>> ESTIMATED 93 MILLION ADULTS IN THE U.S. HAVE A HIGH RISK FOR SERIOUS VISION LOSS. BUT ONLY HAVE VISITED AN EYE DOCTOR IN THE PAST YEAR. A GREAT WAY TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTH IS BY GOING TO A SPECIALIST LIKE CAMERON'S VISION. AND THIS MORNING WE HAVE DOCTOR JESSICA CAMERON FROM CAMERON'S VISION IN THE CAPE. GETTING US SOME MORE ON HOW WE CAN KEEP OUR EYES IN TIP TOP SHAPE. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME. CONGRATULATIONS. IT'S A RELATIVELY NEW PRACTICE. YES, JUST OPENED IN JUNE LAST YEAR. THAT'S GREAT. AND IN A GREAT LOCATION THERE IN THE CAPE OFF A DEL PRADO. YES, VERY BUSY AREA. OKAY. SO SO I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SPECIALIZING. IT SAYS HERE IN OCULAR DISEASE AND LOW VISION. SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN AND WHAT TYPE OF PATIENTS WOULD YOU BE LOOKING FOR FOR? SO I SEE GENERALLY, EVERYONE AGES 5 AND >> BUT WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE OCULAR DISEASE, I HAVE TESTING IN IMAGING CAPABILITY TO MANAGE AND MONITOR THOSE DISEASES. BUT THEN WHEN INDIVIDUALS GET TO A POINT WHERE THEY'VE EXHAUSTED ANY KIND OF SURGICAL OPTION, EXHAUSTED MEDICAL THERAPY AND THE OCULAR DISEASE STARTS TO AFFECT THEIR ACTUAL PRIMARY USABLE ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING IS DOUBLE VISION. THAT'S WHEN THEY SEE SOMEONE LIKE ME. AND I TRY TO MAXIMIZE THEIR VISION WITH EITHER VISUAL AIDS. A SPECIAL 2 PAIR OF GLASSES TENSE DIGITAL MAGNA FIRES AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR INDEPENDENCE. >> WE THINK A LOT OF YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT WE HAVE EYE PROBLEMS ALL THE TIME. BUT WE FORGET THAT SOMETIMES CHILDREN DO TOO. I KNOW MY DAUGHTER WENT TO THE GLASS. IS IT THE GAUGE 6? YOU SEE YOUNG PATIENTS, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED YET IS RARE. >> YES, I WELL, I'M A MOTHER. SO I HAVE A YEAH. SO I LOVE SEEING KIDS. THEY CAN. THEY CAN BE A LOT. BUT IT'S IT'S A LOT OF FUN. >> AT WHAT AGE SHOULD WE AS PARENTS BE THINKING ABOUT TAKING KIDS AND TO GET THERE FIRST, I PEDIATRICIANS DOING WHO DESERVE REASON. WE WOULD NEED TO GO TO SPECIALIST OR DIE. DOCTORS SPECIFICALLY. >> OF COURSE, IF YOU EVER SEE ANY SQUINTING THAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING OR AND I TURNED, THAT WOULD BE AN EARLY INDICATOR THAT THEY NEED TO GO IN AND SEE SOMEONE SPECIALIST. BUT USUALLY WHEN THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT OLDER, IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW THEIR GRADES ARE IN OTHER TENSION RATE IN SCHOOL. AND THEN SOMETIMES THEY COME TO ME AND >> YOU KNOW, THEY JUST NEEDED A LITTLE BIT OF HELP. THE CAN'T THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW SOMETIME. YES, WHEN IT COMES TO OLDER PATIENTS, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF BREAKTHROUGHS AS WELL THE OPTIONS FOR SOME FINDING OUT EVERY TIME I GO TO THE EYE, DOCTOR THAT THERE'S SOMETHING NEW. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE HORIZON THAT WOULD BE A BIG HELP TO ALL OF US. >> WELL, DRY EYES, A REALLY HOT TOPIC. YEAH. AFFECTS EVERYONE NOW EVEN NICE TO BE A DISEASE THAT WE ARE PRIMARILY SEEING 50 AND UP RIGHT NOW. IT'S YOUNGER GENERATION FEEL LIKE IT'S BECAUSE OF OUR DID TO DIGITAL SOCIETY REALLY TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME. NOT ENOUGH BLINKING. NOT ENOUGH ARREST FOR THE EYES. SO REALLY THE HORIZONS VERY BIG WHEN IT COMES TO DRY. I KNEW MEDICATIONS ARE COMING OUT REALLY EVERY YEAR. I WISH THAT COULD BE SAID ABOUT ALL OF THE AVENUES OF THE EYE AND I HEALTH. BUT THAT'S PRIMARILY THE HOT TOPIC RIGHT NOW. AND STILL WHAT ARE SOME OF THE >> BIGGEST MISTAKES THAT PEOPLE MAKE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR