Countless women have eyelashes that are either too light, too short, or lack fullness. To increase the appearance of their eyelashes, many people opt for fake eyelashes or lengthening mascaras.
However, FDA-approved Latisse™ offers a more permanent solution for eyelash fullness and length. Latisse also treats hypotrichosis, a condition which prevents hair growth.
Easy to use and painless, Latisse is applied to lashes nightly. Within weeks, your lashes will become noticeably fuller, longer, and thicker!
So, what makes Latisse different from other lash-enhancing products? For one thing, Latisse contains an ingredient called bimatoprost, which has been used in the past to treat the eye disease glaucoma. Bimatoprost helps stimulate hair growth on the lashes. Latisse is also the first eyelash-enhancing treatment to be approved by the FDA!
Before applying Latisse, make sure that you have removed all makeup and cosmetic eye products. It is also important to never use the same applicator for both eyes, and never use the same applicator for more than one night! Re-using an applicator could result in an eye infection or allergic reaction.
Latisse may not completely eliminate the need for cosmetic eye products, such as mascara. However, it will help your lashes become thicker, darker, and more youthful-looking. You should see your final results in about 16 weeks.
Although this treatment is safe and offers numerous benefits, Latisse may not be right for everyone. Patients who are pregnant, nursing, or who have previously had skin or eye infections may not be good candidates for Latisse. Ideal candidates are otherwise healthy adult patients who want to improve the appearance of their eyelashes, and have realistic expectations about the results of Latisse.
While side effects are rare, Latisse may have side-effects for some patients. Common side-effects include eye dryness, redness, and itchiness. Other potential side effects may include eyelid darkening and brown pigmentation of the iris. It is important to discuss these side-effects with your doctor, who will determine whether or not Latisse is right for you!
If you’re curious about Latisse™, and would like to learn more about this eyelash enhancing medication, contact us today to schedule a consultation. Our offices are located in Winchester, serving Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. We can be reached at (540) 722-6200. We look forward to meeting you!

Baltimore, MD — According to the latest statistics from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), cataracts affect nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and older. However, Dr. Jay C. Grochmal, a LASIK and cataract surgeon in Baltimore, says with the recent advancements in cataract surgery, patients do not have to let blurring vision hinder their daily life. Dr. Grochmal discusses the latest innovations in refractive-cataract surgery and how they can benefit patients looking to improve their vision.
At his Baltimore cataract surgery practice, Dr. Grochmal says the aging baby boomer population has brought an influx of patients needing vision correction for cataracts and other age-related conditions. Cataracts develop as people get older and are exhibited in a clouding and opaqueness of the natural lens inside one’s eye, causing vision to blur. The AAO report also shows that by age 80, more than half of all Americans will have visually significant cataracts. Dr. Grochmal says while cataracts can be a bothersome medical issue, the good news is that advancements in ophthalmology and surgical techniques have made clear vision an affordable and effective option through cataract surgery.
With procedures such as laser refractive cataract surgery on the horizon, Dr. Grochmal says treatment is now ultimately safer than ever before and more successful in helping patients achieve improved vision with less dependence on glasses. He says other innovations have helped create smaller incisions for lens extraction and replacement during cataract surgery, and through technology such as the Zeiss IOL Master, doctors can better measure the power of the intraocular lenses and offer more accurate visual results. “With the safety of cataract surgery improving, patients no longer have to wait for their vision to drastically deteriorate before undergoing cataract surgery. Also, the quality of newer IOL’s are allowing excellent vision after surgery,” says Dr. Grochmal.
Thanks to a diverse arsenal of lenses such as toric and multifocal IOL’s, Dr. Grochmal says patients can now enjoy the benefits of custom treatment for their individual eye condition and lifestyle needs. Whether patients wish to enhance their vision up close or far away or find a balance of clarity in both distance and near vision, he says there is a solution for every patient’s desires. Dr. Grochmal says cataract surgery recovery is now also much quicker and requires less trauma to the function of one’s eye. “With such small incisions now possible and the availability of toric IOL’s, post operative astigmatism can be minimized if not completely corrected,” he says.
Regardless of whether patients are looking for cataract surgery or another vision correction procedure such as LASIK in Baltimore, Dr. Grochmal says the advancements in ophthalmology are making significant strides towards helping people attain perfect, lasting eyesight. He adds that he is excited to see the further development of patient comfort and care and hopes patients continue to take advantage of the benefits that procedures like cataract surgery can offer.
About Jay C. Grochmal, MD
Dr. Jay C. Grochmal received his medical degree from the University of Maryland, after which he completed a rotating internship at the U.S. Public Health Hospital in Baltimore. He also completed a residency in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, where he was Chief Resident.

