Many of us in the Orlando, Lake Nona area take our vision and eyesight for granted, until there is a problem. Ensure you and everyone in your family has a comprehensive eye exam every year, the earlier you catch a potential problem the better. The team at Lake Nona Eye Care generally sees 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.

Remembering Others This Holiday Season
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.
