I-BRITE Eye Whitening:
It’s Not What You Think
I’VE BEEN WORKING ON A PROCEDURE for the past 13 years to remove
the bloodshot appearance of eyes, yellowing and brown pigmented
spots on the whites of the eyes. Within the last year the process has
been named I-Brite. To many, making the eyes whiter may simply
seem like a cosmetic procedure. The opposite could not be more true.
Unbeknownst to those without the condition, people who live for many
years with discolored
whites of the eyes have
the emotional effect of a
more traditional ‘disfigurement’, such as missing Before I-BRITE Eye Whitening.

people with chronic
bloodshot eyes (or other
eye discolorations) are

asked questions like, “Are you tired? You look like you didn’t get a good
sleep?” or even “Are you doing drugs or smoking pot?”
Even if others don’t ask, the non-verbals are there when people
take a closer look at the eyes and likely view them differently or with
suspicion. After many years self-esteem and self-confidence can be
eroded in some patients. Moreover, doctors simply dismiss patients’
concern with “nothing can be done—you just have to live with it.”
I-Brite is having the same type of life-changing impact as procedures such as LASIK, Visian ICL, C3-R, Intacs, and Cataract Natural
Lens Replacement. In other words, it’s not strictly about cosmetics;
it’s really about removing a long-standing stigma that is freeing and
boosting to confidence and esteem. More detailed information can be
found at www.boxerwachler.com/whiteeyes.

passion for the Bobsled sport
due to his Keratoconus. The U.S.
Olympic Team, coaches, and team
doctors virtually refused to let him

done in the past 50 years! With his

When you’re talking on your cell phone, switch ears regularly so that you don’t
concentrate the exposure in one area.

At the American Academy of Ophthalmology in San Francisco in October, I was warm! The weather there is often opposite
to what you’d expect in that city. Mark Twain once remarked, “The coldest Winter I ever spent was the Summer in San
Francisco!” At this conference, I presented research on C3-R (transepithelial collagen crosslinking) for Keratoconus.
Specifically, we reported safety data. We have never had any adverse side effects aside from temporary scratchiness.
Re-treatment data was also presented after 4 years which found that only 1% of patients required a second C3-R treatment
which is the same retreatment rate as the more invasive epi-off crosslinking technique. All of our presentations are now posted
on our site www.keratoconusinserts.com/research. For those who wish to learn more about reasons the epithelium does not
need to be removed, please see www.keratoconusinserts.com/crosslinking.
As mentioned earlier, NBC Nightly News covered Olympian Steve Holcomb’s journey of overcoming Keratoconus to become
a world champion. I-Brite™ Eye Whitening was featured on Dr. Phil’s The Doctors and CBS News—both
news segements can now be viewed by searching the term I-Brite on www.YouTube.com. I-Brite was
also covered by a number of other shows and news stations which will air shortly.
In the radio world, Dr. Bruce Hensel kindly invited me to be on his radio show to speak about LASIK vision
correction. The Mancow Radio show interviewed me about a variety of topics: Steve Holcomb's story about
Keratoconus and the upcoming Olympics, LASIK, and restoring vision to those who are blind; we were also
supposed to talk about stem cells for macular degeneration but ran out of time. The next newsletter will give you an
update about this promising stem cell research for macular degeneration which is just starting in the United States.
I was really touched when a colleague of mine dedicated his new book Color Atlas of Ophthalmology to me. I really
don’t think of myself as being of the type (or of the age) to have such things dedicated on my behalf, but it gave
me pause to realize that my work and research over my career thus far has had some effect on others. I suppose you
never know how you and when you will have an impact on others.

Important Safety Information
Do not use LATISSE™ solution if you are allergic to one of its ingredients.
LATISSE™ solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at
the base of the eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. If you have a history
of abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP), you should only use LATISSE™ under the
close supervision of your physician.
LATISSE™ use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible.
Although not reported in clinical studies, LATISSE™ use may also cause increased
