Miru 1 Day Contact Lens - Ultrathin Flat Pack






As part of our practice to bring innovation, quality and optimal vision we are in the process of helping launch a revolutionary new daily disposable contact lens in the US and our patients are to be among the first to try it, ahead of the national launch that will take place next year.




Our exciting new product is called Miru 1day, and it comes in an ultra slim package, barely 1mm thick. Besides being a very convenient product to carry around and store, it was designed to be easy to open, spill proof, and clearly a single-use device. An additional and very important feature is that the lens is always oriented with the posterior surface of the lens facing down, allowing the lens to be inserted without ever touching the part that will come into contact with the cornea.



Miru 1 Day




Miru 1day is made of hioxifilcon A, a HEMA-GMA soft lens polymer with 57% water content and excellent water retention properties aiding in comfort and minimizing dryness. The lens features aspheric optics for optimal vision and a comfortable edge .



The Miru 1day lens will be available from our unique Miru WebStore where patients can purchase their lenses online. If you would like to try out these amazing lenses call 212-355-5145 to set up an appointment.

DRY EYE - Treat the Cause!



Lipiflow in the treatment of Dry Eye --- soon to be highlighted on the hit TV show 'The Doctors'

Being the first Eye Care practice in New York to use both the Lipiview and Lipiflow technology (since 2011) has not only led us to best understand this incredible analysis and treatment technology, but has allowed us to help and change the lives of countless patients suffering with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease.

Most dry eye patients with inflamed and/or blocked meibomian (oil secreting eyelid glands) would be good candidates for the procedure and this can easily be assessed and measured in office.

The treatment, if appropriate for you, helps prevent the evaporation of your tears, improves tear quality and thus keep good tears on the eyes surface for longer, aiding in decreasing associated inflammation, ultimately decreasing dryness and burning symptoms.

Dry eye disease is an extremely common and sometimes debilitating condition affecting approximately 28 million Americans. Up to 80% of dry eye disease is as a result of evaporative dry eye known as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

We here at Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick and Associates have had great success with the Lipiflow and have seen amazing improvements in both signs and symptoms with prolonged benefits in most patients. Patients report much improved comfort and we see significant clinical improvements related to their eyes and eyelids.

Lipiflow thermal pulsation offers a simple, quick, easy, safe, painless treatment solution for evaporative dry eye and has been shown to be significantly (2-3x) more effective then 10 minutes of diligent, warm compresses and lid massage done daily for several months.

LipiFlow is designed to treat the root cause of Evaporative Dry Eye, blocked Meibomian glands. Opening and clearing these blocked glands can allow them to resume natural production of lipids (oils) needed for a healthy tear film.

Remember to watch the TV show 'The Doctors' most likely being aired on May 6th, 2013 covering this innovative and novel solution to evaporative dry eye.


Please feel free to call me Dr. Kevin Rosin @ 212-355-5145 or my colleagues, Dr's Barry Farks, Jordan Kassalow, Susan Resnick and Regina Zyskowski or email me at doctors@eyewise.com with any other questions. If this is something you want to explore further it would be our pleasure to have you come in for an evaluation and to help manage this frustrating, uncomfortable and often painful condition.
