A Letter from the Administrator
Focus on Men: The Top Five
Men’s Health Threats and Ways
To Prevent Them
Shellie Brewer, RN, LNHA
Administrator
With the upcoming celebration of Fathers’ Day, we thought we would
feature some tips that will keep the men in our lives healthy and happy. Do
you know the top threats to men’s health in the United States? The following
list, compiled by the CDC, may surprise you. However, with preventative care
and lifestyle changes, you can reduce your risks.
NO. 1: HEART DISEASE
Heart disease is the leading killer
of men in the United States.
Studies have proven that hearthealthy diets and the following
lifestyle changes can reduce your
risk of a heart attack:
• Don’t smoke.
• Eat a healthy diet.
• Include physical activity in your
daily routine.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Limit alcohol.
• Manage, don’t compress,
stress.
NO. 2: CANCER
Early detection is the key to
beating cancer. Regular visits
to your physician are critical,
as well as the scheduling of
procedures such as annual
colonoscopies, prostate exams
and skin cancer screenings.
NO. 3: ACCIDENTS
We live in a fast-paced world,
and accidents happen. Don’t
forget to do simple things like
wear your seatbelt, follow the
speed limit, stay away from
power lines, and operate tools
and machinery with the proper
safety equipment.
NO. 4: CHRONIC LOWER
RESPIRATORY DISEASES
As men age, chronic lung
conditions such as bronchitis
and emphysema become
growing concerns. To protect
your respiratory health:
• See a doctor if you have a
cough or cold that won’t
go away.
• Don’t smoke.
• Steer clear of pollutants.
NO. 5: STROKE
You can’t control some stroke
risk factors such as family
history, age and race, but you
can control other contributing
factors. For example:
• Know the warning signs and
make sure your family knows
them as well.
• Work with your doctor to
manage chronic conditions.
• Maintain a healthy diet and
exercise routine.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Understanding health risks is one
thing. Taking action to reduce
your risks is another. Start with
making simple healthy lifestyle
choices – enjoy a balanced
diet, stay physically active, quit
smoking and get regular checkups with your physician.
We are committed as a facility to understanding our patients’ experiences and
identifying ways to continually improve. We have partnered with the National
Research Corporation, a survey expert, to administer new patient surveys.
Shortly after your visit here, you may receive a questionnaire asking about your patient
experience. Please honestly answer the questions and return the completed form.
We need to hear from you in order to improve our quality of care.
This is just another way that we’re listening to you, our valued patients.

From the Desk of the Director of Nursing:
Diagnosing and Treating Cataracts
Wendy Edwards, RN
A cataract is a common eye condition where the lens becomes
progressively opaque, resulting in blurred vision. Having a cataract can
be compared to a dirty camera lens or a foggy window.
Symptoms
• Blurred vision, especially in bright light
• Double vision
• Difficulty reading or seeing clearly in the distance
• Difficulty driving at night
• Change in the appearance of colors, especially
fading or general yellowing
• Frequent eye prescription changes
Causes
There are many causes of cataract formation;
however, aging is the most common.
As people grow older, changes to the protein
that make up the lens can occur, leading to the
development of cloudy areas.
Cataracts can be hereditary and are occasionally
seen in infants and children. Injury to the eye may
also cause a cataract, as well as the use of some
medications such as steroids. Medical problems
such as diabetes can be associated with cataract
formation, most often in younger people. Previous
eye surgery and other eye diseases may also
cause cataract formation.
Diagnosis
A thorough eye examination by an ophthalmologist
will determine whether a cataract is present. In the
early stages of cataract development, a change
in glasses may be all that is needed. A complete
eye examination will also determine if there are
other causes of vision loss, particularly problems
involving the retina or optic nerve.
Risk Factors
Research suggests that some factors may
increase the risk of age-related cataracts
forming, including:
• Diabetes
• Family history of cataracts
• Use of steroid medication over time
• Poor diet and smoking
• Excessive exposure to sunlight over time
Treatment
A cataract does not have to be removed just
because it is there. Surgery will be considered
when a cataract causes enough vision loss to
interfere with daily activities such as working,
driving, reading or watching TV.
Surgery is the only effective way to remove a
cataract and is usually performed in a hospital’s
operating theatre under a local anesthetic.
The cataract is removed using a microscope
and miniature instruments. In most cases, an
intraocular lens implant is placed in the eye to
restore the focusing power of the natural lens. If an
intraocular lens is not implanted, cataract glasses
or a contact lens will be needed after surgery.
Further Information and Support
For more information on cataracts, visit
www.lei.org.au. If you have any questions or
concerns about any aspect of cataract care,
please discuss these with an ophthalmologist.