We’ve all been to meetings with food that runs counter to our best efforts. You know the drill – you wake up, maybe go for a run or hit the gym, eat a healthy breakfast and get ready for your day. You head to a great meeting, full of interesting conversation and great colleagues, only to sit down and be immediately faced with the sugared-up carb du jour and not a lean protein in site. Follow this up a few hours later with heavy lunch, and you’re ready for a nap by 2 p.m.
Kaiser Permanante has long offered guidance to employees with our “Healthy Picks” Guidelines – nutrition information and guidance to help employees select healthy meals for meetings and events. On May 1, 2014, the guidance became a policy, meaning that it’s the law of the land. Led by several executives, including Kathy Gerwig, vice president of employee safety, health, & wellness, Kaiser Permanente has made it company policy to have healthy meals provided at company events. The transition is not always easy, but it is catching on as people see that healthy food doesn’t have to be boring.
The Center for Total Health committed to these guidelines more than a year ago. Working with an exclusive caterer, we have succeeded in removing sugary beverages and most desserts from the Center, while bringing in more lean protein and tasty fruits and veggies. One of the most popular innovations we’ve seen is our DIY salad bar, which lets guests build their own salad. It gets rave reviews every time.
If you’re interested in bringing healthier food to your meetings and events, please check out our guidelines. For more healthy meeting suggestions, check out the full guide from our HealthWorks team.

These days, spending a lot of time in front of a computer or smartphone is required, desired, or both.
An online Optometry Times article entitled “Wellpoint Offers 6 Tips for Handling Digital Eye Strain” notes that this puts you at risk for digital eye strain, which can cause dry eyes, red eyes, twitching eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain. The article states that “according to organizations like The Vision Council, more than 70% of Americans don’t know or don’t believe they are at risk for digital eye strain; however, anyone who is in front of a digital screen is vulnerable.”
The article also describes “decreased productivity and increased work errors, fatigue from staring at a digital screen, and straining to see small fonts and images” as other signs or symptoms.
Digital eye strain happens when the eyes have to keep refocusing. This is because we use computers and smartphones within close range of the eyes. Eventually, the eyes must refocus to process the images on the digital screen.
In the article, Dr. Richard Horn, optometric director for Wellpoint, suggests the following tips to avoid digital eye strain (presented here in short summary):
Follow the “20-20-20 rule.” Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away. This relaxes the focusing muscle inside the eye.
Reduce glare. Install an anti-glare screen on your monitor, and drapes or blinds on windows; use a computer hood to block peripheral or overhead light; and add anti-reflective (AR) coating on eyeglasses lenses
Work in proper lighting. When looking at a digital screen, surrounding light should be half as bright as most offices. Helpful tips include: positioning the monitor so exterior windows are to the side, not in front; opt for lamps using halogen, incandescent or lower intensity bulbs over fluorescent lights.
Blink often. Blinking less can cause dry eyes. Did you know that you tend to blink approximately 1/3 less often than normal when looking at a computer screen? Every 20 minutes blink 10 times by closing the eyes very slowly which not only moistens the eyes, it can help them refocus.
Revise the workspace. Looking back and forth between your screen and a printed page causes stress and strain on the eyes. Put the pages on a well-lit copy stand next to your monitor. Also, poor posture can make it harder to clearly see a digital screen. Consider ergonomic furniture that positions the screen itself 20 to 24 inches from the eyes and its center 10 to 15 degrees below the eyes.
Get a regular comprehensive eye exam. Before your exam, measure the distance between your eyes and the digital screen. Share this measurement with your eye doctor, as well as how often you use computers and smartphones. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), regular computer users should have an exam once a year.

