SHOWCASING THAT HIS OLYMPIC GOLD at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver

was no fluke, Steve and his Night Train won first place at the first World Cup

Bobsled Competition this season.

Steve remarked, "Everybody expects

you to win, wondering if our Olympic

win was a fluke. For me to come back

and duplicate it nine months later is a

relief.” Steve held the German team to

second place—they provided heavy

competition even after the post-Olympics

retirement of their lead driver Andre

Lange nicknamed “The Cannibal.”

Seems there’s a new “American

Cannibal” on the track. Go, Steve, Go!

Is the Plastic Water BottleYou Are Drinking from

A Risk to Your Health?

Setting an Example for Micaela andJordanna by Their Dad’s Training and Racing in Rowing Regattas

“I HAVE BEEN ROWING “UP A STORM” since returning from my rowing trip on

Thames River in England last summer. I rowed and raced in college when

I was at UCLA and at Edinburgh University in Scotland on a Rotary Scholarship. I

always missed the ability to race following the college experience. Since being

back on the water again in Marina del Rey, I was happy to learn that anyone over the age of 27 is automatically

called a “Master” and there are even people competing in their 70s and 80s!

I recognize that my renewed interest in rowing and competing also provides an important example for our

daughters Micaela and Jordanna, now almost 5 years old. They see their dad train and prepare for months to

attain a goal on race day. This is a very important example for the girls since life is now often about receiving

things instantly. For example, when most of us were kids and we needed a definition of a word, we pulled out

Webster’s Dictionary exerted a little effort to flip through the pages and look up the word. Now, students merely

type the word into the Internet and, voila, there is the definition in seconds.

In November and December I raced in two regattas: one in Marina del Rey and the other in Long Beach. Selina

and the girls were on hand as the best cheerleaders to root me on through the finish line. After the Long Beach

race, Jordanna and Micaela helped me “derig” the boat for transport back to Marina del Rey and “rig” it

together back home. It was a wonderful family experience! You can watch race video on our Facebook page

MY STORY

PLASTICS IN OUR KITCHEN are every-where from the Ziploc freezer bagsand Glad sandwich bags to Tupperwareand Rubbermaid juice boxes. It’s morethan just in the kitchen though—plasticis the most widely used material in theUnited States and is found in toys,office products, and even clothes!Some plastic food containers have

plastics that can transmit chemicals to your food (and you then eat or drinkthe chemicals) while other plastics are considered safe. All plastics are givena number from 1 to 7 which denotes a different type of resin in the plastic—flipover your plastic container and you’ll find a number inside a triangle on thebottom of the container. Here’s what the numbers mean:

1 (PETE chemical) Often for soft drink, water,and cough syrup. Safe for single use.

2 (HDPE) Examples are milk jugs, toys, liquiddetergent, and shampoo bottles. Safe formultiple uses.

3 (V or PVC) Meat wraps, cooking oil bottles,and plumbing pipes. NOT safe.

4 (LDPE) Cling wrap, grocery bags, sandwichbags. Safe for multiple uses.

5 (PP) Syrup bottles, yogurt cups, diapers.Safe for multiple uses.

6 (PS) Disposable coffee cups, clam shell-looking, styrofoam take out food containers,plastic knives, forks, and spoons. NOT safe.

7 (PC or PLA) older style baby bottles, 5gallon water bottles like at the water cooler,some reusable water bottles. NOT safe.

What to look for in the store or your kitchencabinets and why?

Since our practice is largely built on word-of-mouth referralsfrom patients, we are ALWAYS appreciative to our patients,especially those who refer those in need of help to us.Patients frequently comment that they have never before

been to a doctor’s office likeours. The office itself feelsmore like a spa from themoment you step in. But thetrue feeling patients canreadily palpate is thatEVERY staff member atBWVI truly cares abouthelping patients. You can’tfake caring! This quarter’spatient referral winner is Mike Dyer! Mike is the Deputy FireChief in Santa Barbara and had LASIK with me over 10 years ago.Thank you, Mike!

…(drum roll)…MODERN DAY EYE proce-

dures for Keratoconus

not only help patients

improve their lives, but

do so with a minimal

amount of disruption to

their work or school

schedules. Years ago I

developed the method

to perform Keratoconus

treatments on both eyes on the same day—Holcomb C3-R®,

Intacs®, CK for astigmatism, and Visian ICL. This reduces

the “back and forth” to the office, so patients can get

back to their daily routine quickly and with the expectation

of improved eyesight!

Advanced KeratoconusTreatment: Having Both Eyes

Treated on Same Day

The safest plastics are considered to be 2, 4,and 5. They don’t transmit any known chemicalto your food or drink. These containers arerecyclable too. Containers with 1 on it arefine for single use, but do not recycle these.They are meant for single use only since theplastic absorbs bacteria that are hard to clean.

Why avoid these plastics?

3 chemicals interfere with hormonal devel-opment and are carcinogenic

6 Styrene can leach out which is possiblycancer causing according to InternationalAgency for Research on Cancer.

7 Bisphenol which disrupts hormones and hasbeen linked to cancer and obesity.

How can you remember 2, 4 and 5? Try this littlerhyme: “Two, Four, and Five Will Keep Me Alive”.(…and yes, I did make that up) Say it at loud tohelp you remember.

Visian ICL Featured on CBS News Throughout the United States

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE suffer from the hassles and inconveniences of contact lenses maintenance, tearing a contact lens, losing a lens,

and the nuisance of depending on an aid to see properly. Glasses do not always provide comfortable vision and the peripheral vision can be

especially bad. That is the reason CBS News featured BWVI and the Visian ICL. They followed the story of our patient Melinda Reichenbach,

a nurse, who had a high prescription and was frustrated when “contacts break and a piece sticks in the eye and takes an hour or two to work

to get it out.” CBS followed her before and after the ICL insertion. Melinda does not need to worry about her traditional

contact lenses again. Click on www.ICLinfo.com to learn how Melinda regained her freedom!

SHOWCASING THAT HIS OLYMPIC GOLD at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver

was no fluke, Steve and his Night Train won first place at the first World Cup

Bobsled Competition this season.

Steve remarked, "Everybody expects

you to win, wondering if our Olympic

win was a fluke. For me to come back

and duplicate it nine months later is a

relief.” Steve held the German team to

second place—they provided heavy

competition even after the post-Olympics

retirement of their lead driver Andre

Lange nicknamed “The Cannibal.”

Seems there’s a new “American

Cannibal” on the track. Go, Steve, Go!

Steve Holcomb Wins FirstPlace in First Post-Olympic

World Cup Competition

PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC RED EYES or yellow eyes or eyes with dark

spots on the whites that look “stained” can all be severely emotionally

affected by the constant line of questioning from co-workers, friends,

and even strangers. “Did you get

enough sleep last night?”, “Did you

party too much last night?”, “Are you

smoking pot?”, “Are you tired?” Over

time repeated questions like these can

grind down self-esteem and in some

cases lead to social withdrawal. In gen-

eral, eye doctors do not take these

patients’ concerns seriously and often

insensitivity respond with “You’re

eyes are healthy. Just deal with it.”

Fortunately, there is now a procedure that whitens eyes, removing

the excess red veins, yellow areas, and brown “stains”. Please visit
