I am pleased to announce that Melamed Eye Care is now a provider for the Rudy Project.  We are now able to get your eyeglasses and sunglasses processed for you through this unique company that specializes in technological eyewear for athletes. Here is a little more about the company in the words of the company.

“For more than 25 years Rudy Project has been committed to technology and technological innovations that offer unique solutions for athletes and weekend warriors. The unquestionable excellence of the Rudy Project line of products is a result of the desire and intuition to continuously create new ideas and to implement them in the form of development activities and quality management, on-going research in the field of materials, a rigorous program of experimentation and testing, and in interactive relationships with the recipients of the finished product. The results are astonishing. The combination of design and professionalism, the merger of aesthetics and materials: the winning mix… Our magic. Our athletes. Our men and women.The stars of the Rudy Project World.

The company does more now, however, than just produce some of the best sunglasses and sports related eyewear in the world. There is a whole new line of products available for athletes. If you would like to have more information on how Melamed Eye Care can help to introduce you to the Rudy Project line, then check out our website for Eyewear.

We have had a lot of new people visit our websites over the last month, as well as our office in the Los Angeles Area. As a result, we have had several questions about whether Melamed Eye Care Accepts Aetna insurance for the service offered at our company. I am more than happy to tell all the people who visit my blog, or my website for the company, that we do accept Aetna Insurance for your vision care needs.

If you have a standard policy for vision from Aetna insurance, or your company uses Aetna as a TPA (third party administrator) then your typical plan should have vision coverage is for routine eye exams, glasses, and contacts. This type  of vision plan takes care of most people’s need for vision care by a Los Angeles Eye Doctor.

If you have an Aetna health care insurance, or PPO insurance, then your plan can cover medical eye visits, red and dry eyes, glaucoma, and other such medically related issues for your eyes. Minor eye injuries, like a corneal abrasion, can also be covered under this type of plan. The big difference here is that the Aetna Vision Plan takes care of the routine things.

If you would like to have more information about Aetna Insurance, and how you can use that with Melamed Eye Care, I invite you to check out our Aetna Insurance Page on Melamed Eye Care.com. Talk to you again soon.

Did you know that it is possible to beat dry eye syndrome with Restasis, a quality product designed to treat dry eyes. Dr. Fouad Melamed, a Los Angeles Eye Doctor, is now carrying Restasis for dry eyes in Los Angeles. Here is a little more information on dry eyes, and what Restasis can do for you.

Dry eye is a condition in which there are insufficient tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. People with dry eyes either do not produce enough tears. Most people who suffer from dry eyes also  have a poor quality of tears. Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in women and older adults, but it is a treatable disease.

With each blink of the eyelids, tears are spread across the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea. Tears provide lubrication, reduce the risk of eye infection, wash away foreign matter in the eye, and keep the surface of the eyes smooth and healthy.

Restasis Prescription eye drops help to increase production of tears, thereby helping to rid people of dry eyes. Restasis can be prescribed by your Los Angeleis optometrist.,  Additional therapy can come from omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplements. The treatment works well with prescription Restatsis. For more information on Restasis, and how Dr. Fouad Melamed can help you treat dry eye syndrome, check out his article on the subject at Melamed Eye Care. You can beat dry eye syndrome with Restasis.
