Central Florida Green Guide

After trying to wipe the newest scratch from my glasses of 5 years, I recently decided it was high time for a new pair and for an eye exam for that matter.  I decided to try the newly built location of Advanced Eyecare of Central Florida that is located near State Route 46 and Orange Boulevard in Sanford.

Dr. Christy Larson was very attentive and took lots of time to engage in conversation about my eye health and also spoke with me in depth about the importance of healthy nutrition!  We discussed an issue I had in the past with dry, red eyes before I tried drinking the recommended amount of water each day.  She confirmed the importance of drinking plenty of water to re-hydrate the body, including the eyes, and also believes drinking water has played a key role in the disappearance of my dry, red eye symptoms. 

After deciding on new glasses versus contacts, Dr. Larson offered a new procedure for me to think about for the future.  It is a surgery-free alternative to LASIK called Advanced Orthokeratology!  The AOK contact lens is worn at night to change the shape of the eye while sleeping.  Excellent uncorrected vision during the day can be expected in most cases.  It is very exciting that there is a less invasive alternative to LASIK and also that, unlike LASIK, the AOK lens can be fine-tuned throughout life to conform to visual changes.

From their knowledge of natural approaches to their vast selection of designer frames to the quick turn around time for prescription glasses, Dr. Christy Larson and her partner and husband, Dr. Ben Larson offer a great practice to visit for eye care.  For more information, visit their website or brand new facility.
