It’s important not to wait until you notice a change in your vision before scheduling your annual eye exam because eye problems are many times silent and present no symptoms. A recent study found that one in four adults were unaware that an eye exam could prevent them from losing their eye sight. Even if you’ve had laser vision surgery or have naturally good vision, it’s important to see your eye care professional annually. During your exam, a SNEAD EYE GROUP physician will look for eye muscle imbalance, vision disorders, and eye disease that could potentially cause future problems.

So don’t wait until a street sign looks blurry, or you have trouble seeing objects close up. In addition to detecting vision changes, regular eye exams can also detect life-threatening conditions such as high cholesterol and even brain tumors. The slower months in Southwest Florida are a good time to visit SNEAD EYE GROUP.

During the month of August, SNEAD EYE GROUP is offering 30% off eyeglass frames in our optical department.

Snead Eye Group will be performing eye and cataract screenings at the LCEC Health Fair for all LCEC employees. Just as it is important to visit your medical doctor for a yearly check-up it is equally important to have routine eye examinations with your eye care specialist on a regular basis. Dr. John Snead suggests that you make good vision as much a part of your health plan as you would your scheduled visits to your doctor or dentist. Healthy vision promotes a healthy lifestyle.

Cataracts May Cause Auto Accidents!

Older drivers with cataracts, even only in one eye, have a greatly increased risk of car crashes according to a study published in the national journal Archives of Opthalmology.

Dr. Cynthia Owsley, and other researchers at the University of Alabama, studied 274 older drivers.

Even though most of these older drivers with cataracts thought that they saw perfectly, they were six times more likely to have automobile accidents.

Their vision, as measured by vision charts, did not predict which older drivers were likely to be involved in accidents.

Many older drivers are driving with impaired vision and don’t even know it, and by age 75, cataracts will affect a majority of all people.

Snead Eye Group offers the latest methods in cataract detection and treatment with state-of-the-art technology and a professional, caring staff who understands the needs and concerns of our patients. A diagnosis of cataracts does not have to interfere with the quality of life you deserve, including your ability to drive at night! Our surgeons perform thousands of cataract removal procedures a year. Our practice is know throughout Southwest Florida as “one of the best” in the field of opthalmology as evidenced by the number of patients referred everyday by their friends, family and other doctors in the community.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cataracts, call our office today for a cataract evaluation. Our goal is to provide as much information as possible to assist in your decision making process.
