Dr. Sheldon Herzig, MD, FRCSC, is the co-founder and Medical Director of the Herzig Eye Institute. The onset of age-related diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration can occur at a surprisingly young age, and through age 40s and 50s, near vision starts to deteriorate. This loss of near vision is called presbyopia and is caused by hardening of the eye’s natural lens. New treatments include laser vision correction, laser blended vision, and multifocal intraocular implants. After age 40, the incidence of dry eye increases as well, especially in winter months or after prolonged reading and computer use. Artificial tears, and sophisticated treatments such as Lipiflow, can help prevent tear evaporation. At this age, a retinal exam can detect the presence of a systemic disease, such as hypertension or diabetes, as well as the risk of stroke. After age 60, the incidence of cataracts increases dramatically because the natural lens starts to become less clear, and may eventually become cloudy. Fortunately, cataract surgery today is quite safe and, when combined with refractive surgery, can restore both distance and near vision, eliminating the need for glasses. Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) also increases after age 60, and vitamins that contain lutein and zeaxanthin have proven to slow its progression. With a world-renowned surgical team, precision diagnostics and advanced technologies: Laser Vision Correction (SMILE, LASIK or PRK), Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), Intraocular Collamer Lens (ICL), Laser Cataract Surgery and treatment for presbyopia (loss of reading vision), advanced laser cataract surgery, and dry eye, the Herzig Eye Institute specializes in providing a range of life-changing procedures, all under one roof. www.herzig-eye.com
The Institute of Human Mechanics was built to transform the patient-practitioner experience by providing a new, higher standard of healthcare and regenerative medicine to patients. Destined to operate with an international presence, IHM clinics will bring together individuals from the top of their field – from medical professionals in dermatology and oncology to fitness practitioners and beyond. Founded by visionary physician, Dr. Anthony Galea, best known for the Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) innovation to treat injury and transform the lives of his patients for the better, IHM is committed to providing patients with the confidence and science to live their best lives. The inaugural clinic welcomes renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. Trevor M. Born as its first medical collaborator. The TMB Medspa will be dedicated entirely to non-invasive esthetic procedures and offer patients innovative skincare, body-shaping and therapeutic treatments designed to help people achieve their personal goals with little downtime. “The demand for safe and effective non-surgical aesthetic treatments has grown substantially over the years,” Dr. Born explains. “People want to look and feel their best, but don’t necessarily want to commit to surgical procedures or long recovery times. We’ll offer them the best, most advanced regenerative treatments in a luxurious and calm space that reflects our commitment to exceptional care and service.” www.tmbcosmeticssurgery.com
Dr. Nowell Solish, M.D.,F.R.C.P.(C) is a renowned specialist in Cosmetic Dermatology. He works closely with the FDA, pharma companies and Health Canada to approve the Botox and fillers which he has been injecting for 25 years. In his office he has a complete clinical trial unit where he tests and studies the newest products for cosmetic rejuvenation. Dr. Solish did all the original studies to get Botox approved and is now working with different types of Botox, some of which have been shown to be more effective than those readily available, hoping to have them approved by the FDA and Health Canada in 2020. He also tests many fillers and obtains them before they have wide spread use. Often Canada gets these fillers before the U.S. Dr. Solish is one of the physicians chosen to study the products, and when they become available, help launch them in the U.S.. Lab equipment that he uses to analyze the results of these studies fills his office, and the results are eventually published in highly regarded medical journals. Today, many spas and hair salons offer cosmetic treatments including lasers, Botox, and fillers. While many of these procedures are extremely safe and effective, this applies only when performed by a properly trained physician. Dr. Solish is constantly seeing and treating issues from other clinics and centres around the GTA. Buyer Beware. Credentials matter. www.solish.com
