The most common symptoms of pink eye, officially termed conjunctivitis, include red eyes, swollen eyelids, mucus oozing out from the eye, and itchiness. Clinical trials to design advanced and effective cures for pink eye are presently ongoing.

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2019 -- The most common symptoms of pink eye, officially termed conjunctivitis, include red eyes, swollen eyelids, mucus oozing out from the eye, and itchiness. Although this irritating eye ailment is typical and widespread, there is no ready-made medicine to treat all cases. In response to this, clinical trials to design advanced and effective cures for pink eye are presently ongoing – and YESnick Vision Center, the leading optometric practice in Las Vegas, is a proud participant in these studies.

Medical manufacturers are investigating a range of pink eye treatments that are immediate and effective, and a select number of optometry practices have been chosen to partner in this research. Individuals in the Las Vegas area who think they may have pink eye are invited to contact Dr. Yesnick to inquire about their eligibility for the trial. To be a part of this current pink eye study, the patient must contact Dr. Yesnick within two days after the symptoms first appear and prior to the start of any treatment.

Patients who are good candidates and join the study will benefit from Dr. Yesnick's expert eye care services, cutting-edge treatment for pink eye, comprehensive follow-up visits, and reimbursement for their time!

"If you suspect that you have an eye infection – it is critical to seek a professional diagnosis as soon as possible," says Dr. David Yesnick. "When you follow the advice of your eye doctor, conjunctivitis usually clears up quickly and with no lasting complications."

Pink eye can result from a variety of causes, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, environmental irritants, allergies, and a reaction to medication. In general, the specific cause of pink eye determines the treatment. For example, bacterial conjunctivitis is treated by antibiotics, but when it is a viral infection treatment involves waiting for the virus to run its course. At YESnick Vision Center, Dr. Yesnick will perform a thorough eye exam to identify the type of pink eye in order to recommend the most suitable treatment.

Patients who experience the symptoms of conjunctivitis are encouraged to contact Dr. Yesnick as soon as possible to inquire about participation in the pink eye study. Call 702-500-0525, or contact the optometry practice online: https://www.theyvc.com/

See How this Innovative Device Restores Visual Independence

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/04/2018 -- Dr. David Yesnick is hosting a free event at YESnick Low Vision Center, in Las Vegas, to demonstrate the revolutionary IrisVision technology. This assistive device can restore visual independence to people who suffer from poor, uncorrectable vision. Low vision patients will be able to try the device, and the IrisVision Vice President will be present to answer questions. The interactive demonstration will take place on Wednesday, September 26, from 1pm-6pm; attendance is by reservation only.

Macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and many other eye conditions can rob people of their vision. In these cases, when eyeglasses, contact lenses, and surgery are not effective, IrisVision can be an ideal, life changing solution. The wearable magnifier uses an advanced Samsung virtual reality headset and specialized software to enable people with reduced sight to see. IrisVision is the newest assistive technology for people with low vision, backed by the National Eye Institute and supported by research from many prestigious universities.

"IrisVision can restore visual independence, helping people to read, watch TV, and see their loved ones faces. This advanced technology can get your family member's life back from the eye condition that caused their vision loss. I look forward to making a difference in your family member's life," says Dr. Yesnick.

IrisVision is a convenient, all-in-one device with multiple modes for seeing all distances with a wide field of view. It replaces the need for owning a range of low vision aids. For example, the Bioptic Telescope mode provides clear sight of magnified objects within their context – so the wearer can view signs or read product labels without losing their bearing. The Text Reading mode can be customized, making it a superior alternative to handheld magnifiers and stand CCTV. IrisVision is built with customizable settings, auto-focus capabilities, and easy-to-use functions.

The Low Vision Center at YESnick Vision Center is the largest center dedicated to people with reduced sight in Nevada. This leading clinic offers full training of IrisVision and other low vision aids. Space is limited at their IrisVision Demonstration, to be held at YESnick Vision Center, on September 26, 1pm – 6pm; refreshments provided.

The event will be held on Saturday, June 16th, 2018, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Marie Calendars.

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2018 -- Yesnick Vision Center invites the public to take a seat at their annual Blind Breakfast, which was established as a way to enhance their optometry staff members' understanding of life with Low Vision. This year, the event will be held on Saturday, June 16th, 2018, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Marie Calendars and is being run as a fundraiser for their non-profit Vision Recovery Center. Funds will be channeled towards providing underprivileged children with low vision aids. Sandy Yesnick, the only OTR/L, Certified Low Vision Therapist in Nevada, is the driving force behind this innovative, one-of-a-kind experience.

At the Blind Breakfast, each guest will be assigned a pair of glasses that mimics the effects of a different eye disease. Numerous health conditions and ocular conditions can lead to low vision, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataracts. These customized eyeglasses simulate the visual impairments of each respective disease. Some people will only see blurred shadows, while others will see spots and blotches of color or a gaping black hole in their central field of vision. With the eyewear on their face, participants will learn how it feels to pour a cup of coffee, eat a meal, use their phone, and find their place at the table.

