Back from the Future
I just had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at the newly designed WebMD. Most 'redesigned' websites are typically more cosmetic, that is to say, more style than substance. Not so with WebMD. They have dropped the engine and replaced the transmission!
This WebMD overhaul has been in the works for a long time and I know you will be pleased with all of the upcoming improvements.
They won't let me divulge everything but I did spend time at the new WebMD Eye Care Center. It is extremely well-organized and very easy to navigate. One cool feature is a new visual symptom simulator that gives members a realistic feel for the kinds of changes generated by various eye problems: cataract, glaucoma, etc.
There is also a huge directory of all the different kinds of refractive surgery procedures. You know, the alphabet soup (PRK, LASIK, AK, etc.) They are all presented in one location. Soon I will be able to respond to Message Board inquiries with a simple link to that very informative page. In case you were wondering, members can easily enlarge the screen print size with one click. It's something many of you have requested.
I've hardly begun to showcase all of the innovations at the WebMD Eye Care Center. You'll need to see it yourself to appreciate all that will soon be available. Coming soon to a browser near you!
