle
Amazon Link
Note: does not work on lenses with anti-reflective coating which most people will have on their lenses.
Fog Stopper
$14.95 for 10 mL drip bottle
Eyeglasses Supply Store Link
Note: designed specifically for all lens types including anti-reflective coated lenses.
Cat Crap
$7.99 for 30 mL (1 oz) spray bottle
Amazon Link
Note: safe for any lens including lenses with anti-reflective coating.
C:Ya Anti-Fog Cloth
$12.99 for 1 – 15×18 cm cleaning cloth
Amazon Link
Note: on the front of the packaging, it states – “anti-fogging performance may vary depending on lenses or circumstances”.
Anti-Fog Lens Wipe by EYENID
$9.99 for 1 cleaning cloth
Amazon Link
Note: according to the packaging instructions, this product can be used 1000 times.
nerdwax
$9.99 for 1 – 2g stick
Nerdwax Link
Note: beeswax based blend of all-natural, cosmetic grade ingredients.
Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape
$2.99 for 1 – 288 inch roll
Amazon Link
Note: apparently this is the #1 paper tape in hospitals.

Review Results

Which anti-fog product / method did we find as the most effective?

First, the anti-fog spray and cloth (products #1-5) were basically cleaning products and not anti-fog products. We do not recommend buying those products because they do not prevent fogging at all.

Although we will say, Cat Crap is a very catchy brand name. Kudos.

So after trying all 7 products, the clear winner is…

Nexcare Gentle Paper Tape!

Soft and gentle on the skin, when placed on the edge of your mask and the space above is sealed, tape is the most effective way to defog your glasses when wearing a mask.

By sealing the space between your mask and your glasses, condensation (or fogging) is physically prevented. Therefore, no glasses fog!

DISCLAIMER: Do not use the tape method for more than 15-30 minutes at a time.

During our test, we also compared fogging between lenses with and without anti-reflective coating. We found that lenses treated with anti-reflective coating does not prevent fogging, but the time it takes for lenses to defog is a lot faster than lenses without anti-reflective coating.

The difference is the lenses treated with anti-reflective coating has a hydrophobic layer or a protective layer that repels water and condensation.

That’s part of the reason why, we at Bright Vision Optometry, always recommend lenses treated with anti-reflective coating.

The Nerdwax stick was an effective anti-fog product too.

When applied on nose pads of eyewear, Nerdwax’s primary function is to keep glasses and sunglasses from slipping.

You can actually use nerdwax on the edge of your mask to create an adhesive with your skin, sealing off potential condensation and fog.

Because the ingredient is similar to chapstick (Burt’s Bees), waxy and sticky, we recommend using nerdwax for anti-fog purpose on daily disposable masks only. Unfortunately, this product does not work too well with cloth masks.

Contact Lenses

Thinking outside the box, an alternative anti-fog method is to not wear glasses in the first place.

Contact lenses is another way to avoid fogging problems with glasses while wearing a mask.

As the coronavirus numbers continue to rise, it seems like our mask wearing days are here to stay. This might be the perfect time to try contact lenses.

New York, New York: Taking a Bite of The Big Apple

15 March, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

Family

no responses

It just so happened to be the coldest week in New York.

But weather was the last thing on my mind. My mind was on New York and the adventures to come.

Considered by many as the greatest city in the world, it’s a city full of energy, eye-catching sights and of course, delicious food options.

Armed with our list of spots to see and places to eat, my wife and I were ready, ready to take a bite (literally) of The Big Apple.

Here’s a list of what we did and ate.

Chelsea Market Area

ARTECHOUSE NYC

Inspired by the Pantone’s color of the year, classic blue, we were submerged into an immersive art experience.

This art institution is perfect for those who want enjoy art in an interactive fashion. As an added bonus, it’s shelter from the nippy weather.

VERY FRESH NOODLES

Inside the Chelsea Market, endless food options awaits. We were looking for something simple and more importantly, something that will help defrost our bodies.

The fresh, pliable, handmade noodles was the star of the show (super QQ). Our order of Taiwanese beef noodle soup even got the approval of our Taiwanese parents. Our bellies were warm indeed.

