Extern Program at Matossian Eye Associates
Matossian Eye Associates (MEA) if offering students at Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU) an opportunity to explore the ever-expanding roles of a physician within health care. The program is designed to provide those interested in medicine a first-hand clinical experience to assist students in making a career choice.
Externs will be exposed to all aspects of MEA’s integrated ophthalmology/optometry practice. They will observe routine eye examinations, contact lens evaluations, cataract consults, emergency visits, glaucoma and retina exams and will be given an overview on the ophthalmic testing and images related to the varying exams. The OWU students will also work with the administrative and marketing staff, and be given time to speak with the doctors who will be able to provide insight on work/life balance issues in medicine. They will also have an opportunity to observe ophthalmic surgery in the OR. Posted on: Tuesday, February 26, 2013

Cynthia Matossian Lectures at the Caribbean Eye Meeting
Cynthia Matossian, MD participated as a lecturer at this year’s American College of Eye Surgeons and the Society for Excellence in Eyecare’sCaribbean Eye Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Dr. Matossian discussed the results of a clinical study she conducted in 2012. The study which looked at “Visual Outcomes in Patients with ‘Blended Vision’ with a Mini MonoApproach Using Bilaterally Implanted Softec HD Intra Ocular Lens (IOL)”, determined that the Softec HD IOL provides excellent distance, intermediate and near vision when implanted bilaterally using a blended vision approach.
The Caribbean Eye meeting is held annually and provides Ophthalmologists an opportunity to hear from industry leaders about the latest advances in their chosen specialties. Posted on: Friday, January 04, 2013

With the time of year for skiing and snowboarding upon us, it is important to remember your eyes require special protection during these times. The sun's rays can be just as damaging in winter as in summer. During sunny or overcast days, eyewear is required to block harmful UV rays, up to 85% of which can be reflected off snow. UV rays can cause snow blindness, a sunburn of the eye's surface, and can increase the formation of certain eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Impact resistant eyewear will also protect the eyes from injuries due to branches or falls. Look for goggles that are polarized with 100% UV protection.

Risk Factors for Incident Cortical, Nuclear, Posterior Subcapsular, and Mixed Lens Opacities:
The Los Angeles Latino Eye Study shows that better management of diabetes and not smoking may lower the risk of developing nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular lens opacities (cataracts).
Of the 3471 participants with gradable lenses in the same eye at baseline and 4-year follow-up, 200 (5.8%) had incident nuclear-only opacities, 151 (4.1%) had incident cortical-only opacities, 16 (0.5%) had incident PSC-only lens opacities, and 88 (2.5%) had mixed lens opacities. Independent baseline risk factors for incident nuclear-only lens opacities included older age, current smoking, and presence of diabetes. Independent risk factors for incident cortical-only lens opacities included older age and having diabetes at baseline. Female gender was an independent risk factor for incident PSC-only lens opacities. Older age and presence of diabetes at baseline examination were independent risk factors for incident mixed lens opacities. Specifically, in diabetics, higher levels of hemoglobin A1c was associated with greater risk for 4-year incident nuclear-only, cortical-only and mixed lens opacities.
Improved diabetic control and smoking prevention may reduce the risk of developing lens opacities. Understanding both modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors provides insight into the development of lens opacification.