Today’s post is authored by guest blogger Samantha DuPont, with the Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy.
For the second year in a row, Kaiser Permanente’s California hospitals have been named “Health Care’s Most Wired” by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. The honor recognizes our excellence in technology integration across the health care spectrum — infrastructure, procurement, human resources, security, clinical quality and safety, patient access, care continuum and health information exchange.
Kaiser Permanente has long been recognized as a leader in using technology to deliver high quality care. By 1970, we had implemented an electronic health record (EHR) for over 1 million patients. Today, our EHR, Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect®, connects 9.3 million members to their providers, and is one of the most advanced in the nation. By integrating comprehensive patient data, best practice research, treatment recommendations and other provider tools in one record, KP HealthConnect® ensures that patients receive the best care at every encounter.
We were also an early adopter of online health services for patients, as chronicled in an informative Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy Story. In 1996 we began offering online prescription refills and appointment scheduling. Since then, our patient portal, My Health Manager, has grown a bevy of features, allowing patients to:
• view personal health information, including lab results, immunizations, past office visits,
• prescriptions, allergies, and health conditions;
• view, schedule, or cancel appointments;
• refill prescriptions;
• securely email doctors, pharmacists, and member services staff;
• take health assessments and programs that support healthy lifestyle changes and find information about health topics; and,
• manage health benefits, including viewing drug formularies and estimating the cost of treatments.
As of 2014, more than 4.4 million members are registered for My Health Manager on kp.org, nearly double the number in 2008. To learn more about how we’ve achieved success in getting patients online – and how that has improved health outcomes – read, “Engaging Patients Online with My Health Manager.”

It’s true, books really do, “Feed Your Head”. In 1991 there was an award winning MTV campaign that promoted reading. It was a revolutionary, ground breaking, and cutting edge style of mixing literature with a short film. This was when MTV still contained the word “music” in the logo, Tom Freston was the President and CEO of the network, the influence of Bob Pittman was still around, and it offered up value and creativity to viewers. Unfortunately it seems those days have passed.
Because of this campaign to promote reading I was introduced to the works of Franz Kafka and more importantly the works of Donald Barthelme. To me, Donald Barthelme is the master of the short story. I read almost every single day. I will admit that there are days when I am on vacation that I might miss the opportunity to read in exchange for the opportunity to explore a new city.
Many years ago, Jim Rohn (author and personal development trainer) said, “If you read one book every month about your industry, in 10 years you’ll have read 120 books. That will put you in the top one percent of your field.” Mr. Rohn was 100% correct and he was just talking about the lazy way to do it. I once heard someone say, “Skip a meal, but never skip the opportunity to read.” If you just invest 20 – 30 minutes a day in yourself, to read, there isn’t any reason that can’t read at least one book a week. If you were to read one book a week that would mean at the end of year you would have read 52 books. At this rate you would be in the top one percent in two years instead of 10.
For myself, I find that reading in a 80/20 ratio works best for me. Eighty percent of the books that I read are for knowledge and learning. Twenty percent of the books that I read are for humor, pleasure, and escapism. I would personally get bored if all I did was read for learning. I also need to be entertained when I read.
Please don’t tell me you don’t have enough time to read. If you really don’t think that you have the time to read…then I suggest that you at least make the time to read, “The 168 Hour Week” by, Dr. Kevin Hogan.
You can find the time to read. You just have to do it. I truly believe that reading is a great exercise that you can and should do for your brain everyday to keep it healthy and active. Think of your brain as muscle…exercise it and make it grow. The dividends that it will pay you can be huge.
If you’re looking for a new author to read or you want to start reading a new genere of books, then I suggest you take a look at the works of Thorne Smith. You can find out more about Thorne Smith at the blog and and website created by, Michael Walker at http://www.thornesmithblog.com/
Grab a book and start reading today. Remember, “Books Feed Your Head”.

