Eye Doctor

[the square]

My wife is looking to get a complete eye exam to determine if she needs new glasses or not. We haven't been to an eye professional since arriving and we could use some help. Has anyone had a good experiance with any eye clinic??
Thanks

Peepers at Colony. Professional exam and quality service.

Just curious - when you visit these eye doctors, how long do you actually spend with the doctor? My husband and I just had eye exams at Mid-Florida Eye and after having the technicians do all the checking (better one, or better two?. . . ) the doctor came in, looked into my eye with a light, and said everything was OK. Although that was nice to hear, I had to ask if there was a prescription for new glasses - did my eyes change from last year? Only at that point did he mention I could pick up a prescription on my way out --- and that it hadn't changed too much. I wasn't impressed.

Is this typical?

I think you must be prepared, when visiting any doctor, with questions that you want answered. Time is money to them and if you don't ask, they will move on.
My doctor at Ocala Eye in TV will spend as much time as needed to answer my questions. Talking about golf or the weather, not so much. I am satisfied with my care.

Dr. Morris at Ocala Eye is very thorough. When he comes into the examining room, he reads over all the results from the tests the technicians performed, does additional eye exams, sits and talks with you and asks if you have any questions to discuss. Your eyeglass prescription is handed to you directly before you leave the room. I have never felt rushed.

Dr. Armstrong at Ocala Eye at Laurel Manor.

[Shimpy]

Dr. Zeini and Eyes located at Southern Trace.

I'll second that.

They are like going to your reg. family doctor now a days. The doctor doesn't weigh you, or take your blood pressure. If you have questions then make them answer them.
Dr Zeini I thought was an exceptional eye doctor and did both my cataract surgeries and I have been very pleased.
If you are just getting new glasses then I guess any optician can check your eyes and prescribe new glasses.

My recommendation is for Ocala Eye, Laurel Manor, and Dr. Menjivar.
I had an emergency issue with my contacts and he was able to see me and provide care within the day. Have been back several times and think he is one of the best eye care providers I've ever had.

I would recommend any of the doctors at Ocala Eye. I've been going there for 9 years, have a very complicated prescription and have never been dissatisfied. I was referred to Dr Polack by my eye doctor @ Rush Presby in Chicago. If I need a new eyeglass prescription I go to Dr Menjivar.
