Eyewear is not crafted equally. Every frame in our collection is carefully selected to reflect the standards of our office. We are intentional about the designers we partner with and the origins of every piece we carry. Each frame must meet our expectations for craftsmanship, fit, alignment, material quality & asthetic refinement. We choose artisans who dedicate the time and attention necessary to create eyewear that not only looks exceptional, but also feels comfortable & wears properly. Because our eyewear represents our clinic, we professionally inspect and monitor every piece to ensure that it meets our standards. Visit our office and experience the difference for yourself.

Inflammatory Diets May Contribute to Glaucoma, Research Says

Notable findings included a 35% higher risk of developing the disease and a greater prevalence among patients with obesity.

The authors assessed diet using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), which quantifies the inflammatory potential of an individual’s diet based on nutrient intake collected through questionnaires. The DII incorporates macronutrients, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds such as caffeine and alcohol. Higher DII scores indicated a more proinflammatory diet.

Patients were divided into thirds based on their DII scores, and the authors stated within the study that participants within the top third by DII “demonstrated a 35% elevated risk probability for glaucoma compared to those in the lowest” group. Subgroup analysis also showed stronger associations in certain populations. Men had a 48% higher risk, patients with diabetes had a 56% higher risk and those with obesity had a 66% higher risk when comparing highest to lowest DII groups.
