The first telescope implant is now becoming available in Connecticut as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for patients suffering from advanced Macular Degeneration. Charlie Collins, founder of Vision Dynamics is partnering with Dr. Randolph Kinkade, an optometrist and founding member of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, is part of the newly forming CentraSight Treatment Program in Connecticut.

| Implant Miniature Telescope |
The Implanted Miniature Telescope (IMT) is an FDA-approved medical device for enhancing vision and improving quality of life. As a legally blind man with Macular Degeneration, these advancements really excite me!

The IMT is not a cure for macular degeneration. It will not return vision to 20/20, but it will improve quality of life. It will improve the quality of life by 3 times. How? It magnifies your world bringing objects, people, and printed materials 3 times closer!
The telescope allows smaller detailed objects to be more visible. Telescopes minify the blind spot (scotoma) created in macular degeneration. It does this by reducing the size of the blind spot relative to the new magnified image.

The implanted telescope does restrict the peripheral vision in the eye. The other eye helps compensate for the loss in side vision. New scanning eye movements become necessary.
Even if a patient is not a candidate for the implantable telescope they very well may be a candidate for miniature telescopes mounted into a pair of glasses. Spectacle Minature Telescopes (SMTs) have been shown to improve vision and improve quality of life for patients with all stages of macular degeneration.

Patients must meet certain age, vision, corneal health and anterior chamber depth measurements to be eligible for the implant. Patients cannot drive with the implant.
Call Vision Dynamics at (203)-271-1944 to see if you or someone you know may be a candidate for the Implanted Miniature or Spectacle Miniature Telescope. We have offices throughout Connecticut as well.

In comparison, the sound quality of the Apple In-Ear Headphones is definitely not as rich as the Heartbeats, which fills your ears with music and even the bass reproduction was better with the Heartbeats ( even though I still think its subpar to where it could have been). A clean home is the best setting for Thanksgiving dinner.
It might matter, mainly for your first employer.

Unlike surgery which is necessarily an invasive procedure that inevitably carries some risk, Can-C Eyedrops are non-invasive, . In addition, you don't have to be extremely conscious of your body shape and your breast. I had never owned a Mac before that. [url=http://www.promkleidde.com/]mori lee prom dresses[/url]
