Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2015 -- Fox Chase Family Eye Care, a local Philadelphia optometric practice with a constant focus on enhancing its patient experience has recently undergone a significant upgrade. Replacing the industry-standard devices in the practice, Fox Chase Family Eye Care recently implemented The Marco TRS 5100 in order to provide patients with the most advanced optical technology available. A fully-computerized system, the TRS 5100 automates the process in which Fox Chase determines patients' prescriptions, known as refraction. Marco's TRS 5100 provides a significantly more accurate refracting system than the traditional refractor that is found in the majority of today's optometric offices, which was designed 80 years ago and still remains the standard. This allows for faster, more convenient and accurate prescriptions than can be provided elsewhere.

This new instrument benefits from the latest generation of electronic refraction technology. The entire process is now controlled from a keypad small enough to fit in your lap. "I am very excited to begin using this amazing new technology in our practice to help our patients see their best," comments Dr. Lance Dunnoff, "The TRS 5100 truly sets us apart and keeps us on the cutting edge of eye care. After 80 years, getting your eyeglasses prescription has finally entered the modern age, along with the rest of the medical field. No more spinning dials! I know you will be just as amazed as I am when you are in for your annual eye examinatio n and see this new equipment in action!"

SPECS4US Frames Make Eyeglasses More Comfortable For Those With Special Needs

Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/11/2015 -- Fox Chase Family Eye Care, a local Philadelphia optometric practice with a reputation in the community for thoughtful and innovative patient care, proudly announced that they will be carrying the new specialty SPECS4US frames for those with special needs.

Dr. Lance Dunoff of Fox Chase Family Eye Care comments, "The SPECS4US brand was born from the care and giving that characterizes a mother's love for her children. Here at Fox Chase Family Eye Care, we're happy to help our patients share in this by offering these unique frames."

SPECS4US was founded in 2004 by Maria Dellapina, a single mother of four children, one of whom has Down Syndrome, with more than 25 years of experience in the optical field. SPECS4US was created as the result of a fruitless two year search on the part of Dellapina for a frame that would properly fit her daughter with Down Syndrome. Dellapina's solution was to utilize her prior knowledge as an optician to design appropriately fitting frames that would meet the special fitting needs of her daughter and others like her.

In explaining how SPECS4US helps those with special needs, Dr. Dunoff comments, "For the Down Syndrome community, SPECS4US frames offer a quality of fit and comfort that far exceeds the standards of any other popular frame line currently offered in optometric offices. The innovative design enhances your child's ability to explore the world around him or her freely and clearly without the limitations placed on them by wearing glasses that are too big, uncomfortable and constantly slipping or falling off. The unique needs of the special needs community were at the forefront of our minds when we decided to begin carrying SPECS4US. These innovative glasses help us find solutions to the problems that use of regular eyeglasses entails for the Down Syndrome community." Unlike other frames, the bridge of SPECS4US frames are adjusted to fit on the unique features of the nose, and the temples are modified to keep slippage to a minimum when being worn.

SPECS4US come in multiple styles and colors, all of which are offered at Fox Chase Family Eye Care.

Local Eye Care Clinic Brings 22 Lbs. Of Food With The Help of Patients

Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/02/2015 -- Fox Chase Family Eye Care, a local eye care clinic in the Philadelphia area, accomplished a herculean feat this past holiday season as it managed to gather 22 pounds of canned food to donate to those less fortunate over the holidays. "It is always humbling and rewarding to engage in an act of giving and kindness during the holiday season, and to help another person, or many people, enjoy their holidays just a little bit more by showing that there are people out there who care about and are thinking of them," comments Dr. Lance Dunoff.

Fox Chase Family Eye Care worked together with Philabundance, a local organization that aims to fight hunger by reducing food waste, to accomplish this incredible act of kindness. "In recent years, many more people have been hit by the increasingly difficult economic situation here, and they are having to rely on Philabundance to feed themselves and their families," says Dr. Dunoff, explaining the importance of this project, "At the same time, it seems that this same difficult economic climate is making donations to Philabundance smaller and harder to come by. With this in mind, we at Fox Chase Family Eye Care realized the great importance of this effort and wanted to make sure that we and our patients were able to help at this most dear and important time of year. Thanks to the generous help of our staff and patients, we were able to gather a great deal of food to help those who may be having a hard time putting together a solid meal this holiday season. We are very grateful to everyone that came together to make this incredible act of giving an even greater success than we could have ever imagined."

Dr. Dunoff and his staff welcome you to join them every year for this food drive and encourage you to speak to them further about giving to Philabundance all year long the next time you come in for your annual comprehensive eye exam.
