Clermont Eye Care
It has been said by some that the eyes are the windows to the soul. However, even though the message is less poetic this message is even more important – the eyes can reveal whether or not you have certain overall health problems. When you come into Clermont Family Eyecare for a comprehensive eye exam, our optometrist will not only be able to tell if your eyes are healthy, but she will also be able to determine whether or not you may be having certain important medical problems. This is just one reason why you will want to visit us for
Clermont eye care on a regularly scheduled basis.
At our practice, you will be able to have a comprehensive eye exam by our optometrist, Dr. Samantha Love. Dr. Love has been providing exemplary
Clermont eye care to our patients for many years. During a comprehensive eye exam, she will check your eyes for their visual acuity and prescribe prescription lenses or contact lenses if it is determined that you are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. A comprehensive eye exam will also ensure that your eyes are screened for a variety of eye diseases including: glaucoma; diabetic retinopathy; cataracts; macular degeneration; retinal tears; dry eyes; and other problems of the cornea macula and retina. However, when our optometrist looks into your eyes, she will also be able to see whether or not you are suffering from certain serious medical conditions.
Having a yearly eye exam is important not only for protecting the health of your eyes, but for protecting your good general health, as well. When you have a regular eye exam, our optometrist will be able to see whether or not you have signs of certain health conditions including diabetes, high cholesterol, or even a brain tumor. In fact, having a comprehensive idea exam is a great way to detect certain serious medical conditions before other symptoms occur. By looking in your eyes, our optometrist can clearly see your blood vessels, arteries
and a cranial nerve – all of which are good indicators of your overall health. If our optometrist detects blood in the back of your eye, it is one of the early signs of diabetes. Should this occur, it will be very important that you see your general doctor regarding diabetic treatment. High blood pressure can also be detected. A routine eye exam can also discover a brain tumor which has not yet caused any symptoms in the patient. Coming into our practice for periodic
Clermont eye care is not only good for your eyes, but it is good for your overall health as well.