Midtown Manhattan Area

CENTRAL PARK

Located in the heart of New York City, Central Park is a sight to see even in the middle of winter. Consider this a meeting point for walkers, runners, bikers, horses, strollers, dogs and interesting people.

Strawberry Fields was on our list of sights to see. It pays tribute to John Lennon, who once sang, “I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will live as one”.

REMI FLOWER & COFFEE

What’s better than the smell of coffee? The smell of coffee and flowers. This cute shop combines both, making your basic coffee run much more unique.

Powered by the stimulation of caffeine and the smell of flowers, a visit to this spot is the perfect way to start a New York morning.

DUMBO / Brooklyn Area

EMPIRE FULTON FERRY PARK

Where Brooklyn at? On the other side of Manhattan. It’s got a pretty view here too.

Surrounded by restaurants, eye-catching architecture, shopping and next to the famous Brooklyn Bridge, this spot is great for photos of the New York City skyline.

JULIANA’S PIZZA

There’s Chicago style pizza, then there’s New York style pizza. You can guess which style we had.

Considered by some as the best depiction of what a classic New York style pizza should be, Juliana’s Pizza did not disappoint. Bonus, they offer a non-diary option which made my wife’s stomach smile.

The whole time we were there, this line from Alicia Keys rang in my ear, “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothin’ you can’t do.”

My wife got annoyed at me because I was singing that line the whole trip. Really off key though.

Although the weather treated us coldly, our bellies stayed warm and our hearts full.

New York, we’ll be back soon, until then, stay cool.

Mammoth, California: A Family Trip to See Snow

27 February, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

no responses

Mammoth, cited as one of the best winter travel destination in California.

Every winter, skiers and snowboarders flock to this small town in east, central California. Why? For the heavy snowfalls that descends from December to March.

But what if you or your family don’t participate in winter sports?

Don’t worry. Mammoth is a winter delight for everyone in the family including kids.

In late January, we took a weekend trip to Mammoth to play with some snow.

Here’s a summary of our trip!

1. The Village Lodge at Mammoth

Nested in the heart of Mammoth, the Village Lodge is where we stayed.

We picked this accommodation mainly because of location.

It’s a short walk to the gondola and there were plenty of food options available just downstairs. Super convenient, especially with traveling with kids.

Inside our comfortable “condo”, there was a full kitchen where we cooked instant ramen one of the nights.

The fireplace in the living room was a lovely feature. We all felt warm and fuzzy as we watched the movie Aquaman during our last night.

Lastly, what’s a winter trip without a pool and a hot tub? You bet we took advantage of that.

2. Food Options

On the way to Mammoth, we stopped in Big Pine for a bite.

We chose Cooper Top BBQ because of their awesome Yelp reviews and the food did not disappoint.

Owned by a family team (just like us!) of son and father, we were treated to delicious, mouth-watering barbecue at an affordable price.

Highly recommended as a pit stop for food either on the way to Mammoth or on the way back home!

During our stay in Mammoth, we mostly grubbed at the diners located in the village.

On the day that we left, we ate at The Stove Restaurant for some good ol’ classic American breakfast meal.

Big portions, coffee, prime rib hash, family-friendly environment.

What else can be better?

3. Woolly’s Tube Park and Snow Play

Because this is the first time Nick and Ryan played in snow, we decided to give them the full experience by visiting Wolly’s Tube Park.

At first, the kids were hesitant and scared. Nick almost flaked on this experience.

But once he saw how much fun Ryan had during his first run, he was all in.

The fun only got more fun when we all came together with our tubes to do a “family” run.

See the video below to see us in full on tubing action!

Of course, they finished their snow play with a cup of warm, hot cocoa.

Smiles all around.

Mammoth is a great destination for a family winter get away.

There are lots of fun activities for the whole family including tubing, gondola rides and of course snow in the winter.

We had a great time as a family and created memories that we will never forget.

What is Glaucoma?

20 February, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

Eye Care

no responses

This stat is crazy; glaucoma affects more than 2.7 million people who are over 40 years old in the U.S.

It’s also the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the U.S.

