Does My Child Need to Wear Sunglasses?
According to the World Health Organization, 80 percent of children’s UV exposure occurs before turning 18. If this is true, why aren’t more kids wearing sunglasses?

Dr. Solomon appeared to me to be very professional and thorough. However, I did experience a few disappointments, which if addressed, would have made the whole experience a lot more positive. First, during examinations, Dr. Solomon seems to be in a hurry and gave the impression of having little patience for questions. After my first visit, he stood up quickly placed his hand on the door knob, and answered my question tersely. He then deflected my next question to his nurse as if to say he didn’t have time and promptly left the room. I was somewhat dismayed that the price of my surgeries didn’t include a little bed side manner. Secondly, an up front explanation of the process would have been helpful… things like the timing of follow up visits, when should the patient’s eyesight become sufficiently stable to get new glasses if needed, etc.

Outstanding service with lots of respect and caring for me, the patient. Would definitely recommend to others.
