Went to see Dr. Samy, part of the group of specialists who work for Ocala Eye. He is board certified and a retina specialist. He graduated from Yale School of Medicine and did his residency at Harvard Medical Center in Boston.

I feel very good about his credentials, his ability and about Ocala eye in general.

My wrinkled retina seems to be part of the aging process and he suggested I buy the over the counter eye vitamin suggested above and also said that anything that would improve my general health would improve my eye health. I first saw Dr. Jodie Armstrong M.D. there for a much needed and far too long put off eye screening and exam.. They are very thorough and very professional.

They have offices both in Ocala and near Laurel Manor Rec Center in The Villages. Dr. Samy only sees patients in Ocala.

I had hesitated because I thought if I get the wrong one, they will do cataract surgery whether it is needed at this point or not. Apparently I don't need cataract surgery just now and I feel that my eye health will be monitored by ethical and well trained physicians. That is a relief. I find that a lot of NEW friends these days are doctors.
