chocolateAccording to research chocolate  improves eyesight and sharpen the brain more than carrots. Dark chocolate can lower the blood pressure and also appears to have a good effect on cholesterol levels, platelet function and insulin sensitivity.

The authors of the latest research were from England’s University of Reading, including 30 men and women aged between 18 to 25 and perform research on themselves by testing their vision and thinking skills a couple of hours after they ate a dark chocolate bar.

Milk chocolate does not produce the same results.

Europtics is expanding. Europtics is opening a store in Colorado Springs this fall!
Since Europtics opened over 25 years ago in Denver, thousands of people have made the trip north from Colorado Springs and Pueblo to shop the huge selection of famous name brand designer eyewear available at Europtics. Now the trip will be significantly shorter. The new Europtics store will be in The Promenade Shops at Briargate, 1685 Briargate Pkwy. on the north side of Colorado Springs. Conveniently located between Ted’s Montana Grill and the Apple Store, Europtics will bring the world of fine designer optics to Colorado Springs. We hope all our southern Colorado friends and customers are as excited as we are. Stay tuned for more details!

Your  vision isn’t a simple matter of optics. Vision consists of optics, plus neurological processing. The light converging on the retina must be interpreted, and the brain processes those signals. It has been shown that even in cases where a clear image is focused on the retina that neuro-adaptation may still be required if there are inherent optical aberrations within the visual system that the brain cannot accept.

In order to provide you with the best possible visual acuity, both your refractive error and wavefront error must be accurately measured… and corrected. Refractive errors, also known as low order aberrations (LOAs), are determined through traditional measurements and communicated in terms of power (sphere and cylinder) and location (axis). In comparison, wavefront errors, which are comprised of the combination of LOAs and high order aberrations (HOAs), are measured with an aberrometer and communicated in terms of orientation and magnitude.

Basically, every eye (including emmetropes) has some degree of measureable distortion (aberration), both LOA and HOA. While a conventional sphero-cylindrical vision correction eliminates LOAs, a wavefront-guided vision correction minimizes the blur that results from the combination of the LOA and HOA.

Europtics is proud to be one of the first in Colorado to have the new .Profilerplus® three-in-one system by ZEISS. This complex device will sample around 1,500 points across the entire pupil aperture. With this additional information, the eye doctors at Europtics can create customized prescriptions that address not only refractive error (LOAs), but HOAs as well.

The i.Profilerplus® three-in-one system by ZEISS makes creating a wavefront-guided refraction simple. Using the wavefront aberrometry data captured by the i.Profilerplus, the ZEISS VoluMetric merit function calculates the wavefront refraction with sphere and cylinder powers. Then use the i.Scription® software to combine the subjective refraction with the ocular wavefront aberrometry data to create a customized prescription that is accurate to 1/100th of a diopter, accuracy virtually unheard of previously.

Call and schedule an exam in our new Cherry Creek North store today (303-321-3000) and let us show you this remarkable technology to help us prescribe the best pair of glasses you have ever worn.
