Comprehensive Eye Examinations

It is recommended that patients schedule a comprehensive eye exam annually to ensure optimal eye health. Regular testing for children is crucial to monitor vision development and prevent any potential impact on academic performance. Older adults, who are more susceptible to eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts, should also prioritize regular exams. Even if the eyes are healthy, these exams allow doctors to examine the blood vessels of the eye, aiding in the early detection of chronic conditions such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Early detection often enables timely treatment interventions.

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are a popular vision correction option, providing an alternative to traditional eyeglasses. These small, thin lenses are placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Contact lenses offer several advantages, including a wider field of vision and greater freedom of movement when playing sports or participating in other high-energy activities. There are a number of different types of contact lenses available, including:

  • Rigid gas permeable
  • Extended wear
  • Disposable daily wear
  • Bifocal or multifocal

To ensure safe and comfortable use, it is important to consult with an experienced eye care professional for a proper fitting, prescription, and guidance on lens care and maintenance.

Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses remain a versatile and stylish option for vision correction. We offer a variety of high-quality lenses and frames to fit every need and lifestyle.

Premium Lens Options

We provide advanced lens technologies from leading manufacturers like Hoya, Zeiss, and Essilor® (which also encompasses Kodak and Shamir), ensuring superior clarity, comfort, and durability. Options include:

Stellest® Myopia Lenses

Essilor® Stellest® lenses represent a major breakthrough in the management of childhood myopia, and board-certified ophthalmologist Leslie Garay, MD is proud to be among the first providers in the Orlando area to offer this advanced technology. Recently granted FDA market authorization, Stellest® lenses are the first and only spectacle lenses shown in clinical studies to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. For families seeking an effective, non-invasive solution to help protect their child’s long-term vision, Stellest® lenses offer an exciting new option.

What sets Stellest® lenses apart is their innovative design, which features two complementary components working together to both correct and control myopia. The central portion of the lens functions like a traditional single-vision lens, providing sharper and clearer vision for everyday activities such as reading, classroom learning, and outdoor play. Surrounding this zone is the brand’s proprietary “H.A.L.T. technology,” a pattern of precisely calculated lens segments engineered to create a signal that helps slow the eye’s elongation, a key driver of myopia progression.

In clinical studies, this unique design has shown remarkable results, slowing myopia progression by an average of 71% when worn as recommended. This makes Stellest® a highly effective spectacle-based myopia management tool. The lenses are known to be comfortable, easy for children to adapt to, and seamlessly integrate into their daily routines. No drops, no devices, and no complicated maintenance.

Since childhood myopia tends to worsen quickly, early intervention is essential. Stellest® lenses can not only support clear sight in the present but also help protect a child’s future ocular health by reducing the risk of high myopia–related complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

These lenses serve as an important addition to Dr. Garay’s comprehensive vision care offerings. By providing Stellest®, Dr. Garay ensures families in the Orlando area have access to one of the most advanced, research-backed solutions for controlling nearsightedness in children.
