Optometric
Expressions 
Dr. Douglas Swanson O.D.
Have you ever had your pupils dilated for your Optometrist to look more deeply into your eyes?
If so, you know the uncomfortable feeling following the examination; your vision is blurry and your eyes sensitive to light hours after.
If you have your eyes examined by Dr. Douglas Swanson, you won’t experience that unpleasant side effect. Dr. Swanson uses a Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope that allows him to capture a wide-field digital retinal image without dilating the pupil.
And, the image is available immediately for review of a variety of eye and non-eye diseases and disorders, such as age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, and several others.
As your eyes are the window into the world, it is important to have a regular eye examination that includes retinal imaging. It’s quick, easy, and best of all painless.
For more information and to schedule your eye exam, call Dr. Douglas Swanson.
Optometric Expressions is located at 55 Horton Plaza (on Broadway Circle across from the NBC 7/39 building). Douglas is a Downtowner living in the Marina neighborhood.

Snore no More!
Are you awakened from a deep sleep by a poke in the back and someone whispering, “roll over, you’re snoring”?
Or, are you the unfortunate one, who night after night, has a difficult time falling asleep because your significant other’s snoring is keeping you awake?
Do you know that snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes a person to stop breathing from a few seconds to nearly a minute, hundreds of times a night. When the brain senses a lack of oxygen, breathing resumes with a loud, sometimes explosive, snore.
One form of treatment that has proven successful in keeping the upper air passages of the mouth and throat open is wearing an acrylic appliance during sleep. The appliance is easy to use; it just slips over your teeth.
Whether, you have sleep apnea or your nose just sings as you are sawing logs, call Dr. Duguid. He can help you and your significant other have a peaceful night’s sleep.
For more information or an appointment to be fitted for an appliance, call Dr. Duguid at (619) 234-7222. He’s located in the Horton neighborhood at 230 West G St.