You can imagine why people worry about this eye disease.

What’s even more scary, glaucoma does not present with any visual symptoms until the very late stages of the disease.

As explained in my last blog post, bad vision does not mean unhealthy eyes. Meaning someone can see 20/20 vision and still have glaucoma.

So what exactly is this mystery eye disease called glaucoma? Let us explain.

1. the cord is not working

The optic nerve is the communication cord that connects your eyeball to your brain, kind of like how the cord of a video game controller connects to the gaming console.

In healthy eyes, the optic nerve (or cord) transfers visual information from our eyes to the brain, giving us the perception vision that is a complete picture.

Think about glaucoma as the eye problem that damages this cord, sort of like the picture above. Because the cord is damaged, less visual information is transferred to the brain.

When less visual information is transferred to the brain, what you see is less too, specifically your visual field.

2. loss of side vision

If the saying is true, a picture is worth a thousand words, then someone who has side vision loss because of glaucoma, their picture is worth less than a thousand words.

But what does mean?

Check out the picture above, the more advanced (or more damage to the optic nerve/cord) the problem, the less side vision.

If untreated, glaucoma can damage and destroy the whole cord, meaning no visual information is transferred to the brain.

In that situation, blindness occurs. We do not ever want to SEE a situation like this (pun totally intended.)

3. who gets glaucoma?

When I think of glaucoma a song comes to mind.

“Pressure, pushing down on me, pressing down on you…” are the lyrics from the song “Under Pressure” by Queen (BTW if you don’t know who they are, I am mad disappointed).

Commonly known as the eye pressure disease, glaucoma can occur to other risk factors including:

high eye pressures (just mentioned)
a family history of glaucoma (ex: a parent that has glaucoma)
age 60 and older
thin cornea (front of the eye)
high amounts of nearsightedness

Note that eye injuries and certain medications can increase the risk for glaucoma too.

In conclusion, Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve (cord) which causes side vision loss.

It’s a scary eye problem because once side vision loss happens, there is no way to reverse the damage.

The good news is this, if detected early, progression of this problem can be halted.

Like any problem in life or with our eyes, early detection is key to prevent further damage.

3 Secrets for Healthy Eyes in 2020

30 January, 2020 Dr. Steven Soong

Eye Care

no responses

A friend’s mom recently came in her for annual eye exam. She complained about blurry vision.

She had stopped using her cell phone and iPad because she thought electronic devices was the reason for her bad vision. On top of that, she had deep concerns that something was “wrong” with the health of her eyes.

So you can imagine she was shocked when I told her she had healthy eyes. She proceeded to ask, “But why am I seeing so blurry?”

“It’s because your glasses prescription has changed and you need new glasses with an updated prescription to see better,” I said.

Then she posed an interesting question to me, “So my assumption is wrong? My bad vision doesn’t mean I have unhealthy eyes?”

Yup. That is a false assumption.

Bad vision does not mean unhealthy eyes. These are two completely different concepts. Let me explain.

Bad vision, like nearsightedness, astigmatism or farsightedness, is correctable with glasses, contact lenses or even LASIK surgery. These vision problems do not correlate with unhealthy eyes.

Eye health problems are related to eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma or macular degeneration.

Unhealthy eyes can certainly be the reason for bad vision and could sometimes be permanent. Scary.

So how do we keep our precious eyes healthy?

Good question, it’s actually very simple. Here are 3 tips for healthy eyes in 2020.

1. eat well

“You are what you eat.”

It’s true. Our body, including our eyes, are a reflection of what we put into our stomachs.

For example, diabetes (specifically type 2) is a body condition in which there is improper regulation of the movement in sugar. Complications of diabetes can affect major organs such as your heart, blood vessels and of course your eyes.

Personally, I have come across many cases where patients had significant vision loss due to diabetic complications to their eyes. Unfortunately, for most, the vision loss was permanent.

To avoid such eye health complications, eating healthy is the first step.

Consider eating foods with high fiber content such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Avoid consistently eating foods with high sugar, fat and calories.

Changing our diet is hard. Food is cultural, it’s also habitual.

