It is time to call and schedule an eye exam for children, students and adults. Just as you are shopping for notebooks and school supplies, scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is a great way to insure your child will have a great learning experience. Too often parents don’t realize vision is one of the most valuable tool for success.
New patients are welcomed at Lake Nona Eye Care, we look forward to staying pro-active in protecting your child’s vision. The American Optometry Association (AOA) suggests that a back to school eye exam will insure that your child has good cognitive processes which affect his or her reading, writing and computer work. This is key to your child’s classroom accomplishments. They’ll start school knowing their eye health is being managed with great care.
It is reported that over 60% of students who have learning disabilities, may suffer from undetected vision issues. We promote good vision care at an early age. Pediatricians may perform tests periodically to catch any issue that may arise from birth to pre-school. Children are much more responsive to treatment when it is diagnosed early in life.

Why comprehensive exams matter
As children become more frequent users of technology, eye doctors should warn parents about the signs or symptoms of CVS or undiagnosed vision problems that indicate the need for an eye exam. The AOA warns that one in four children has an undiagnosed vision problem simply because they may not recognize that their eyesight isn’t optimal or is changing.
“Comprehensive eye exams are one of the most important investments a parent can make to help maximize their child’s education and contribute to overall health and well-being, especially since some vision problems may not have warning signs,” Dr. Friedman adds. “Unfortunately, parents and educators often incorrectly assume that if a child passes a school screening, their vision is fine.”
Catching issues early is an important key to everyone’s long-term vision health. Dr. Ward and the Vision Team at Lake Nona Eye Care provides a comprehensive eye examination in a positive relaxed environment for children and adults, ages 5 and up.
