Eye exams
for Cancer Detection explored on Good
Medicine Web Show
Newswise — As part of its ‘101 Ways You Can
Help Fight Cancer’ campaign, the Institute
for Good Medicine at the Pennsylvania
Medical Society has dedicated its next Good
Medicine web show to eye cancer and the
importance of eye exams to detect eye
cancer.
The web show can be seen on the Family
Health and Wellness website at
http://www.myfamilywellness.org/Videos/Eye-Cancer.aspx
or on YouTube at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4UPd21UDMc.
During the three-minute web show, Peter S.
Lund MD, founder of the Institute for Good
Medicine, hosts Michael J. Azar, MD, an
ophthalmologist from Monroeville, Pa., who
describes eye cancer and offers tips on how
to avoid it.
Dr. Azar, a member of the Pennsylvania
Medical Society, is also a past president of
the Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology.
Good Medicine is a spin-off of the Institute
for Good Medicine’s monthly print column by
the same name.
It is written by Dr. Lund while tapping
Pennsylvania Medical Society members to
cover topics ranging from flu shots to
tobacco use.
Like the print version, Good Medicine is
designed to educate the public on ways they
can contribute to their health care through
healthy living, thus hopefully avoiding the
need for future medical help.
Additional information on ‘101 Ways You Can
Help Fight Cancer’ may be found at

Medicine at the Pennsylvania Medical Society
for patients.
Both the print and web show versions of Good
Medicine are provided free to the media for
their use either in print, on the web, or on
the air. Community groups and schools are
also welcome to use these materials for free
in their newsletters and web sites.
