BETTER VISION FOR A BETTER LIFE

Great Eye Doctors in Jacksonville FL

Finding a good eye doctor is the responsibility of every parent. Finding an experienced and board certified eye doctor has never been easier with several convenient Valuvision Eye Care locations in Jacksonville and Orange Park FL. As your child grows and gets ready for school, eye doctors can check your child’s eyes for eye movement skills, focusing skills, near vision, distance vision, peripheral vision and hand-eye coordination. That is a huge order and one that can easily be filled by our optometrists at Valuvision.

Children entering school should have a complete eye exam. The pre-school eye exam should actually be their second exam with the first having been at age 3, or as early as six months if there is cause for vision concern. When you follow a proper schedule for your child’s eye care there are many things that you can avoid. Conditions such as ADD  and ADHD can be misdiagnosed because of the symptoms of poor vision and the similarity to those of ADD. Children who cannot see get very frustrated and can get depressed because they do not have the ability to read as well as the other children. This can be due to poor vision.

Eye doctors are on alert to diagnose these eye conditions. They can also prescribe the necessary treatment to prevent worsening. In some cases, Autism can actually be misdiagnosed due to poor vision. Part of your second opinion on your child’s condition should be with eye doctors.

Adults should continue with regular visits to their optometrist. Even if adults have 20/20 vision, they should get a routine eye exam every other year. This is especially true as we age. Cataracts often develop very slowly. Often they are evident and diagnosed only after they have progressed to a point that the patient notices significant deficits in their vision. With regular eye exams, you can learn of the development and keep track of the progression without the frustration associated with failing vision. The same is true with more severe eye ailments, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Cataracts are a condition in which the lens of the eye gets cloudy or gives you the feeling that you are looking through a cloudy window. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in people over fifty five. Although some clouding may be a normal part of aging, the progression to cataracts is not normal and can and should be treated.

The lens of the eye is located directly behind the iris. It aids in accommodating your vision to light and dark. As the persons age progresses, the lens, like other body parts begins to change. They can become hardened and the lens can become cloudy. Your vision is no longer sharp and clear.

Glaucoma is another disease of the eye that needs to be monitored by eye doctors. Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve. This disease causes vision loss. This is primarily due to the increased pressure in the eye. Eye doctors easily check for early signs of glaucoma during routine eye exams and can prescribe treatment to attempt to slow its progress.

Eye doctors check for cataracts, glaucoma and other eye conditions with every eye exam. There is no shortage of excellent eye doctors in Jacksonville, FL. A quick call to any of the local Valuvision offices will lead you to one of our professional and board certified optometrists in Jacksonville or Orange Park Florida.

Eye Care is for Life at Valuvision Eye Care

Eye care for children should begin between the age three and five. If there are not issues at that point, their next eye exam should be before they start school. This is the beginning of good eye care for children. If their vision is good, routine eye care can begin.

There are some disorders such as autism, ADD or ADHD which can possibly be misdiagnosed. Although it is not always the case, conversion deficiency can exhibit some of the same symptoms as ADD. It is possible for your child to have perfect vision, exhibit the signs of ADD and not actually have the disorder.

What can it be? The second opinion that should be gotten is possibly one from your optometrist. There are excellent optometrists in Jacksonville, FL. They can determine if it is poor eyesight or conversion disorder.

Conversion disorder is a condition in which the child sees double and cannot focus at close range. It should be part of every eye exam your child has during the formative years. Often the adequate eye care can help to prevent further difficulties as your children progress through school and life.

Eye care is a lifelong process. It begins as a child and continues through life. Prescriptions should be up to date and annual checkups are in order for everyone. At Valuvision Eye Care, electronic record keeping ensure that we will always keep accurate and secure medical information.

It is also possible that people who are at the computer more than two hours each day can develop and condition known as CVS. This is computer vision syndrome. Symptoms can and often do include tired eyes, eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, aching eyes, light sensitivity and also aching shoulders and neck. There are specific glasses made for CVS and proper eye care can lead you in the right direction. With more and more desk jobs in our economy, proper eye care and routine eye exams will be more and more important in the years to come.

