Questions Answered by Dr. Fountain

I had an orbital blow-out fracture with muscle entrapment 20 years ago. I am 38. I had three surgeries in that general time period. An implant was placed in my left lower orbit and the muscle freed from the entrapment. (11/03/2009)

I keep hearing about these new vibrating mascara products that boast 7,000 oscillations per minute. Are these safe to use? (10/14/2009)

My father was recently assaulted resulting in a detached retina and several fractures (maxillary, nasal). The eye basically exploded with the impact; there was no eye pressure. He obviously has lost vision to this eye. (10/01/2009)

I barely have any eyelashes. It’s been 10 years since my eyelashes have been that way. I started using Latisse and stopped using it because I ran out of application and had very little result and it got expensive. (09/14/2009)

Is there a treatment that causes eyelashes to grow and become thick? Mine didn't come back right after chemo (04/06/2009)

My son is a tennis player and is out in the sun for long periods of time. He wears a hat but should he also be wearing sunglasses? I have heard from some experts that sunglasses are actually not good for your eyes. (03/16/2009)