A number of low vision aids are available to help patients optimize their remaining sight. At the Blind Breakfast, Sandy Yesnick will review some of the ways to improve quality of life for people with reduced sight, such as lighting and specialized magnification devices. In past years, these breakfasts benefited the staff at Yesnick Vision Center greatly by helping them to put their patient's challenges into perspective. By opening the event to the public, YVC aims to promote a wider public awareness of the effects of low vision.

The Vision Recovery Center, a non-profit organization founded by Dr. David Yesnick and his wife, Sandy, provides people of all ages with the latest low vision aids and treatments, enabling them to perform tasks – driving, reading, working, seeing the faces of their family – that had become impossible.

"Helping people who otherwise cannot afford treatment and tools to lead a life with sight is one of the most heartwarming experiences. The kids and adults we help with the Vision Recovery Center are given a chance to live a new life. It is our goal that no one in Las Vegas should be left without the ability to see due to financial restrictions," says Sandy Yesnick.

As a fundraiser, the Blind Breakfast will advance the Vision Recovery Center's goal to provide disadvantaged children with the clearest, healthiest eyesight possible. For more information, contact the YESnick Vision Center; 702-966-2020.

The Virtual Driving Essentials simulator Virtual Driving Essentials simulator is the ultimate way to teach teens and adults all the critical skills for safe driving. The simulator uses superior graphics to mimic the design of a real car, with signals, brake and gas pedals, dashboard and windshield wipers. It replicates a range of real-life scenarios during different weather conditions, traffic conditions, and times of day – within a secure, controlled environment. People confront complex road hazards in order to develop better awareness, defensive driving techniques, and rapid decision-making skills.

For example, the driver must have a minimum of 20/40 vision when viewing through the telescopic device; a minimum of 20/120 vision is required when viewing through the carrier lens. In addition, the driver must have a stable visual deficiency and pass a comprehensive road test to verify that he or she is capable of using the low vision device, such as bioptic telescopic glasses, while operating a car. At the AAA Driving Academy, visually impaired drivers can utilize the virtual driving simulator to practice driving with bioptics, until they are comfortable to transition to a real car.

Using sophisticated computer technology and a miniature video camera, wearers operate OrCam MyEye simply by pointing to the object they want to see.

Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2017 -- YESnick Vision Center was chosen to be the first optometry team in Nevada to market OrCam, a revolutionary device for visually impaired and blind patients. Using sophisticated computer technology and a miniature video camera, wearers operate OrCam MyEye simply by pointing to the object they want to see.

The system consists of a discreet, portable computer that fits in a pocket and connects by a thin cable to a piece clipped neatly onto the individual's eyeglasses. OrCam reads any object or text indicated by the user, and a tiny speaker uses bone conduction to transmit speech to the inner ear. People with visual impairments can thereby read books, menus and the words on street signs. OrCam also identifies products when shopping, recognizes faces, and differentiates between money and credit cards. This inventive device grants incredible independence and mobility to people living with vision loss.

Dr. David Yesnick, O.D., leading optometrist at YESnick Vision Center, and his wife, Sandy, have been at the forefront of low vision care for years. Mrs. Sandy Yesnick, OTR/L SCLV, is the premier Low Vision Therapist in Nevada.

"We are honored and excited to be the first to offer OrCam in Nevada. These glasses are designed to give independence to low vision and blind patients, and they are truly miraculous!" says Dr. Yesnick.

In 2015, the YESnick Vision Center hosted an informational meeting about CentraSight, an implantable telescope for advanced macular degeneration. Over 100 attendees participated at this event. The Yesnicks also founded the Vision Recovery Center, the sole non-profit in Nevada dedicated to helping defray the cost of care for visually impaired adults and children. In addition, this Las Vegas practice runs an innovative driving school for the public and people with visual impairments.

OrCam changes the whole playing field of visual and reading aids. Largely, existing reading aids use bulky equipment that functions in controlled environments or as software apps with limited use on smartphones. In contrast, OrCam can be used anywhere. It reads "text in the wild", which refers to all types of objects, ranging from traffic lights, bus numbers, magazines and faces. As friends or family approach, OrCam will announce who is arriving. The system is pre-programmed with a set of objects, and the wearer can add to this collection by waving an entity in front of the camera. In this way, the user teaches OrCam to recognize new objects.

"While we aren't able to correct low vision, OrCam is an unparalleled development to enhance patients' lives – using pioneering science, computers and high-tech engineering," says Dr. Yesnick.

Over 21 million people over the age of 18 in the United States have a form of visual impairment, according to the 2011 National Health Survey by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. Dedicated to improving the lives of everyone with low vision, the YESnick Vision Center in Las Vegas, is currently the exclusive provider of the OrCam MyEye system to patients in Nevada.
