After more than 20 years in practice and caring for 100,000+ patients, Dr. John Ormando has learned something important:
Sometimes what looks complicated has a much simpler explanation.
Your child canāt focus.
They avoid reading.
Theyāre athletic, but struggle to track or catch a ball.
They complain of headaches we dismiss as stress, screens or being tired.
Sometimes the first question should simply be:
Are they seeing properly?
As a father of five, Dr. Ormando has seen this at home too. His own wife didnāt think she āneededā glasses ā but once she started wearing a mild prescription, she stopped squinting and her headaches improved.
And this is important:
Doctors often suggest inexpensive readers first because we do not want people spending money unnecessarily. I do this myself. We are medical professionals first ā not here to sell you glasses you donāt need.
But after seeing the difference the right prescription has made for his own family, friends and patients, Dr. Ormando also believes that when a mild prescription is appropriate, it can make everyday life noticeably more comfortable.
Glasses are not always necessary. But sometimes taking the strain off your eyes can make a bigger difference than you expect.
We use our eyes every waking moment ā and today theyāre working harder than ever with screens, bright lights and constant visual stimulation.
Dr. Ormandoās mission has always been simple:
Help people see more clearly.
And if cost is getting in the way, talk to us. Weāll figure it out together.
Read the article. Then make the appointment. One eye exam may explain more than you expect. šļøš
