A Message from Our NYC Chapter Chair
|

Hopefully, by the time you read this, Spring actually will have arrived!
With Spring comes Spring cleaning. A few years ago, as I was cleaning, I noticed my white walls had become dingy. I dreaded having to paint. Then I visited my ophthalmologist for a routine exam and was told I needed cataract surgery. Arriving home after the first surgery, voila! My walls were bright white! If things look dingy or less sharp, read Rona Cherry's article on Cataract Surgery. It's clear as day!
And, of course, Amy Epstein's blog about quick energy boosts is both entertaining and informative. Also if the sun ever shows up again, "Sun Screen FAQ's" will be very helpful.
Finally, enjoy the tips about free events in the City, and don't forget to....
Have a Great Day!

I read with some interest an article in the December 2016/January 2017 issue of AARP's The Magazine.

I am always seduced with the prospect of a "fast fix" and even better if it improves my health and sense of well-being. Plus, the AARP had some "cred", to use common slang.
The article listed 21 recommendations. However, I'm just going to pass along the first two...

Sixty-percent of patients are having back-to-back operations on both eyes.
When I was growing up,
my mother told me a story about a friend who had cataract surgery in the early 1960s. It sounded like a nightmare. Removing the cataract-a cloudy lens on the eye that is normally transparent-meant stitches, a two-week hospital stay laying flat in a darkened room with her head immobilized by sandbags. It took her months to recover and then she had to wear thick "Coke bottle" glasses to make up for her lost optical power.
With that in mind, imagine my surprise in discovering how different cataract surgery is today.

Who needs sunscreen?
Everyone. Sunscreen use can help prevent skin cancer by protecting you from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of age, gender or race.
In fact, it is estimated that one in five Americans will develo
p skin cancer in their lifetime.
What sunscreen should I use?
