Can anyone recommend a good cataract surgeon here in TV or nearby?

[seashorecaroline]

Dr. Holman at Lake Eye is fantastic. I had both my eyes done and would highly recommend him.

you'll get a plethora of responses here but Dr. ElMallah at Ocala Eye is very good. He's also a glacoma specialist as well.

Look for a surgeon that has experience implanting many different kinds of IOLs for the best recommendation for your eyes.
Medicare and most insurances will cover a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion before surgery. Use it.
You only have one set of eyes. Don't base your selection on a low-bidder.
I had mine done up north, but if The Villages are your starting point, one of the 1st doctors I'd visit would be Dr Kimberly Ireland, St Lukes at The Villages.
Good luck on your journey.

Had recent surgery with Dr. Ireland at St. Luke's in Sumter Landing. She's fabulous!!!!

I second the vote for Dr. Holman. My eyes were very bad. I have a history of detached retinas in both eyes. I was told for years by my retina doc in WA state to wait until the very last minute before having cataract surgery because my retinas might detach again. Dr. Holman did the surgery with lasers and I no longer need glasses except for readers. I have worn glasses since 1st grade! He is very personable and very skilled.

Another vote for Lake Eye; Dr. Holman or Wehrly. Had surgery a year ago, very pleased!

I have so much confidence in Dr. Holman at Lake Eye.

two more votes...my wife and I....for Kimberely Ireland.
Eye surgery is all she does. Very detailed, very focused on the needs of the patient in front of her....excellent patient rapport.

I agree, glasses for the last 55 years, until I met Dr Scott Holman at LakeEye!!

Dr. Charles of Mid-Florida Eye has done thousands with an extremely professional staff. Two of mine were done a couple of years ago. No pain --- very professional --- played softball within the first week. Have never seen better.
