Myopia Control & Vision Therapy Experts In Tampa, Florida

I love Dr. Nate, Christina and the entire staff. They always treat us like family!! Three years ago, I went in to get glasses for reading. I was tired of wearing the “cheaters” and doing the glasses on, glasses off thing all day. I was fitted with progressive lenses and was pretty happy. I would go to work, put in my glasses and I was good to go. About a year ago, I noticed it was getting difficult to see more things, like items on the shelf at a grocery store. I was also having to wear my glasses to even cook in my kitchen! So I decided to go in because I was tired of wearing glasses for 90% of my day. I couldn’t see the buttons in my new car, but I could see a tiny bird a hundred yards away. I asked if it was possible to wear contacts and still be able to see distance. Dr. Nate said "yes, it is an option for most people but will take some patience and adjustment as your brain adjusts.” I was fitted for contacts and for the first time in a year, I could read my phone without putting on glasses!! Then Christina walked me through the do's and don'ts of contact lenses. She also made sure I could take them out and put them in again. I left there so happy. I wore the contacts as directed for 4 hours and was sad to take them out and have to wear glasses the rest of the day. Day two, I got up and put the lenses in and went on some errands. I was like a little kid reading price tags and products I normally could only see with glasses. My husband thought it was so funny that I was that excited about looking into my purse and being able to see everything! It wasn’t just a giant BLUR!! Also, day two my vision was much clearer. Dr. Nate explained it can take a full week to know if these are the right lenses. Another great thing about this process. When I go back for my one week visit , if my vision isn't exactly what I want, there are other options. They will fit me with another week supply for NO CHARGE! Once we have found the correct lenses, I can buy one month at a time or up to a year supply. Basically whatever my budget allows.
