BusinessRadioX


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 16, 2014

On January 2, 2014, host Tanya Mack of The Doctors Roundtable on BusinessRadioX® sat down with Dr. Marc Lay to talk about the causes, symptoms and treatments for Computer Vision Syndrome.

Marc Lay, O.D., specializes in treating ocular disease with Georgia Eye Physicians in Duluth, Georgia. Dr. Lay completed his doctoral research on Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), often caused by unsuitable work environments and improper use of eye glasses and contacts. Symptoms are typically associated with “near work” and can include: eye fatigue, dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. Treatments range from limiting exposure, to redesign of work environments (lighting, computer settings), eye drops and proper use and fitting of eye devices.

The American Optometry Association reports that in Western cultures, many American workers spend hours looking at computer screens. The Vision Council reported in 2012 that 70% of Americans will experience some eye strain from looking at digital devices annually.

According to Dr. Lay, “Computer eye strain is the first computer related health complaint. Some vision health care experts report that if you are looking at a computer screen or digital device for more than 2 hours per day, you have a 90% chance of developing CVS.”

Dr. Lay went on to explain that CVS also affects work performance and the bottom line for companies with a significant workforce that works on computers and digital devices. “It is becoming a public health issue as in 2013, over 10 million visits to eye professionals were made for CVS.”

To learn more about Dr. Lay’s work with Computer Vision Syndrome, tune in to this episode of The Doctors Roundtable.

Marc Rubin Joins Canvas as Chief Financial Officer


Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 16, 2013

Canvas, the global leader in mobile apps for businesses, today announced that Marc Rubin has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer.

Rubin brings to Canvas more than 20 years of financial and operational management experience, with a proven track record guiding startups and technology companies through aggressive growth and expansion, including many rounds of venture capital financings. Marc has served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer at several well-known and successful fast growth technology companies in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Sequoia Software (IPO; Acquired by Citrix), Sourcefire (IPO; Acquired by Cisco), and Rovion (Acquired by Gannett). Prior to working with emerging businesses, Marc worked in finance and accounting management positions at Black & Decker and London Fog.

“Marc is uniquely adept at providing financial guidance that propels growing businesses through the corporate life cycle – from startup, through capital raises, hyper-growth, IPO and acquisitions. This is a result of Marc’s ability to not only perform traditional CFO functions, but also to provide the cross-functional support fast growth companies such as Canvas benefit immensely from, such as day-to-day operations, HR and marketing,” said James Quigley, co-founder and chief executive officer. “We feel extremely fortunate to have Marc as a part of our management team, and Canvas will benefit greatly from his insights and expertise.”

Most recently, Marc was the founding partner of ArcPoint Partners, providing outsourced finance, accounting, and HR services to tech startups across New York, Silicon Valley, and the Mid-Atlantic. One of these clients was Canvas, and it was during this outsourced relationship that Marc observed Canvas’s growth and recognized the opportunity to become a more integral part of the company’s future.

“Canvas possesses all the elements of a company poised to dominate its market for years to come, including a stellar management team, leadership in an exploding mobile enterprise market, and a diverse customer base,” adds Rubin. “The more I worked with Canvas over the past several months, the more impressed I became, and believe the sky is the limit for the company going forward.”

Canvas’s mobile app platform enables organizations of all sizes – ranging from Fortune 100 firms and nonprofit organizations to one-person businesses – to replace cumbersome paper forms with highly customizable mobile business apps that enable organizations to save money on their data collection processes and boost productivity. The firm’s Application Store now has more than 11,000 ready-made apps that can be customized to an individual business user’s needs, and Canvas also offers a do-it-yourself app builder toolkit enabling non-technical users to build mobile apps in minutes.
