San Juan Capistrano, CA, December 25, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Jim Sears, formerly of CBS's award
winning The Doctors Show, spoke for the babies and the smallest of the smallest babies who needed a
voice.
Dr. Sears knows babies, in fact his entire family (brothers & father) are pediatricians. His mother is a
pediatric nurse as is his wife. As a pediatrician known best for his family's kid-centric practice in the
charming little coastal town of San Juan Capistrano, "Dr. Jim" is loved by his littlest patients and parents
alike. Dr. Jim gave the babies a voice in his keynote Speech at The American Safe Sight Foundation
(ASF) annual gala on November 21st in the cozy beach-side town of Dana Point, California.
Over one hundred VIP guests and community medical leaders gathered as Dr. Jim Sears spoke on behalf
of the premature babies in neonatal units all across the U.S. who are needlessly exposed to a preventable,
sight threatening viral eye infection through no fault of their own.
Cluster infection outbreaks from unsanitary equipment and inadequate sterilization have been well known
in neonatal units where the most delicate of delicate and struggling preemies are nurtured in incubators.
Preemies are known to be at risk for very special eye conditions caused by their failure to develop fully in
the mother's womb. As a result, preemies must undergo an eye examination in the neonatal unit. It is
therefore a tragic consequence of these unsterile eye exams with contaminated equipment by
ophthalmologists whereby these preemies are quite needlessly exposed to any variety of intractable eye
viruses, particularly "EKC" or Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis. EKC remains a viable threat to infant
health and eyesight, with potential lifelong eye damage and corneal injury.
Dr. Jim Sears in particular referenced the large reported data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
reports whereby outbreaks in U.S. neonatal units were reported.
Dr. Jim Sears' speech and video is available on www.SafeSight.Org, the American Safe Sight
Foundation's website for EKC Prevention.
