Providing the Gift of Sight to Ohioans this Holiday Season

Online, December 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - MIDDLEFIELD, OHIO (December 10, 2009) - Dr. Craig Smargiasso, a new provider for comprehensive eye care, is pleased to announce affordable eye glass and contact lens exams to Middlefield, Ohio. This holiday season, Dr. Smargiasso is suggesting the greatest gift of all, to take care of your eyes and to visit your local eye doctor.

"By taking steps to prevent and treat vision problems, patients can improve their quality of life and lessen their economic impact of future vision loss," said Dr. Smargiasso, new optometrist at the Walmart Vision Center. "Oftentimes, patients wait too long to visit their eye care professional and vision problems can worsen over time."

During the tough economic times, many Ohio residents are cutting back on their routine medical visits. However, the best prevention of vision loss is through early detection and regular comprehensive eye exams. In 2008, the Economic Impact of Vision Problems reported that the number of Geauga County residents affected by vision problems could nearly double in the next twenty years if patients don't visit their local eye care provider.

Dr. Smargiasso's office is committed to providing the highest standard of eye care. The doctor and associates' extraordinary skills combined with affordable pricing, make this the year that you, or someone you love, can finally achieve superior vision care. His office currently offers the following services to both children and adults: spectacle exams, contact lens exams, pediatric exams, infections and red eye treatment, eye injury and foreign body removal, ocular disease evaluations and treatment, cataract and glaucoma evaluations, and diabetic eye exams. The practice now accepts OptumHealth (Spectera), Davis, and other vision insurance plans.
