Protect Your Eyes with Expert Care from Dr. Valeria Rubinstein

May is Healthy Vision Month, a national initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of eye health and the steps we can all take to preserve our vision for life. Our eyes play a vital role in how we experience the world — yet too often, we take them for granted until a problem arises.

That’s why Dr. Valeria Rubinstein, a leading ophthalmologist based in New York City at New York Medical & Surgical Eye Care, encourages everyone to make their eye health a priority. With years of experience and access to advanced diagnostic tools, Dr. Rubinstein is committed to helping patients prevent, detect, and manage the most common eye diseases before they lead to permanent vision loss.

Why Healthy Vision Month Matters

According to the National Eye Institute, millions of Americans live with undiagnosed or untreated eye conditions — many of which can be managed or even prevented with routine eye care. Regular eye exams not only check for changes in vision but can also detect early signs of serious eye diseases that may have no symptoms in their early stages.

Common Eye Conditions Dr. Rubinstein Can Diagnose and Treat

As part of her comprehensive ophthalmic care, Dr. Rubinstein provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of eye conditions, including:

  • Cataracts: A clouding of the eye’s lens that causes blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts are common with age but can be treated effectively with surgery.
  • Glaucoma: Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve and may lead to blindness if not caught early. Regular screenings are essential.
  • Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. Early diagnosis can help prevent severe vision loss.
  • Macular Degeneration: A leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting central vision and the ability to see fine details.
  • Dry Eye Syndrome: A common and often overlooked condition that causes discomfort, blurred vision, and eye fatigue.

The Importance of Annual Eye Exams

Many eye diseases begin with no noticeable symptoms, which makes routine eye exams one of the most powerful tools in protecting your sight. During an exam, Dr. Rubinstein uses advanced imaging and testing to detect even the earliest signs of disease and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re experiencing changes in your vision or just due for a checkup, Healthy Vision Month is the perfect reminder to schedule an eye exam.
