- Get Longer, Fuller Lashes with Latisse® November 12, 2009
We're sure you've seen the commercials with Brooke Shields promoting Latisse®. Now The Aesthetic Center at Affinity offers it to you! Latisse® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes. It is designed to grow lashes longer, fuller and darker.
Latisse® works by increasing the duration of the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle as well as by increasing the number of hairs produced in this growth phase. Eyelash growth is a gradual process; therefore, most patients begin to notice a change around 8 weeks and see full results around week 16.

- Dr. Peaslee Touches Lives in Georgia October 29, 2009
The most touching moment of today came from one Georgian man in particular. This Gentleman came in complaining he could not see well. He had NEVER worn glasses! He held up spherical trial lenses, and the look on his face was a reminder of why we do this. It was incredible!
But it gets even better. I told him that we would probably not have glasses strong enough for him but that Donna would likely have something that would at least help. As it turns out, she had nearly his exact Rx, to include a +2.25 add. He put them on and looked around the room and out the window in total amazement at the leaves on trees, texture on the walls, ect... The glasses did not fit well and were sliding down his nose, so Donna took them to be adjusted. When she turned around, he was trying to wipe away tears so she would not see him crying in joy. These people of this country are wonderful, and they are such a joy to work with.

- Returning to the ReSTOR Platform September 21, 2009
Ophthalmologists are diagnosing and treating cataracts at an earlier stage and patients are living longer and expecting optimum visual performance. I started out as a comprehensive ophthalmologist 10 years ago, and then developed a referral network for cataract surgery. I currently do 20 to 30 cataract procedures a week between my three locations in South Georgia.
- Full-time laser good news for South Georgians May 7, 2009
As LASIK surgery becomes a more popular way for correcting vision, the demand for the service in South Georgia has increased. Dr. Scott Petermann is meeting that demand. Petermann, an ophthalmologist with the Affinity Health Group, added his own laser to his Valdosta office in February 2007. Now, patients can choose to have all of their pre-operation and post-operation visits in Tifton or Valdosta while having their actual surgery in Valdosta. Previously, the laser used in the procedure was not available on a full-time basis - leaving little flexibility in scheduling.
