Overview
Dr. Umar Ahmed practises at the Haines City office on Patterson Road in Polk County, between Orlando and Lakeland. He sees adults and children for comprehensive eye examinations, glasses and contact lenses, and for the medical eye care that sits behind those visits.
An examination with him takes in sight and prescription at distance and near, how the eyes work together, the lids, tear film and cornea, eye pressure, and a careful look at the retina and optic nerve with imaging where a baseline is useful. Central Florida’s year-round sun and the number of patients living with diabetes make the retinal half of the exam the part that earns its place.
He sees patients for first glasses and first lenses, for the near blur that arrives in the forties, for dry, gritty eyes, for diabetic and glaucoma monitoring on a schedule, and for problems that need attention the same week: red eyes, grit and metal in the eye, infections, new floaters or flashes. Cataract and laser surgery patients are measured, referred and followed here before and after the operation.
His licence is verified against the Florida Board of Optometry register. Vision and medical plan cover varies, so check yours with the Patterson Road office when you book.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Ahmed?
Call the Haines City office in Haines City, Florida on 863-421-2700 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Ahmed by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Ahmed?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
