Eyes.com empowers patients with reliable information on eye conditions, treatments, and diseases
TUCSON, AZ, February 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A nationwide network of recognized board-certified ophthalmologists create a new website dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to accurate, up-to-date information on maintaining and improving eye health. All information on www.eyes.com is reviewed by a select board of ophthalmologists--including William J.

Unlike many websites, Eyes.com is committed to ensuring its content is timely, accurate, and comprehensive.
"We are so pleased to be a part of www.eyes.com and to be a founding member is quite a privilege. Working with such a prominent group of ophthalmologists was a very rewarding experience, and providing such a comprehensive site to consumers is an excellent way to put out a vast amount of eye health and vision correction information to large numbers of people quickly and efficiently," says Dr. Fishkind.
Fishkind, Bakewell, & Maltzman will be regular contributors to Eyes.com through their Arizona Vision Blog. Other practices across the country will maintain similar blogs to ensure a lively, varied, and ongoing discussion on the latest trends and developments in ophthalmology.
Eyes.com is already a comprehensive website on the eyes, eye health, and eye medicine, covering topics as diverse as basic anatomy, everyday health issues, and advanced treatment options. Whether a person is looking for information on LASIK, the signs of macular degeneration, or how working at a computer affects your eyes, Eyes.com has the information patients need.
