Whether it’s for your regular yearly eye exam or for the most sophisticated ocular, medical or surgical treatment, the team of board-certified ophthalmologists at Lake Eye looks forward to helping patients see the world more clearly. One thing is certain: when you put your eye care in their hands, you will have the best opportunity to preserve or restore your vision and prevent vision threatening eye diseases.

Lake Eye Associates provides comprehensive eye care; from routine exams for eyeglasses and contact lenses to highly specialized surgical procedures for treatment of cataracts, glaucoma and other eye conditions. Of course, such great care would not be possible without Lake Eye’s excellent team of opticians. Take Linda Minor for instance. She is a board certified optician who has been in the business for 21 years. She works at the company’s office in The Villages. “We’re a one-stop optical store where you see an ophthalmologist and then come directly to us,” she said. “We offer two-year warranties on all our lenses and frames, and customers can come in here anytime and have them adjusted. I enjoy getting to know patients and help assisting them in finding glasses that best suit their needs. We have a very good team here and everyone is willing to help and cooperate. I feel like part of a family.”

Nila Pitts works at the Eustis location. She has been an optician since 1970. “I love working here at Lake Eye. I’ve only worked for one other ophthalmology practice in my life. Here, we truly go above and beyond to satisfy our patients. There’s never a boring day because we get such a diverse group of patients visit our office on a daily basis. I’m fortunate to be part of such a good team.”

Optical assistant Sharon Deveney echoes those sentiments. She is currently working to earn her LDO (Licensed Dispensing Optician) license. “I have learned a lot by working alongside Linda Minor. She has been great to show me the ropes, which is important since I’ve only been working here since April. As a matter of fact everyone here has been very grateful in assisting me.”

Jeannie Galloway began her career at Lake Eye two years ago. She started working at the front desk but advanced to optical assistant. “It looked like lots of fun working in the optical department so I decided to give it a shot,” she said. “I received lots of support when I made the transition. I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m the kind of person who enjoys working with people in general.”

What’s New at Lake Eye?

The company is proud to introduce Varilux Physio progressive lenses for individuals who have presbyopia, a vision defect that with aging reduces the ability to focus at all distance ranges. These lenses use revolutionary technology so users can see near, far, and everything in between. Varilux lenses enable the eyes to make a smooth, gradual transition when changing focus from near to intermediate to far vision. Unlike bifocal lenses, Varilux lenses eliminate the line that creates an abrupt, annoying vision change from near to far vision.

The added comfort of Varilux is achieved with an increased field of vision. This larger vision field reduces unnecessary head movements both vertically and horizontally, which means patients can assume a more natural, comfortable posture when viewing objects.
