A MESSAGE FROM KIM Dear DellaMonica Family, We are half way through the middle of the year and a lot has happened and will continue to happen! Some of our programs such as SU CASA are ending. Thank you to all the contrib-utors who have played a role in facilitating the workshops and the participants who showed up for the sessions. I also want to thank Councilman Constantinides for his yearly sup-port. Your patronage is appreciated. June is Men’s Health awareness Month stop by
our center and listen to some of the great lectures we have put together for you. Not only that but June is also FATHERS APPRECIATION MONTH. We will be honoring all the fathers with a celebratory party. As the summer months sneak upon us, I would like to remind everyone who will be attending the center that we are a “COOLING CENTER”, which means an-yone from the outside can come in and cool off. As al-ways, please bring a sweater for your comfort as the cen-ter will be colder than usual. Lastly, join us on June 28TH as we say well wishes to
Jennifer who will be leaving for maternity leave.
As we continue through the rest of the year, please contin-ue to come in and support our center,
Thank you again!!!!

Three Things Patients Should Know About Cataracts
Approximately 25 million Americans have cataracts, which causes cloudy, blurry or dim vision and often develops with advancing age. This June, Dellamonica-Steinway Senior Center joins the American Academy of Ophthalmology in observing Cataract Awareness Month by sharing three things everyone should know about the condition and its treatment.
As everyone grows older, the lenses of their eyes thicken and become cloudier. Eventually, they may find it more difficult to read street signs. Colors may seem dull. These symptoms may sig-nal cataracts, which affect about 70 percent of people by age 75. Fortunately, cataracts can be corrected with surgery. Ophthalmologists, physicians who specialize in medical and surgical eye care, perform around three million cataract surgeries each year to restore vision to those pa-tients. Get an idea of what someone with cataracts might experience with the cataract vision simulator at: https://www.aao.org/eye-health/resources/articles
The following are facts people should know about the condition.
Age isn’t the only risk factor for cataracts. Though most everyone will develop cataracts with age, recent studies show that lifestyle and behavior can influence when and how se-verely you develop cataracts. Diabetes, extensive exposure to sunlight, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure and certain ethnicities have all been linked to increased risk of cata-racts. Eye injuries, prior eye surgery and long-term use of steroid medication can also re-sult in cataracts. If you have any of these or other risk factors, talk to an ophthalmologist.
Cataracts cannot be prevented, but you can lower your risk. Wearing UV-blocking sun-glasses and brimmed hats when outside can help. Several studies suggest that eating more vitamin C-rich foods may delay how fast cataracts form. Also, avoid smoking ciga-rettes, which have been shown to increase the risk of cataract development.
Surgery may help improve more than just your vision. During the procedure, the natu-ral clouded lens is replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens, which should improve your vision significantly. Patients have a variety of lenses to choose from, each with different benefits. Studies have shown that cataract surgery can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of falling. If cataracts are interfering with your ability to see well, consider asking your ophthalmologist about cataract surgery.
A life-changing surgery At age 49, Michael Sargent’s vision had become so impaired by cataracts that he couldn’t distin-guish shapes or colors without his glasses on, even if objects were right in front of him. His oph-thalmologist recommended cataract surgery.
“Having the surgery was life-changing,” said Sargent, who lives in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. “I can see everything from the time on my alarm clock to a bird’s nest in a tree hundreds of feet away without glasses. It’s the most amazing experience I’ve ever had.”
