Peoria, IL – January 2012 – Illinois Eye Center is pleased to offer the Autograph II lens, a new high-definition eyeglass lens that can potentially give patients sharper vision than what is possible with conventional lenses.

The Autograph II uses patented eye point technology to determine where the patient looks and places any distortion away from that area. This technology is a truly individualized progressive or single vision lens that is made to order. All other lenses have a fixed design, meaning the progressive is placed in the lens prior to surfacing. In true free form technology, we begin with a single vision blank and create the progressive for each individual patient; it is said to be as unique as a fingerprint. This process provides the highest detail vision available on the market today.

These lenses are fantastic for patients who:

• Want the most advanced and accurate progressive lens
• Have complex sphere, cylinder, or axis prescription
• Want the sharpest distance vision possible
• Need a wide corridor
• Need a very short segment height (11mm minimum)

Peoria, IL – 10/03/2011 – A new technology called HydraFacial™ is making a big splash in Peoria! Aesthetics at Illinois Eye Center is very excited to offer this non-irritating, serum-based skin resurfacing system to the community.

With results comparable to chemical peels and microdermabrasion – without the discomfort or downtime – clients are finding this new approach a refreshing and relaxing alternative.

The exceptional effectiveness of HydraFacialâ„¢ is due to its use of specially formulated serums in combination with a vacuum-based skin abrasion tip. It removes dead skin cells and impurities while infusing healthy underlying skin with deep cleansing, extracting, exfoliating and antioxidant serums. The proprietary serums are clinically formulated to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, congested pores, hyper-pigmentation and acne-prone skin.

The patented disposable HydroPeelâ„¢ tips have a multifaceted spiral construction. That increases the time the serums are in contact with the skin while also providing superior exfoliation by presenting multiple planing surfaces. The result is a cool, comfortable process that leaves the skin radiantly clean, refined, moist and polished.

HydraFacialâ„¢ is appropriate for most skin types including thin or aging skin, ethnic skin and oily skin. The technology was developed by Edge Systems Corporation, a worldwide leader in manufacturing aesthetic and medical devices. Located in Southern California, the company is known for its high quality, leading edge skincare products and systems.
