Depending on where you live, this recommendation may actually be a requirement prior to entering a business or establishment. It is absolutely the requirement at Seeta Eye Center – both for patients and staff.

Newborns, while possessed with the full visual capacity to see objects and colors, can only see 8-15 inches away. Over time, distance vision improves, as does the development of color vision, allowing babies with healthy vision to see the world with more clarity right around four months.

The ophthalmological periodical Ocular Surgery News (OSN) recently released its Premier Surgeon 300, a list of leading innovators in the field of refractive cataract surgery.

The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) is one of the leading organizations behind many recent advances in eye surgery technology. At the annual symposium for the ASCRS, Seeta Eye Care Centers' own Highland ophthalmologist Dr. Satish S. Modi gave a presentation on a new type of intraocular lens that has the potential to help millions of patients with cataracts who are thinking of undergoing refractive surgery.