Other conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism can be helped with your regular eye exam and the right prescription for your glasses.

Early signs of macular degeneration and glaucoma can also be detected when you have your annual eye exam. Proper and adequate eye care covers a broad range of preventative measures. At the first sign of any difficulties with your eyes, it is advisable to get a complete eye exam. Enjoy more detailed information about detecting glaucoma and macular degeneration as well as the entire eye exam and eye care process on Valuvisions’ eye exam page.

Proper and adequate eye care can detect subtle changes in your vision. Such conditions of the eye cause a gradual decrease in your vision. Often you don’t realize that there has been a change; this is why routine eye exams are so important but unfortunately, eye care is often not given the priority it deserves. Diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and even retinal detachment can be detected with early and regular exams.

Vision is one of life’s most valuable gift that should be treated with respect. In order to do this, proper eye care is necessary. You need to visit your eye doctor on a regular basis. Eye care begins as a toddler and continues through life. Early detection and correction can prevent learning disabilities as well as other visual problems. Contact any of the eye doctors at Valuvision Eye Care to schedule an eye exam and talk about your vision needs and eye care in Jacksonville, FL.

Top 10 Myths about Contact Lenses

In this installment of the Valuvision blog, we’ll review more about contact lenses including the top 10 myths. Many patients have reservations about getting contact lenses in Jacksonville Florida, especially if this is their first time being fitted for contact lenses. Many of the concerns are simply unfounded or myths. Without further ado…

Contact Lens Mythbuster: Fact or Fiction?

  1. Is it true that a contact lens can get lost behind the eye?
    Fiction – Actually, this is nothing but myth. It is physically impossible for a contact lens, such as Acuvue 2 or Acuvue Oasys, to get lost behind the human eye. There is a thin membrane which attaches to the inside of your eyelids which prevents the contact from moving from the front surface of the eye.
  2. Is it true that some contacts cannot even be felt while wearing them?
    Fact – Depending on the brand you get contact lenses can be comfortable! The competitive free market has spurred innovation in our industry time and again. Contact lenses now have a high oxygen permeability. Our eyes are now able to breathe even with contacts lenses. The materials have become softer and hydration has become better than ever. Many Valuvision patients love Acuvue Oasys and Biofinity lenses because of the hydration they provide and because of the fact that you can barely feel them on!
  3. Can contact lenses get stuck to the eye?
    Fiction – Proper insertion and removal of contact lenses is easy. They eye keeps itself and the contact lens hydrated. As long as contacts are worn as directed this is never a problem.
  4. Contact lenses such as Acuvue are a hassle to maintain.
    Fiction – Easy as pie. These days, only one solution is need to clean and store the contacts. If that is still too much inconvenience, Valuvision carries Dailies, one day use disposable contacts. Call for details
  5. Contacts pop out of your eye and get ruined.
    Fiction! While sometime contact lenses can move around in your eye; with proper insertion they stay put. No problem!
  6. Teens are able to wear contacts.
    Fact! Many patients at Valuvision vision centers are teens and even preteens. Wearing contacts has more to do with the responsibility and attitude of the individual youth. Contacts are simply part of your teens routine like brushing teeth and flossing.
  7. People over 40 years for age should not wear contacts.
    Fiction. At Valuvision eye care in Jacksonville Florida. People of all ages wear contact lenses, including many older adults, thanks to bifocal and multifocal contact lenses and regular contacts for those with monovision. Even as eyes become dryer as people age, next generation contact lens materials, and high quality rewetting drops provide better all-day comfort than ever before.
  8. Its easier to get eye infections when wearing contact lenses.
    Fiction. While eye infections, with contacts do occur, this is a result of poor cleaning practices by the wearer. The contact lens itself has nothing to do with creating an infection. Use as directed!
  9. Contact lenses are too expensive.
    At valuvision, we have excellent price savings. We do our absolute best to beat or match any price out there. Keep in mind that for as little as the price of a soda a day, you could wear #1 doctor-prescribed ACUVUE® OASYS® Brand Contact Lenses. And with insurance coverage, your out-of-pocket cost may be even less. Plus, replacing lost lenses is cheap and easy compared to replacing lost or damaged glasses.
  10. I have astigmatism, can contacts still work for me?
    Absolutely! That is a fact. Again, innovation in the eye care industry has created excellent vision correction technologies at Valuvision eye care; we carry many brands of contact for vision correction of astigmatism including Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism Acuvue advance for Astigmatism.

