Why should you schedule an appointment for an eye exam?
Life gets busy, it is easy to put off having an eye exam, but over time everyone’s eyes change. Eye fatigue, tiredness, and headaches can be resolved just by having a regular eye exams.
Good vision is important for everyday life. If you haven’t had an eye exam in a while, you just don’t know how well you could be seeing. Quality vision enables children to learn better and adults to work better.
Many eye diseases don’t have any symptoms. Glaucoma, known as the ‘thief of sight’, macular degeneration, and cataracts, develops slowly and without any pain, people rarely notice their eye sight decreasing.
Other issues such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes, some cancers, and other serious illnesses, can be detected by a comprehensive eye exam.
If it’s been a while since you’ve been to an eye doctor, contact Lake Nona Eye Care for an appointment, we are happy to help you with any concerns or questions you may have.
During an eye exam, Dr. Ward performs a quality, comprehensive examination of your eyes, ocular health and visual system to ensure your eyes are visually healthy. Through tonometry, which measures the pressure inside your eyes, you are screened for glaucoma. Dilating the pupils will enable Dr. Ward to examine the internal structures of the eyes. This includes, the posterior portion of your eye where the retina, optic nerve, veins and arteries can be viewed directly, providing a clear picture of your vascular health
Dr. Ward also performs several tests to evaluate eye muscle capabilities. Depth perception, peripheral vision, color vision, responsiveness to light and other tests are performed, to determine whether the eyes are moving, focusing and working together properly. Dr. Ward will diagnose any conditions that may be impairing your vision and the ability to focus.