But for healthy eyes, and more importantly, a healthy body that holds up well against time, it’s definitely an investment worth making.

Tip #1 was written with Bright Vision Optometry’s very own eyewear stylist, Michael in mind.

Michael has been eating vegan (brusselin’) since the start of 2020.

2. sleep well

“Sleep is the best meditation.”

One of the most underrated factor for healthy eyes is sleep.

Good sleep is a key player in our general health and well being. Sleep helps our bodies including our eyes, repair, regenerate and recover.

Numerous studies have shown the importance of good sleep including benefits such as lower weight gain risk, better calorie regulation, greater athletic performance and lower risk of heart disease.

But what does good sleep mean?

It can be generally defined as sleeping 7 or more hours without waking in the middle of the night.

For good sleep, create a routine where you are sleeping around the same time each night. Consider exercise (see tip #3) as a sleep aid.

Tip #2 was written in dedication to my wife Elaine. Shout out to her ultra-consistent 8 hours of sleep per night.

3. exercise consistently

“When mind, body and spirit are in harmony, happiness is the natural result.”

Anybody and everybody can benefit from consistent exercise.

The benefits of regular exercise have been proven and it include the following; enhance mood, help maintain weight loss, boosts energy, promotes better sleep (see tip #2) and combats health conditions such as high blood pressure, depression and diabetes. If you ask me, all of these benefits promote healthy eyes.

Reducing your overall stress is important for your health and well being.

Physical exercise is just one part of the equation. The mind and the spirit could also benefit from exercises of their own.

Consider setting a weekly routine for regular exercise.

Join a community such as a running or walking club for accountability. Take classes such as yoga or start with meditation.

“The hardest thing about exercise is to start doing it. once you are doing exercise regularly, the hardest thing is to stop it.”

Tip #3 was written as motivation for myself. Go play some basketball dude, stop being a lazy bum.

Maintaining healthy eyes is just that simple.

In short, by setting good habits and routines for healthy living, you are protecting your eyes from degradation and aging.

Eat well, sleep well and exercise consistently will not only help with your eyes, but also your general well-being and happiness.

If you are still reading all the way down to here, a big THANK YOU for reading this whole blog.

Thank you for everything, Mr. Bryant.

my past halloweens (pictures)

27 October, 2019 Dr. Steven Soong

no responses

I believe the spirit of Halloween exemplifies the best of our human imagination.

For one day out of the year, we can be anyone or anything we want.

Kinda fun, don’t you think?

See our office Halloween decorations on YouTube: CLICK HERE

For your viewing pleasure, here are 5 pictures from my past halloweens.

Just look at these two, one guy is a dinosaur (that’s me) and the other guy is clearly Antoine Dodson.

In case you don’t know about internet sensation Antoine Dodson, now you know.

Thank me later.

Me with my nephews Nick and Ryan.

You know who has the wildest imaginations? Yup, kids.

In 2017 for Halloween, there were 2 Spidermans in our little family universe and 1 very cute ghost.

Nick trying to throw the peace out sign though. Good try.

During college, a huge influence for me was rap music.

One of my favorite rappers at the time was Lil Wayne (check out T-Pain next to me).

In case you were wondering, I don’t have “CASHMONEY” tattoo’ed on stomach. We used sharpies.

Then for some weird reason rapper Soulja Boy was hot and trending.

My college friends and I? We got infatuated. So much that we all wanted to Soulja Boy for Halloween.

Yeah. That’s all I am going to say about that.

This picture is special.

This is a throwback picture of me and my wife on our first Halloween as a couple.

I was the lucky fisherman who caught the baddest (coolest) shark in the pond.

Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

So close your eyes and imagine.

Who would you want to be Halloween this year?

This year, for me, you’ll float too.

Happy Halloween!

why i listen to this morning music playlist everyday

30 September, 2019 Dr. Steven Soong

Community

no responses

Everyone has their own morning rituals or routines. Here’s one of my favorites that I would like to share. Why do I listen to this morning music playlist everyday?

Because my morning playlist helps me get into the right mindset to tackle my day, everyday.

My morning music playlist is composed of just 5 songs (a total of 17 minutes and 37 seconds).

