2011 Police Unity Tour

The fact that Matossian Eye Associates’ staff works so well together is no accident. We put a lot of effort into teambuilding at MEA, including activities outside the office designed to build rapport among staff and doctors. We have planned our Spring Teambuilding Event at the Philadelphia International Flower March 12, 2011. Later this month, March 19, 2011, we are scheduled to go to the Vision Expo in New York City. These are great times for staff to bring family members and get to know each other in a relaxed and fun setting. We have numerous other activities throughout the year, including potluck lunches and wine and cheese sessions when we’re not on the clock. That’s why you see such a professional team when you visit MEA!

Specific lots (Expiration dates: February 2011 through August 2012) were tested and showed that the preservative lost its effectiveness before the expiration date. There have been no reports of adverse side effects for Soothe Xtra Protection (XP); the company has decided to voluntarily recall ALL lots in the interest of patient safety. Not only have Bausch + Lomb contacted eye care professionals as well as the FDA to alert them of the recall, but it is also conducting an ongoing investigation to determine why these specific lots were out of shelf-life specification.

Last Tuesday evening, March 2, 2011, Cynthia Matossian, MD was invited to do a presentation for local Allergists and optometrists on Bepreve. This allergy eye drop has been approved by the FDA to relive intense ocular itching that affects over 60 to 90 million Americans during the allergy season.

Matossian Eye Associates is always finding ways to improve their website for the benefit of their patients. Increased vision is our specialty and now you can view the most current ophthalmic techniques available, and up-to-the-minute patient resource information, it in different sizes.
