Eye Exams for Preventive Care

Maintaining your eye health involves preventative care. At Uptown Eyecare, serving Hunters Creek, Orlando, and Lake Nona, we provide eye exams for the whole family to detect eye health conditions and provide optimal vision correction.

When Should You Visit the Optometrist?

Don't wait until you are experiencing vision problems before visiting the eye doctor. If you stay on top of your annual eye exams, vision issues can often be avoided. Each member of your family needs an annual eye exam with a trained optometrist.

What To Expect

When you first visit the eye doctor, we will perform a vision screening. This test examines your vision. Remember, vision screenings are often part of an eye exam, but they are not the entire eye exam. Don't confuse a vision screening, such as those done at school, with a thorough eye exam such as those you will receive from an optometrist.

After the vision screening, you will have a thorough eye health exam. This part of the exam is the most crucial to your long-term vision and eye health. Many health conditions can be detected during an eye health exam. Even health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be diagnosed during this exam.

Glasses

It is important to remember that not everyone will need glasses or contacts. Glasses or contacts will be prescribed for you if the eye doctor determines that you need corrective lenses. If corrective lenses are recommended, it is important to use these lenses to prevent further vision problems and avoid eye strain.
