There was also an interesting lecture called the Artist’s Eye that demonstrated how painters of the 1800s, as they developed cataracts, lost the blue spectrum of light and how it altered the colors in their paintings.

Dr. Finkelstein also attended a lecture with Dr. Bradford Shingleton and Dr. Ney of Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston about the latest advancements in glaucoma surgery and treatment. For more information, call 508-693-3517.
