A special free seminar on cataract surgery and eye health will be held on October 29th, at 7:30pm at the Griffiths Memorial Centre. This event is hosted by Dr. Charles Boulet and Diamond Valley Vision Care in Black Diamond. Refreshments will be served. Only 100 seats available. You must call 403-933-5552 to reserve seats, but the event is free. All people from the Foothills are invited to attend.
There are three parts to the program which will last about an hour total. The first part will be a brief presentation about primary eye care and the services available in your community.
Then, one of the leading cataract and corneal surgeons in the Calgary region will give a presentation on corneal surgery. Dr. Ahmed Al-Ghoul is an ophthalmic surgeon, sub-specialized in cornea and anterior segment surgery.
In the last part of the evening's program, the floor will be open to anyone who has a concern or questions regarding eye health, cataract surgery or any other topic of interest relating to eye health.
Dr. Al-Ghoul's office is located in south central Calgary, where he sees a number of patients co-managed at Diamond Valley Vision Care. Through use of the Internet and digital technology, Dr. Boulet is able to manage your care with Dr. Al-Ghoul. Patients don't have to make so many trips to Calgary for pre- and post-operative care for things like: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Detachments and many other conditions. This is all now available in Black Diamond to the people of the region. Diamond Valley Vision Care also provides on-site care for those who cannot make it to the clinic. These are simple ways in which health care dollars are stretched and more people receive the care they need.
In the next of issue of the Gazette we will expand on this free seminar and the participants.

PBA is one of the organization which help through their advocacy regarding visual problems specially with kids. Moreover, Arizona eye care specializes in different eye problems like cataracts which is part of your seminar. For those who missed the said seminar may take note of some of the things that we should know about this kind of eye problems. Cataracts are usually gradual and usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they become extremely advanced. Rapid and/or painful changes in vision are suspicious for other eye diseases and should be evaluated by an eye-care professional.