Dr. Jay C. Grochmal personally performs each aspect of his LASIK procedures from consultation to postoperative care to avoid unnecessary errors and reduce risks.
Baltimore, MD – LASIK surgeon Jay C. Grochmal, MD strives to serve his patients with compassionate care and a personal touch. At Grochmal Eye Center, he personally performs all LASIK laser vision correction screenings, examinations, surgeries and post-operative care. He believes that taking a hands-on, expert approach to all aspects of patient care can ultimately decrease the risk of error and enhance the final results.
According to Dr. Grochmal, LASIK is the most popular variation of excimer laser vision correction performed at Grochmal Eye Center. By reshaping the cornea (the outer window of the eye), he says light rays are able to focus more precisely on the patient’s retina, reducing or eliminating refractive errors and common vision problems. The procedure can treat and correct a number of conditions, including:
At Grochmal Eye Center, all LASIK procedures are performed without the need for a surgical blade coming anywhere near the eye. One type of laser is used to create a corneal flap and another laser is used to reshape the cornea itself in order to better refract light, ultimately working to improve distance vision. Recent FDA studies report that 100% of 189 patients who underwent CustomVue™ refractive eye surgery reported post-operative 20/40 vision or better without contact lenses or glasses. Of those patients, 94% reported 20/20 vision, and 74% reported 20/16 vision or better.
Dr. Grochmal notes that CustomVue™ LASIK refractive eye surgery is his preferred way to perform LASIK, as this technology allows the newly reshaped cornea to be custom-tailored for each patient to such a degree that many higher orders of optical aberrations (visual distortions) are corrected. He adds that this custom-tailoring, enhanced by Wavefront™ technology that allows for a more advanced level of precision over traditional refractive eye surgery, typically results in a higher quality visual outcome.
When determining if one of his patients is a candidate for LASIK surgery, Dr. Grochmal evaluates the patient’s tear film, pupil size, corneal thickness, corneal shape, and total refractive state as well as the overall health of the patient’s eyes. Furthermore, Dr. Grochmal says he also discusses the patient’s personal expectations for the procedure to ensure that patients are informed about every step of the LASIK process – from preoperative preparation to postoperative care – and that they achieve the results they are seeking.
About Jay C. Grochmal, MD
Dr. Jay C. Grochmal serves on the staff of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and St. Agnes Hospital and travels on medical missionary trips to Third World countries with a variety of religious organizations. He earned his medical degree from the University of Maryland and went on to complete his residency at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center’s Department of Ophthalmology where he achieved the rank of Chief Resident. In addition to laser vision correction, Dr. Grochmal treats patients affected by common eye and vision conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Dr. Grochmal is available for interview upon request.

Advice from the Globe Travel Health Centre for football fans travelling to Brazil for the World Cup:
We hope you have a wonderful time, but do be aware that you will require certain vaccinations before you go – and if you are going to be travelling to Manaus, then you will need more than just the basics travel vaccinations.
All travellers to Brazil should be up to date with hepatitis A, typhoid and tetanus. Some of these may be available from your GP free of charge, but many surgeries no longer provide this service.
If you will be seeing the matches that are planned to take place in Manaus, then you will also need a yellow fever vaccination and anti-malarial medication, as Manaus, despite being a city of almost 2 million people, is in the centre of the Brazilian jungle.
If you are going to combine your football trip with some sightseeing to other areas of Brazil, you may wish to consider some other vaccinations such as hepatitis B or rabies.
You will also need advice on how to avoid other diseases such as dengue fever – this is spread by daytime-biting mosquitoes that live in urban (city) settings, the most likely place to find a football stadium
Not forgetting travellers’ diarrhoea – common, but can be avoided…

