Dr. Ireland-@ St. Lukes--the best , most modern equipment--when the Admiral was on another health plan-she used Mid Fl eye for one procedure, when she went on medicare , she went to St Lukes a world of difference--world class vs a meat mkt
Dr Ireland-did both my eyes-I used laser surgery with proprietary lenses--been good for 5 years

Dr Ireland is great no doubt. So many people I know have been give back their sight by her. I would have used her to but there was an insurance problem.
I went with Dr. Wehrly, Lake Eye. Beautiful Job on both eyes. I'm grateful.

Depends on your insurance - Lake Eye has good opthamologists - both my wife and I used them for catatacts

I am very impressed with Dr. Jodie Armstrong at Ocala Eye, office across from Laurel Manor Rec Center, off 466.
I cannot believe how perfectly I see. She has stellar background. Georgetown. And she is both smart and kind.

Another vote for Lake Eye, my Dr is Scot Holman and have enjoyed great success. Most likely all the recommendations you get here will be fine since those making the recommendation have also enjoyed success.

Another vote for Dr Armstrong of Ocala Eye. She did a wonderful job and accepts Medicare. She is very busy, if that says anything.

And another vote for Dr Holman at Lake Eye. He has done close to 20,000 cataract surgeries. I also had the laser procedure vs a knife. Most cataract surgeons in this area have done far more of these than any other area of the country. Even a place like John's Hopkins, their most prolific surgeon may do a couple hundred a year. Here they do close to a 1000 a year. So your probably fine with any of the major eye places. I did do a lot of research and my findings were that the 3 surgeons at Lake eye had each done a lot of them. I think the one who had done the least had done over 12,000 cataract surgeries. So that is where I decided to go.

Dr Panzo at Mid Fla Eye on 441, Summerfield did my surgery last year. I've been using them for all my eye appointments for 15 years. Highly recommended.

Dr Scott Wehrly with Lake Eye did both of mine, 5 years ago, with multi-focal lenses. Very satisfied and don't need glasses, at all, since the surgery.

I had my eyes done by Dr. Gutti at Lake Eye Associates. A nice guy with expert skills. It was painless. The hardest part of the whole affair was having to take a nap in the afternoon after the surgery (I jest!).

Dr. Kimberly Ireland at St. Luke’s.
Dr. Ireland is maybe the most sought-after cataract surgeon in The Villages. She did both my eyes successfully and without incident.

I went to Ocala Eye and they were great. Originally I went to Lake Eye but gave up when the Dr. I saw told me he didn't do surgery and then they failed to follow up with me.

My wife and I both had surgery for cataracts Plus near and far corrective lenses added. Great job and worth every penny.

I was pleased with the results at Ocala Eye BUT...most follow ups were in their multiple offices in Ocala. Felt I was a long distance commuter and thank God for my GPS in locating those offices in Ocala. The surgery itself is also done in Ocala.
Would use a local eye center if I were you, unless you (rather your driver since you cannot drive after eye dilators applied)like driving

I've been told that St. Luke's is the best, I'm blind in one eye and have a cataract on the other eye, the only one who wants to do it is the VA. so I'm between a rock and a hard spot.

Then you have to pay extra for surgery center - not so w/St. Lukes

I recently used Dr. Seaborn Hunt III of Ocala and The Villages for Cataracts, Astigmatism correction, and a glaucoma stint. My eyes are now 20/20. He and his staff are very professional and will take care of you. I know one other person that also used Dr. Hunt and he was also satisfied.