With current technological advancements and excellent medical practices, there is no reason almost any patient can utilize the great functional and cosmetic benefits of contacts lenses.

Choosing the Right Contacts Brand for You

Valuvision Inc is a locally owned in operated chain of vision centers in serving the greater Jacksonville Florida area almost 40 years.

Welcome back for another informative and entertaining installment of the Valuvision blog! In our last episode we started talking about some of the reason to choose contacts over glasses. This time around we will go into which brand to choose.

You’ve made the choice to go with contacts, you’ve made your appointment at Valuvision, gotten the comprehensive eye exam, the question becomes, “Ok, great contact lenses are right for me, but how do I choose which brand? There are so many!”  The simple answer is: don’t worry! In Jacksonville FL, eye specialists at Valuvision’s are highly trained and our professional staff will guide you through which contacts are right for you. Many times this decision is simply a function of vision correction. Certain contacts are designed for certain vision problems; for example Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. Valuvision has an extensive selection of contact lenses. At Valuvision eye care in Jacksonville Florida, our vision centers specialize in giving our patients the gifted of clear and corrected vision. Contact lenses are an excellent means to fulfill our mission statement.

One of the most popular brands, by far, is Acuvue. Acuvue was the originator of the disposable contact lenses. This technology innovation literally changed the game of the eye care industry. Acuvue has consistently pushed innovation in the vision care industry. An example of their pursuit of better vision care is The Vision Care Institute™, LLC, as a professional resource for eye doctors. Another example of Acuvue’s pursuit of better vision care is the innovation of different contact lens technologies, such as Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear.

When deciding to purchase contact lenses there are a few other factor that can be included in the decision making process. For more information on contact lenses in Jacksonville FL check out our contact lens page. The first, and probably most important, is budget. The second, and equally important in most people’s view, is comfort. Comfort can be equivocated to the measure of a complex phrase, oxygen permeability. This simply means how much oxygen can get to your eye so they may breathe. Oxygen equals comfort. Acuvue Oasys with Hydroclear is one of the most oxygen permeable contacts available at 98%. Acuvue Oasys is the #1 doctor recommended contact lens available. Acuvue advance are also in demand due to their oxygen permeability of 97% Acuvue 2 contact lenses are a hydrogel lens. While not as permeable, they are soft and comfortable and may be more cost effective for some patients. At Valuvision, we have utilized Acuvue contact lenses for over 20 years.

So how do you know which Acuvue contact lens is right for you? If you are looking for Acuvue brand contact lenses in Jacksonville Florida such as Acuvue Oasys, Acuvue Advance or Acuvue 2, Valuvision vision centers in Jacksonville Fl have been serving family eye care needs almost 40 years.

Valuvision Eye Care has Acuvue, Acuvue 2, Oasys & Advance Contact Lenses in Jacksonville Florida

Thinking about trying contacts in Jacksonville FL? Looking for Acuvue Contacts in Jacksonville Florida? Looking for Acuvue 2 Contacts in Jacksonville Fl? Are Acuvue Oasys your favorite brand of contact lens in Jacksonville Florida?

Valuvision Inc. is a locally owned and operated chain of Vision Centers in Jacksonville FL serving the eye care needs of the greater Jacksonville area for almost 40 years.