EYE HEALTH AND THINGS THAT COULD HAVE LASTING IMPRESSIONS. >> WELL, NOT WEARING SOME PROTECTION, RIGHT? SO FOR THE CRESCENT A RIGHT, AS IS FLORIDA, PLEASE WEAR SUN PROTECTION, NOT JUST THE ONES FROM LIKE WALGREENS. IT LIKE REAL ONES. SO YEAH, GOOD POLARIZATION IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU'RE BOATING PERSON, KNOW OUT ON THE WATER. THAT'S EXTRA GLARE OFF THE WATER. THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING IS TAKING CARE AND GETTING CHECKED. WHEN YOU WEAR CONTACTS, YOU KNOW, NOT ABUSING YOUR YOUR PRIVILEGE OF WEARING CONTACTAR MAKING SURE I STAY HEALTHY SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO WEAR THEM I WAS WEARING GLASSES AS THEY NOT. THERE WAS CONTACT RELATED AND I MADE THE MISTAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO. THERE'S THOSE EXTENDED WHERE ONES AND YOU THINK YOU CAN WEAR THEM FOR A LONG TIME. BUT >> IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S DANGERS OUT THERE. A LOT OF US. I KNOW MAYBE AREN'T AWARE. SO TRY TO LET YOU KNOW, DON'T GO THROUGH WHAT I DID. HOW LONG CAN YOU WEAR THESE EXTENDED WEARS SAFELY? >> SO THE FDA DOES APPROVE OF ABOUT 3 OR 4 BRANDS FOR EXTENDED WEAR. AND THAT MEANS WEARING INTO WHERE YOU WOULD SLEEP IN THE LENS. AND I STILL ADVISE, YOU KNOW, I WOULD NEVER CONSISTENTLY OR CONDONE CONSISTENT. WE'RE 30 DAYS STRAIGHT. I ALWAYS SAY YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LENS OUT. YOU HAVE TO CLEAN AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BUILDUP OF YOUR OWN TISSUE THAT CAN DEVELOP ONTO THE CONTACT LENS AND THAT CAN MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE OR CAN SCRATCH OR I MAKE A SMALL OPENING TO HAVE AN INFECTION. BUT REALLY IT'S SLEEPING IN A LENS AND WEARING AN EXTENDED. WHERE DOES INCREASE YOUR RISK BY 5 FOLD FOR AN INFECTION? SOME PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAVE AN AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHERS. IT TAKES ONE TIME YET TO HAVE AN ULCER OR INFECTION. THAT LEAVES A SCAR IN THE CENTER OF YOUR VISION. AND THEN YOU HAVE COMPROMISED VISION YOUR WHOLE LIFE. SO TO ME, I'M CAUTIOUS. LIKE THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, I WOULD TRY TO STEER AWAY FROM WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE OPTIONS, SURGICAL OPTIONS. THERE'S A PART OF THE LENS OPERATION. ASIDE FOR JUST LASIK, THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS OUT THERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE. >> YES, I I'M AN OPTOMETRIST. SO I DON'T FALL INTO THAT ROLE BUT I DO WORK ALONGSIDE OPHTHALMOLOGIST, BUT I WOULD LEAVE THOSE QUESTIONS, THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST BECAUSE SITE THAT'S VERY SPECIFIC THING. SURE. THEIR AND THEIR FUTURES ALSO ALWAYS CHANGING. IT'S VERY DYNAMIC SURGERY. OPTIONS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING BAN ON TOM INTEREST. I KNOW OUR EYES ARE ALWAYS CHANGING. SPEAKING OF IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HIT THAT 40 OVER MARK. >> IT'S VERY OUT OF THIS AND CAN'T SEE THIS. ARE THERE OPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T, YOU KNOW THAT HAVE THE KIND OF SPLIT VISION IF YOU WILL, OR NEAR AND YEAH. SO I THINK CONTACT LENSES THAT MY OFFICE. >> THERE'S ALSO A DROPPED CALL VIEW THAT IS JUST A ONCE A DAY. YOU DROP IT IN THE EYES AND MOST PEOPLE CAN SEE. YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS DISTANCE COMFORTABLY, REALLY, BUT ONLY UP TO SO MANY YEARS. OKAY, I MYSELF JUST RECENTLY PUT AN AD IN MY GLASSES AS WELL. I CAN FEEL THAT STRAIN IT AND I REALLY THOUGHT I WASN'T GOING TO LIKE IT IT'S GOING TO TURN THE LENSES. AND HARRY, I'M STILL WEARING A SUIT. LOOKS GREAT ON. TROUBLE. THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.
