Optometrist encourages Veterans to get glaucoma test For Veterans 50 and over, annual eye exam recommended

Arguably, no one knows the importance of the adage “the eyes are the windows to the soul” better than optometrists. Bay Pines VA optometrist Dr. Daniel Shea also believes that providing eye care is one of the most important ways to support the whole health of Veterans.

Shea joined the Bay Pines VA team nine years ago. He’s experienced mixed levels of assisting Veterans with preventative care as well as helping them manage the conditions they’re already living with. One of the most common and easily treatable diseases he encounters is glaucoma.

“During my fourth year of optometry school, I did a rotation at VA, and that’s when I knew I wanted to select VA optometry as a career. I’ve found the optometry practice here places a heavy focus on treating diseases, and it’s very gratifying to help patients alleviate their problems,” Shea said.

Encourages all Veterans to schedule routine eye exams

“Glaucoma is a condition where most people don’t experience symptoms but very slowly lose their peripheral vision. When they finally get to the doctor, they’re told the damage cannot be reversed once it’s there,” Shea shared. 

If left untreated, glaucoma can leave people partially or fully blind. There are several factors that contribute to the development of this disease, including genetics and ethnicity.

Shea and his team encourage all Veterans to schedule routine eye exams with an optometrist, which includes annual optical tests for glaucoma.

“Glaucoma can affect people at any age, but it usually occurs in older patients. For patients 50 and over, it’s recommended they schedule an eye exam annually. Anyone between the ages of 20 and 50 who have no identified problems are recommended to schedule an exam every two years.”

Treatment for mild eye disease includes medicated eye drops

People who have been diagnosed with glaucoma or other eye conditions should schedule an appointment every six months. Treatment for individuals with chronic or mild eye disease typically includes the use of medicated eye drops which can help deter or prevent development of the condition.

Anyone enrolled in VA health care should speak with their primary care provider about receiving optometry services, especially since glaucoma isn’t the only disease that can be discovered through the eyes.

“Other diseases like diabetes and cancer can also be detected during these routine exams, so I urge everyone to take their eye health seriously. I’m not military, but a lot of my family is, so working here is a comfortable place for me. Treating Veterans makes me feel like I’m doing something to help them lead fuller lives.”

La campaña azul del DHS se asocia con Lyft para educar a los conductores de viajes compartidos sobre cómo detectar y prevenir la trata de personas

07/02/2024

DEPARTAMENTO DE SEGURIDAD NACIONAL DE EE. UU. Oficina de Asuntos Públicos La campaña azul del DHS se asocia con Lyft para educar a los conductores de viajes compartidos sobre cómo detectar y prevenir la trata de personas El alcance de Lyft comenzará con los conductores en el área de Las Vegas durante el Super Bowl 2024, ya que este delito puede ser más frecuente y pasar desapercibido durante eventos grandes.   El programa tutorial es el comienzo de una asociación única con el DHS para combatir la trata de personas en los Estados Unidos.   WASHINGTON – Hoy, la Campaña Azul del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y Lyft, Inc. anunciaron un nuevo programa tutorial que ayudará a los conductores de viajes compartidos en los Estados Unidos y Canadá a detectar y prevenir la trata de personas. El tutorial es parte de una asociación única en su tipo entre Lyft. y Campaña Azul del DHS. Lyft. presentará los recursos sobre trata de personas de la Campaña Azul en el Centro de aprendizaje en la aplicación exclusivo para conductores de Lyft. Esta asociación ayudará a crear conciencia sobre este crimen atroz, enseñará a los conductores las señales que indican que alguien puede ser una víctima y les brindará recursos para ayudar, incluida orientación sobre cómo comunicarse con las autoridades adecuadas.     “Un delito tan generalizado a nivel mundial como la trata de personas requiere un esfuerzo de toda la sociedad para arrojar luz sobre estos actos atroces; identificar, proteger y apoyar a las víctimas; y llevar a los perpetradores ante la justicia”, dijo el secretario de Seguridad Nacional, Alejandro N. Mayorkas . “Las asociaciones clave con el sector privado y las capacitaciones específicas son fundamentales para el éxito de nuestra misión contra la trata de personas. La nueva asociación del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional con Lyft, que enseñará a los conductores que interactúan con millones de pasajeros cada año a identificar y ayudar a desbaratar la trata de personas, ayudará a salvar vidas y evitar tragedias”.    “La trata de personas (la explotación ilegal de una persona) es un crimen atroz. Tenemos tolerancia cero al respecto”, dijo el director ejecutivo de Lyft, David Risher . "Estamos orgullosos de asociarnos con la Campaña Azul del DHS para crear conciencia sobre el tema, de modo que el millón de personas que conducen en la plataforma Lyft puedan reconocerlo e informarlo cuando lo vean".    Lyft se une a más de 100 socios de la Campaña Azul en las industrias del transporte, el alojamiento y el sector privado que trabajan para combatir este delito. Los socios oficiales pueden optar por recibir educación en persona de expertos en la materia de la Campaña Azul, así como materiales educativos y de concientización de marca compartida adaptados a la misión de su organización.    Como la primera activación importante de la nueva asociación, Lyft, Inc. enviará una notificación a los conductores en el área de Las Vegas durante el Super Bowl 2024 para informarles que tienen las herramientas disponibles para reconocer las señales de este delito. Delitos como la trata de personas pueden ser más frecuentes durante eventos como el Super Bowl debido al volumen masivo de personas y al anonimato que brindan las grandes reuniones.    La Campaña Azul es una campaña nacional de concientización pública dirigida por el Centro del DHS para contrarrestar la trata de personas (CCHT). Está diseñado para educar al público, a las fuerzas del orden y a otros socios de la industria para que reconozcan los indicadores de la trata de personas y cómo responder adecuadamente a posibles casos. El CCHT coordina los esfuerzos de 16 oficinas y componentes del DHS para combatir la trata de personas a través de operaciones de aplicación de la ley, protección y apoyo a las víctimas, inteligencia y análisis, y programas de educación y capacitación pública. Obtenga más información sobre los logros del CCHT en dhs.gov/dhs-center-countering-human-trafficking .    Se alienta a cualquier persona que sospeche de trata de personas a denunciarlo a las autoridades; las denuncias se pueden enviar de forma anónima en línea o llamando al 866-347-2423. Las personas también pueden comunicarse con la Línea Directa Nacional contra la Trata de Personas al 888-373-7888 o humantraffickinghotline.org .  Publicado por Two Hundred Global Financial Solutions