On Tuesday, June 24, an panel came together for a discussion about food in our neighborhoods – where it comes from, what barriers keep healthy foods from some communities, and solutions that are working. Kaiser Permanente and Elevation DC hosted the discussion right here at the Center for Total Health.
Food writer Mary Beth Albright moderated a lively conversation among Laine Cidlowski, an urban sustainability planner for the D.C. Office of Planning; JuJu Harris, culinary educator with the Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture; and Ted Eytan, MD, physician director at the Center for Total Health. Panelists shared different perspectives about D.C.’s food system and considered the economics of good health.
This discussion was a prime opportunity to consider the consequences as well as the opportunities related to food in neighborhoods. According to Cidlowski, communities of high poverty that are more than a 10-minute walk or one bus transfer away from a full-service grocery store are considered food deserts. D.C. liquor stores and fast food restaurants dominate some of the most vulnerable communities where grocery stores have gone out of business or have never existed. This condition leaves residents wanting – and to a large extent, vulnerable to chronic illness and low quality of life.
Organizations such as Arcadia farms, with its mobile market, are filling the gap by bringing fresh produce to people where they live and teaching residents about food selection and meal preparation. Harris, Arcadia’s culinary educator and SNAP outreach coordinator, hosts cooking demonstrations at the markets to help engage customers about what to do with the produce once they get home. She shared that even a 10-minute walk can sometimes be too much for people living in poverty.
Community gardens, gardening plots and urban farms are also part of the solution, however Cidlowski shared that with so much demand, there are now wait lists – some as long as three years – to use some green spaces. But with revitalization efforts in the city, much consideration is being given to food access in the District.
Eytan offered the physician perspective. He highlighted the connection between food and health and why this issue is integral to Kaiser Permanente’s total health mission. “We want to provide health care, not just sick care,” said Eytan, who encourages patients to make time for physical activity and healthy meal preparation, but acknowledges that healthy choices are difficult to make in many neighborhoods.

Routine eye exams determine more than just the need for prescription lenses or contacts. In fact, during a routine eye exam your ophthalmologist will check for common eye diseases that can be indicators of other problems that can affect your overall health. For example, an ophthalmologist can diagnose high blood pressure and diabetes just from looking at your eyes!
Routine eye exams are important for children to make sure that their vision is developing at a healthy rate. Young children are less inclined to complain about vision problems, as they do not know what “normal” vision is like. It is time to take your child for an eye exam if he or she is having difficulties in school or asks to have his or her seat moved either closer to or farther from the blackboard.
Adults should have an annual eye exam to ensure that their current prescriptions are on point. Your ophthalmologist will also evaluate your eye pressure and check for common eye diseases.
There are quite a few common eye diseases that patients are screened for during a routine eye exam:

On Tuesday, June 24, an panel came together for a discussion about food in our neighborhoods – where it comes from, what barriers keep healthy foods from some communities, and solutions that are working. Kaiser Permanente and Elevation DC hosted the discussion right here at the Center for Total Health.
Food writer Mary Beth Albright moderated a lively conversation among Laine Cidlowski, an urban sustainability planner for the D.C. Office of Planning; JuJu Harris, culinary educator with the Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture; and Ted Eytan, MD, physician director at the Center for Total Health. Panelists shared different perspectives about D.C.’s food system and considered the economics of good health.
This discussion was a prime opportunity to consider the consequences as well as the opportunities related to food in neighborhoods. According to Cidlowski, communities of high poverty that are more than a 10-minute walk or one bus transfer away from a full-service grocery store are considered food deserts. D.C. liquor stores and fast food restaurants dominate some of the most vulnerable communities where grocery stores have gone out of business or have never existed. This condition leaves residents wanting – and to a large extent, vulnerable to chronic illness and low quality of life.
Organizations such as Arcadia farms, with its mobile market, are filling the gap by bringing fresh produce to people where they live and teaching residents about food selection and meal preparation. Harris, Arcadia’s culinary educator and SNAP outreach coordinator, hosts cooking demonstrations at the markets to help engage customers about what to do with the produce once they get home. She shared that even a 10-minute walk can sometimes be too much for people living in poverty.
Community gardens, gardening plots and urban farms are also part of the solution, however Cidlowski shared that with so much demand, there are now wait lists – some as long as three years – to use some green spaces. But with revitalization efforts in the city, much consideration is being given to food access in the District.
Eytan offered the physician perspective. He highlighted the connection between food and health and why this issue is integral to Kaiser Permanente’s total health mission. “We want to provide health care, not just sick care,” said Eytan, who encourages patients to make time for physical activity and healthy meal preparation, but acknowledges that healthy choices are difficult to make in many neighborhoods.
