The momentum continues to build at Essential Eyecare & Optical to make quality eye care more accessible than ever before.

“ With the construction of our new building almost complete, we’re poised to move forward with our top-notch eyecare services to the local community and the surrounding area. This decision was made with our patients at the forefront, aiming to better cater to their needs,” stated owner and operator Dr. David Dada, OD/BS, owner of Essential Eye Care & Optical.

And now, that summer approaches, it will bring fun outdoors activities like lounging on the beach or by the pool, taking summer vacations, and a host of outdoor sports. But as temperatures heat up, it is crucial to protect ourselves from more than just sunburns. As you prepare yourself and your family to enjoy the outdoors this summer, don’t forget a plan for keeping the eyes protected, as well. Most people don’t realize the sun’s UV rays are as damaging to their eyes as they are to their skin. If you take a few simple steps to protect your eyes, you can still have fun in the sun. Make wise and informed decisions about polarized sunglasses, goggles, hats and other protective gear, stated Dr. Dada.

Essential Eyecare & Optical specializes in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that can affect your vision, many of which do not have obvious symptoms. They recognize how age and risk factors affect vision over time for both the young and old. They take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options, and listen to your eye care needs.

Essential Eyecare & Optical offers a full range of eye health service to clients of all ages, from children to older adults: providing routine eye exams and vision tests, eye disease diagnosis and management, immediate attention for eye emergencies, and complete eye health management. And they offer corrective laser eye surgery co-management, as well.   

“Eyes are important indicators of overall health for everyone.  Comprehensive eye care goes beyond a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. At Essential Eyecare & Optical, we take the time to get to know you, your eye care history, and your vision needs. We provide the expert care, advice, options, and the follow-up you need, whether you are a new patient or an existing one,” stated Dr. Dada.

If your child struggled this year in school, it might be time to schedule an eye exam. Vision problems usually start gradually, and when left undetected, it can impact your child’s performance both in and out of the classroom. Vison problems in children can interfere with reading skills, attention span, social interaction, and can also affect their confidence with their peers. Common signs that indicate a child might be having difficulty with their vision or eye health are tearing, squinting, light sensitivity, and frequent headaches.

An Apopka native, Dr. David Dada attended high school at Forest Lake Academy. He earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from Gainesville’s University of Florida, and a Bachelor’s of Vision Science and Doctor of Optometry at NOVA Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale.

Dr. Dada’s comprehensive professional training has taken him to various state-of-the-art clinics, such as the VA Clinic, specialty OMD clinics, and various OD-OMD practices. These experiences have shaped him into an exceptionally skilled optometrist. His passion for outreach has led him to participate in different mission trips, including the National Optometric Student Associate and One Sight.