If you have never worn contact lenses before, making a choice to wear contacts, much less on the proper brand of contact lens can be a bit daunting. Many brands, many styles, and functions in a very competitive industry has created many choices for the patient. This installment of the Valuvision blog is aimed at giving some clarity and insight into making a right choice for your vision and your eye health needs.

For more information on contact lenses and their history and development of contact lenses please check out the contact lens page of our site. This article will help give you some value adding information about deciding on a contact lens in Jacksonville Fl and how it relates to your eye health. First things first: Why even try contact lenses?

That one is easy to answer. Some people simply do not like the way glasses look! Remember the poor kid in grade school, little Billy, who got picked on? “Hey four eyes!” they would call him. Never mind the fact his parents picked him out the dorkiest pair of glasses in the store. Such traumatic memories could have been avoided if little Billy had come in to Valuvision and gotten fitted with the right pair of contact lenses in Jacksonville Florida. Don’t worry folks; Billy eventually did come in to Valuvision. He now wears Acuvue Oasys contacts and has adjusted into mainstream society quite nicely. Just don’t mention his old nickname “four eyes.”

The second reason to get contact lenses in Jacksonville Fl is functionality. Certain lifestyles and activities are conducive to wearing glasses. For physical labor, athletics, active lifestyles contact lenses such as Acuvue Oasys, Acuvue or Acuvue 2 brand contacts may be a much better decision. Remember the college baseball player, Sammy? Sammy went to one of Valuvision’s competitors who gave him eyeglasses without questioning Sammy about his active lifestyle. Here’s what happened: Championship game; his teams leads by 3 but its bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, full count! The pitch. The batter crushes it! Oh no! His teams’ championship dreams now rests on him. He must make this catch! He runs for it. As Sammy runs, his glasses fall off! Because of Sammy’s strong nearsightedness, he can longer distinguish the pop fly coming to him. He jumps and misses the ball as it clears his glove and the fence. Sammy’s team loses. Sammy is mobbed by his team. Tragic. This life changing defeat could have been prevented if Sammy had come to Valuvision and been fitted with the latest Acuvue Oasys contact lenses with Hydroclear for continuous eye moisture! Oh the agony of not coming to Valuvision!

The final reason to try contact lenses is vision correction. Some eye conditions and vision problems are simply not completely correctable with eyeglasses. Several benefits include a wider range of vision. This is important especially when driving or operating heavy machinery. There are some drawbacks to wearing contact lenses. That will be covered in the next installment of the Valuvision Blog. This is why it is recommended to have BOTH contact lenses AND eyeglasses. This is very important to consider when you are at you next visit to a Valuvision Vision Center in Jacksonville Florida. In later installments we will also go into Contact lens fact vs. fiction.

So the final question becomes, “Ok, great contact lenses are right for me, but how do I choose which brand? There are so many!”  That’s an excellent question and its the topic of out next blog post: Acuvue contact lenses in Jacksonville Florida. Stay tuned!

We look forward to serving your family’s eye care needs.

Looking for an Eye Doctor in Jacksonville Florida?

Valuvision Eye Care is a locally owned company with Vision Centers throughout Jacksonville Florida.

Growing up with parents as eye doctors, I got to talk a lot about eye doctors in Jacksonville FL for show and tell and book reports. When I told people my parents were optometrists,  the typical response was,”You mean eye doctors?” I would nod my head. “That’s correct.” People in need of an eye doctor in Jacksonville often ask why the eye doctor is so important. “I don’t really need to go that often right? My eye are healthy. Will they poke my eyeballs? My kid freaks out.” All of these a legitimate questions and concerns. So in this edition of the Valuvision blog I will break it all down and tell you what the eye doctor is all about.

An eye doctor is a OD, or doctor of optometry or an eye specialist. OD’s are doctors who are also referred to as eye specialist. The word optometry comes from the greek words optos and metria meaning, literally “vision measurement.” And that is what they eye doctor does. Our eye doctors in Jacksonville use sophisticated medical equipment to test our patients’ eye health and vision. Optometrists, or eye specialists,are health care professionals concerned with eyes and related structures, as well as vision, visual systems, and vision information processing in humans.

