There are some individual and business tax relief provisions in the Stimulus Act.

Temporarily, a business owner can expense up to $250,000 of qualified equipment rather than depreciate it over time. This benefit will continue to phase-out on a dollar-for-dollar basis once qualified equipment purchases exceed $800,000.

The Stimulus Act also extends the availability of the 50% bonus depreciation provision for capital expenditures incurred in 2009.

Finally, the act extends the two-year carry back provision for net operating losses to three, four or five years thereby increasing the likelihood,availability and amount of refund to enhance a business’s cash flow.

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD’s) are injuries and disorders of the muscles, tendons, joints, and spinal discs. Examples include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and lower back pain. Of course, the best way to deal with MSD’s is to prevent them. For example, the Haag-Streit slit lamp BQ 900 can be supplied with an inclined eyepiece adaptor. This simple but effective device allows the eyepieces to be inclined upward by 20º from their traditional horizontal position. The examiner can sit with a relaxed, natural posture with no kinking of the cervical vertebrae.

We can add the Inclined Adaptor to existing BQ 900 slit lamps, in your office, in minutes, with no disruption to patient scheduling.

More than half of all Americans develop cataracts by age 80. In observation, the AAO offers several tools to increase awareness of cataracts. Doctors can download patient hand-outs and talking points at www.aao.org/aaoesite/eyemd/cataract.cfm.