Just a warning, there are some songs with curse words. Earmuffs, kids!

Let’s start with the first song.

Empire Of The Sun – Alive

For song lyrics and explanation of lyric meanings: CLICK HERE

Energy. Excitement. Eye related!

Have you ever felt like you’re just floating through your Monday thru Friday routine? Do you sometimes feel like a robot, doing the same thing over and over again?

The reason this song is the first on my morning music playlist is because it reminds me that I’m someone that’s actually ALIVE and there are so many wonderful things that you can do when you feel ALIVE.

There’s a line in the song that goes, “LOST MY EYE SIGHT, CAN’T YOU HELP ME SEE?”

Like seriously? Yes, I can. Welcome to Bright Vision Optometry! LOL.

This song is especially energizing after a big cup of coffee. But be careful with that combination, you might just find yourself dancing like a fool.

The next song gets a little deep.

Asher Roth – G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It’s A New Day)

For song lyrics and explanation of lyric meanings: CLICK HERE

Listen to song and it will bring you wisdom. If you listen carefully that is. But don’t worry if you can’t keep up with the smooth, rhythmic flows of Asher Roth, NBD, I’ll highlight the important messages for you here, right now.

Why do I listen to this as the second song of my morning music playlist?

Because of the it helps me understand that we are all equal, everyone/everything on this earth.

Because it helps me get in the mindset to put in the work to get to where I want to be.

Because it helps me believe in myself. Because it helps me be grateful for everything that I have.

Here’s some sample of some wisdom that Asher Roth drops,

“Bout time to change a few things
We enslaved to the bank and we only wanna buy new shoes
The way that we think
We can do anything that we really wanna put our minds too…”

If you can find truths in this song, your ability to be happy will have leveled up.

“…it’s not about fame, and fortune
It’s about believing and believing in yourself
And understanding that this life is life
It’s liberty and the pursuit of happiness
And happiness isn’t about getting what you want all the time
It’s about loving what you have
So get ready it’s a new day…”

How can you not feel some-type-of-way after listening to this song? Seriously.

Nujabes – Feather

For song lyrics and explanation of lyric meanings: CLICK HERE

If you have never heard of Nujabes, I am glad to be the one introducing you to this musical legend.

When his jazzy, lo-fi, hip-hop productions reaches my ears, his music helps me get into this super relaxed, spiritual, meditative and peaceful state.

A good friend and patient of ours at Bright Vision Optometry, let’s call him Mr. H2cominthru, introduced me a really cool and effective breathing technique called the Wim Hof breathing.

So while listening to this song Feathers, this is where I practice breathing deeply. Deep In and then deep out (yup, just like them burgers). It’s like this song is a catalyst for me to detox and release unnecessary stress on my mind and body.

After listening to this song, I am reminded to breath deeply through out my day.

I am calm and peaceful. No one can stress me out. hehe.

J. Cole – Love Yourz

For song lyrics and explanation of lyric meanings: CLICK HERE

“No such thing as a life better than yours…”

I put this masterpiece by J. Cole into my morning music playlist because it helps me see my life in a completely different perspective.

Seeing the world with 20/20 vision is cool and all but if you can see the world with perspectives, that’s seeing with your third eye.

More importantly, while listening to this song, I think about the special people in my family like my sister.

I think about my awesome friends that are in my life. I think about my mom (you guys, she’s a like goddess).

There are so many distractions in this world that can pull your energy from your loved ones.

So just remember to love yourz.

Bas – Tribe with J.Cole

For song lyrics and explanation of lyric meanings: CLICK HERE

“This one is for you.”

And the last song on my morning music playlist is a song dedicated to my wife.

Why? That’s TMI.

Let’s just say she makes me feel like the happiest person alive.

So that was it, my morning music playlist and why I listen everyday.

I played this mix everyday, in the same order from top down. Usually while I am driving to work.

Remember, the radio plays what “they” want you to hear. Just saying.

And don’t copy me.

I encourage you to create your own morning music playlist that will help you be the best you for your day.

If you liked this blog post, it would mean so much to me if you shared.

Thank you and have a great day.

Cheers!