So what does the eye doctor do? When you come see one of Valuvision’s eye doctors in Jacksonville, it centers around the medical science behind the eye exam. If you need an eye exam in Jacksonville, Valuvision eye care is the right place for you. All of our eye doctors are board certified. Each eye doctor is experienced, personable and professional. Most of our patients stay with Valuvision for life because, “You have amazing eye doctors and an eye exam in Jacksonville that is second to none!” We appreciate the great feedback from our loyal patients. To meet our team of Eye doctors and medical professional and view their credential check out our about us page.

Why is visiting the eye doctor so important? Regular visits to eye doctors will detect any eye problem in its early stages which will make easy and successful treatment much more likely. Looking to get an eye exam in Jacksonville. Come to Valuvision. Our eye doctors give a thorough and professional eye exam every time. For detailed information on the eye exam process used by Valuvision eye specialists, please visit the eye exam section of our website. In summary, one of our professional staff will go over your medical history. This is a great time to mention any medical issues you are currently dealing with as well. The exam begins with an external examination. Visual acuity, pupil function, and eye movement tests are done. The visual field test checks the extent of a patient’s peripheral vision. The pressure within the eye is measured as this can be a sign of the onset of glaucoma, a serious eye condition which can lead to blindness. This is the point in the exam where the eye doctor will need to “touch your eye.” You will not feel it due to numbing eye drops, so there is no cause for concern in any eye exam at Valuvision. Valuvision Eye Care in Jacksonville FL uses the latest technology in the form of the Optomap retinal scanner to conduct the retinal and macula exam. The slit lap inspection helps Valuvision’s eye doctors see the structures of the eye more clearly. Lastly, refraction testing helps the eye doctor make prescriptions for correcting vision problems.

At Valuvision eye care in Jacksonville FL, our eye specialists are great with the kids. Getting your children’s eye examined is imperative for many things in young development. Early eye exams are also important because children need the following basic visual skills for learning: near vision, distance vision ,eye teaming (binocularity) skills,eye movement skills ,focusing skills, peripheral awareness, eye/hand coordination. Valuvision’s eye specialists recommend that a child’s first eye exam be around 5 or 6 years of age; or before they begin kindergarten unless a specific issue arises. By that age children are better behaved, able to take direction and understand why they are being examined. This lessens the probability of children having a difficult exam visit. Please remember that Valuvision’s eye doctors are great with the kids. Dr. Rauchwarger has saved many children’s eye health by finding Smurfs, Ninja Turtles, Pokemons, Spongebobs, and every other cartoon you can imagine in our young patients eyes! Our Dr. R is a big kid at heart!

In closing, the team of Valuvision’s eye doctors in Jacksonville Florida are all about taking care of you and your family’s vision. The gift of sight is one of our most precious gifts in life.

Looking for contact lenses in Jacksonville?

Are you looking for contact lenses in Jacksonville? Valuvision has been serving Jacksonville’s eye care needs and prescribing contact lenses for almost 40 years.

A contact lens, also known simply as a contact, was generally credited to have been invented Leonardo da Vinci in the 1500s. It was not until the 1800s that the first contact lenses were actually developed and began to be worn. These were rigid, uncomfortable lenses. Thankfully, in this era of advanced scientific research and competitive marketplaces, you are given much better options.

Approximately, 150 million people are estimated to wear contacts in today’s world. Contacts are made of many different materials today, and the reason for wearing contacts is just as varied. Many people wear contacts for appearance, preferring them to glasses. Many people wear contacts for function and practicality. When compared with glasses, contacts are excellent for sports and activities, are less affected by weather, and provide a wider field vision. Some patients have conditions, such as kerataconus and aniseiknoia which may not be able to be accurately corrected with eyeglasses. Whatever the reason for wanting to wear contacts, they do provide the same corrective purpose as glasses. At Valuvision, our optometrists and trained staff pride ourselves on giving our patients the gift of clear and corrected vision.

