Diabetes and Eye Health

geteyesmart.org — “Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin effectively to control blood sugar (glucose) levels. Too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause damage in many parts of the body, including the small blood vessels in the eyes. When the blood vessels in the eye’s retina swell, leak or close off completely — or if abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina — it is called diabetic retinopathy.View full resource at geteyesmart.org

Education & Training
After graduating with top honors from the University of Southern California (USC), he received the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship to attend Harvard Medical School. While in medical school, he accepted a research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health to study visual cognition. Dr. Richardson then completed an internal medicine internship at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, which was followed by ophthalmology training at LAC+USC/Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles – one of the top ophthalmology residencies in the country.

Experience & Specialization
Dr. Richardson joined the San Gabriel Valley Eye Associates in 1999 and became San Gabriel’s first ophthalmologist to use such modern technologies as the accommodating Crystalens (with cataract surgery) and the iTrack microcatheter (canaloplasty glaucoma surgery).   Dr. Richardson is among an elite group of glaucoma specialists in the country performing the highly specialized canaloplasty procedure. Patients have traveled from as far away as Mumbai, India to have canaloplasty by Dr. Richardson.

Dr. Richardson not only performs canaloplasty, he also teaches other surgeons how to do so.  As one of the leading canaloplasty surgeons he regularly gives talks at the national meetings of eye surgeons.  As part of his quest to make this safer glaucoma surgery available to glaucoma patients throughout the world, he is often asked to fly out to teach individual doctors how best to incorporate canaloplasty into their practices.  Dr. Richardson was recently included among a panel of respected glaucoma surgeons whose goal was to find ways to make it easier for other eye surgeons to learn how to perform canaloplasty.  You can read what this panel had to say here.

- Daily Dose: A Boston Globe blog with health news, advice, and information.

boston.com — “Wouldn’t it be nice to know how many calories are on your plate by snapping a photo of the meal and having your phone spit back a tally? That’s what Harvard engineering students were trying to develop in a software program called PlateMate. They developed a method of using crowd-sourcing to instantly estimate portions and identify foods on a plate, information that can then be fed into a software program to estimate the number of calories. But will it help you eat better?View full resource at boston.com

Can those sharks see you? Yes, they can!

drryo.com — “The anatomy of a sharks’ eye is much like ours. Like us – and unlike most fish – sharks have the ability to open and close their pupils to accommodate different light situations. Most sharks also have a cornea, iris, lens and a retina complete with rod and cone cells, which means they can see color and detail. And, like cats, sharks’ eyes have a mirror-like layer in the back of the eye called the tapetum lucidum, which enhances their light sensitivity, making it ten times better than ours.View full resource at drryo.com

Are Your Cholesterol Levels Normal? | The Diabetes Club - Digg

digg.com — “Making sure your cholesterol levels are normal is very important. That is because cholesterol can lead to blood clots that interfere with regular blood flow in your arteries and in the blood vessels of your brain. But if you are diabetic, keeping an eye on your cholesterol levels is even more important because as you know, high levels of glucose in the blood damage the walls of the arteries, causing cholesterol to stick to them and to form plaque.View full resource at digg.com
