Resident and volunteer, EdgarCartagena spent his own money ($33) andchose a lime green color to repaint thegraffitied park. While Cartagena was tryingto match the Hunter Green of the ParksDepartment flag, many feel that he missedthe mark and made it look like a kids playground.What is clearly missed here is thatthese were volunteers that took their owntime and money and dedicated it to improvingtheir community. Many people have notrouble walking by trash on the sidewalkwithout picking it up. But we make a hugedeal about a paint color when a hard workingperson takes their hard earned moneyfrom their pocket and time from their families,to make our community a prettier place.After all, these volunteers, some of themVeterans, even claimed to have contactedthe Parks Dept. about the paint beforehandand it was left up to them.The Parks Department now has plansto repaint the park in time for the parks90th anniversary.AN EYE ON GUTHRIEBY DEBRA S. GUTHRIE, M.D.123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789Dr. Guthrie,I am comfortable walking around blurry. I don’t feel the need for correction. Is that OK?During my almost 26 year career in Ophthalmology I have had patients that are 20/20thinking that there vision is not good enough and at the other end of the spectrum patientswith 20/100 feeling that they see perfectly well. Of importance is what one’s daily life isall about. Of course if your occupation is all about driving good vision is important fornavigating and for the safety of those around you. Our computer oriented society putsunusual demands on vision. It is very important to have proper correction to minimizeeyestrain when working hours in front of the computer. For those that are casual readers itmay not be necessary to need “perfect” vision. At office visits with my patients I am alwaysasking what do you daily, what needs may you have for reading, driving, watching TV,sports, etc. Good seeing vision may be different for us all, but what isn’t different is makingsure you get annual comprehensive eye exams with your Ophthalmologist. It’s importantto be checked for glaucoma, macula degeneration, cataracts, dry eyes, and diabetic retinalexams. Making sure the eye is healthy helps maintain good vision. No pair of spectacles,contact lenses, laser vision correction can help a person who has already lost vision fromglaucoma or diabetes get it back. As we cruise through 2013 make sure to get acomprehensive eye exam. Enjoy the Spring!To Advertise E-mail SSabba@<strong>Woodside</strong><strong>Herald</strong>.com or call 718-729-3772