Contact lenses have several functions. Typically, contact lens manufacturers create a brand name based on functions. Valuvision of Jacksonville Florida has every major brand and function of contact lenses available for our patients. Most patients seek contact lenses for their corrective function. People want to see clearly! Valuvision has been helping our patients see clearly with contacts for almost 40 years. You can rest assured you will receive the right prescription to correct your eye condition; be it myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism or presbyopia. Recently, contacts have gained popularity as a cosmetic. Many people enjoy the freedom of having the eye color they have always wanted. Valuvision carries colored contacts for all your cosmetic needs.

There are several types of contacts. A daily wear contact is meant to be removed before going to sleep. An extended wear contact is designed for continuous wear overnight for up to a week. New research and development in the optometric industry has created new materials including silicone hydrogels, can be worn for up to a month with proper maintenance and cleaning. Extended wear contacts are becoming more popular due to the convenience. Extended and continuous wear contacts are able to worn for such long periods of time because of the high permeability of oxygen which keeps the eye healthy and causes less complications associated with contacts (such as infection).

Valuvision has an excellent selection of daily and extended wear contacts. We look forward to fitting you and your family with the right pair of contact lenses soon.

Do you have the eye disease Glaucoma in Jacksonville Florida?

Valuvision and out team of highly trained and board certified optometrists have been treating glaucoma patients in Jacksonville for almost 40 years. We use state of the art equipment and give each patient a thorough and comprehensive eye exam to help diagnose glaucoma.

Some facts about Glaucoma:
Glaucoma is a disease that damages the optic nerve, the part of the eye which transports visual impulses to the brain to be interpreted to create the phenomenon of “sight.” If untreated, Glaucoma leads to progressive nerve damage and irreversible loss of vision eventually resulting in blindness. High pressure in the fluid of the eye is commonly correlated to the disease and is a red flag during an eye exam.

Glaucoma has earned the moniker “silent thief of sight” because the loss of vision normally happens gradually over time and is only recognized when the disease is quite advance. This is known as “open angle” glaucoma and is a very important reason to make sure to schedule you routine eye exams. 90% of glaucoma cases in the United States in “open angle.” This means that most glaucoma will go unnoticed if not found during an eye exam by your optometrist!  “Closed angle” glaucoma, which only accounts for 10% of the cases in the U.S., is marked by a much more acute onset. Typical symptoms include sudden eye pain halos around lights, red eye, nausea and vomiting, sudden decreased vision and a fixed, mid-dilated pupil. If you or anyone you know has any of these symptoms, call your optometrist immediately, it could be an ocular emergency. Valuvision’s team of eye doctors have years of over 100 years of combined experience. We are honored by the opportunity to serve you and we take the responsibility of maintaining the vision health of you and your family seriously.

A Brief overview of Glaucoma’s causes:
Different demographics do have different probabilities of developing glaucoma. Those with related conditions may have a higher chance as well. Those of African descent are three times more likely to develop primary open angle glaucoma. People who are older have thinner corneal thickness and often suffer from myopia. They are also at higher risk for primary open angle glaucoma. People with a family history of glaucoma have about six percent chance of developing glaucoma. Many East Asian groups are prone to developing closed angle glaucoma due to their shallower anterior chamber depth, with the majority of cases of glaucoma in this population consisting of some form of angle closure. Inuit also have a twenty to forty times higher risk than Caucasians of developing primary closed angle glaucoma. Women are three times more likely than men to develop acute closed angle glaucoma due to their shallower anterior chambers.

Other factors can cause glaucoma, known as “secondary glaucomas,” including prolonged use of steroids (steroid-induced glaucoma); conditions that severely restrict blood flow to the eye, such as severe diabetic retinopathy and central retinal vein occlusion (neovascular glaucoma); ocular trauma (angle recession glaucoma); and uveitis (uveitic glaucoma). Those at risk for glaucoma are advised to have a dilated eye examination at least once a year.
