  • "We barely go to optometrists so when we do, we should look for the best! I am super pleased I chose Dr. Pal\'s office. They were helpful from beginning to end, from booking on the phone to my actual visit. Dr. Pal was very detailed and went in-depth about my eye health. She is very patient and made me feel calm. The optician helped me pick a great pair of glasses, they were genuinely friendly which is a huge bonus."

  • "I have been going to Dr. Pal for several years now. My most recent visit on June 6, 2016 was the best experience there that I have ever had. Firstly, the women on the desk were friendly and efficient - a very good prelude to my examination. Dr. Pal, herself, was, as usual, very thorough and encouraging in her examination. And she puts you at ease before we get into the eyes examination by discussing other things in life. That helps to ease any stress I may have. And they now have a man in the office who does that difficult examination (name of which I do not know!). He is so patient and encouraging and made the exam not so difficult for me this time. After all that, I saw Dr. Pal again before I left and she told me my eyes were good! Even had the news been not so good, I believe that I would be able to handle it because I truly believe that Dr. Pal and her staff would have taken good care of me. I will always go back to Dr. Pal and members of her team because I truly believe"

  • " I have been to a few appointments at Dr. Pal\'s office over the last year for dry eye issues and every time it has been a very positive experience. The 3 receptionists at the front desk are warm and friendly. They are attentive and provide a very high level of customer service. I appreciate that they call me by name and remembered conversations we had at previous visits. I find Dr. Pal to be an excellent practitioner who is very thorough with her exams, has a lovely personality and takes the time to answer any and all questions that may arise. I am happy with the computer glasses I purchased and value the honest opinions I received from the staff when selecting frames. It was refreshing to have multiple opinions on styles and I felt they truly wanted me to walk out with a frame that was best suited to me. I highly recommend Dr. Pal \'s office! As a health care practitioner myself, I think all health care experiences should be this personilzed and friendly!"

Summer Eye Protection

Summer Eye Protection

Because more people are out and about summer is also the season of eye injuries. Summer is the season of sun outdoor fun fireworks and for those so inclined yard work and home improvement projects. Because more people are out and about summer is also the season of eye injuries. The United States Eye Injury Registry estimates that about 2.4 million eye injuries occur in the U.S. each year and most of them take place during summer. Nearly 1 million Americans have permanent vision impairment due to injury and more than 75 per cent of these people become blind in one eye. That s why July has been declared Eye Injury Prevention Month. So as you begin to enjoy your summer activities doctors urge you to take precautions to make sure your eyes are safe.

Wear eye protection when playing your favourite sports. Baseball and softball account for a surprising amount of eye damage with one in every 20 serious eye injuries related to either of the two sports. A newer sport – paintball – has been blamed for an increasing number of eye injuries. Emergency room visits related to paintball eye injuries have risen dramatically from 545 in 1998 to more than 1 200 in 2000 according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. More than 40 of those injured were children. Paintball injuries can be severe because of the small size and high velocity of the projectiles which can travel up to 300 feet a second. When someone gets hit in the eye it causes severe damage; often the eye is lost. And because the paintballs are small they can slip past the orbit (the bony ridge surrounding the eye socket that protects the eye from injury) and do direct damage. Eye protection is a must when handling a paintball gun even if you re not out on a course. Many paintball injuries occur in the home with people playing with the guns.

Fireworks are another summer attraction that can cause major eye damage. Fireworks-related eye injuries resulted in 1 200 emergency room visits in 2002. Experts recommend going to a public fireworks display rather than setting off fireworks yourself.

Goggles or safety glasses should also be worn whenever you are doing yard work with power equipment. Summer is also the time when home improvement buffs get involved in large projects and renovations. Doctors urge the use of safety glasses tight-fitting goggles or a facemask to ensure that your project doesn t end in disaster. And you should make sure that anyone who s nearby is similarly equipped when you operate a power tool. To further lessen your chances for injury always check for stones twigs or other debris before using lawn equipment. Goggles also should be used when working with household chemicals such as cleaning solutions pool chemicals or garden sprays many of which can burn the eyes delicate tissues. Similar precautions should be used when jump-starting a car – battery acid sparks or debris flying from a damaged battery can cause severe damage.

And of course wear sunglasses that will block ultraviolet light.
