Does Injection Laryngoplasty Really Work?
Kevin Ende, MD • December 13, 2019

At NJ Eye and Ear, we have had nothing but success with injection laryngoplasty. Injection larygoplasty is great for patients who may have a temporary or even permanent paralysis of one of their vocal cords. It can help with creating a stronger voice, with less hoarseness, and less risk of aspiration. A recent article in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology nicely displayed all of the benefits of injection laryngoplasty and reaffirmed its use for a variety of laryngeal issues such as clefts. If you have been living with a pararlyzed vocal cord or suffer from a hoarse voice and you don't know why, then you should call us today to investigate the cause and improve your voice.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in the United States. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye exams in New Jersey essential for protecting long-term vision health. More than four million Americans are currently living with glaucoma, and many do not realize they have it. The condition damages the optic nerve, typically due to increased eye pressure, and often begins by affecting peripheral vision. Without early detection and treatment, this vision loss can become permanent. Who Is at Risk for Glaucoma? While anyone can develop glaucoma, certain factors can increase your risk, including: Being over the age of 60 Having a family history of glaucoma Belonging to certain ethnic backgrounds Living with diabetes or high eye pressure Understanding your personal risk and scheduling routine glaucoma screenings in New Jersey can make a meaningful difference in preserving your sight. The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exams The most effective way to detect glaucoma early is through a comprehensive dilated eye exam. This exam allows your eye care provider to measure eye pressure, evaluate the optic nerve, and check for subtle changes in your field of vision—often before symptoms appear.
