Many of us living in the Orlando area take our vision and eye sight for granted, until there is a problem. The fact is studies show most Americans would rather lose their hearing before their vision. Lets hope you never have to make that choice, but maintaining healthy vision takes effort on your part.
Ensure you and everyone in your family has a complete comprehensive eye exam every year, the earlier you catch a potential problem the better. The team at Lake Nona Eye Care generally see those with diabetes or glaucoma about every 6 months. If you have any warning signs such as; eye pain, blurred vision, increased floaters, light sensitivity, or loss of side vision, you should call us right away for an appointment.
This holiday season let’s not forget about those around us, our neighbors and relatives, our vision may be good but theirs may not. Maybe they need a ride to a doctor’s appointment, the store, or just a day out. For many any amount of vision loss can be distressful, especially for our senior who can no longer drive due to medical or vision problems.
We use our eyes from the time we wake up in the morning until we go to bed at night, constantly processing information, don’t take them for granted. Take care of your vision by making an appointment today with Dr. Ward and the team at Lake Nona Eye Care.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lake Nona Eye Care encourages everyone to learn more about breast cancer and support those who are suffering with the disease. Though we have made great progress in early detection, cancer treatment and finding a cure, we still have a long way to go.
