I would check with your insurance carrier. They should provide you with optometrists in your plan.

Dr. Orr
 
I have been going to Dr. Dionne Orr in the Walmart on 466 for over ten years, and highly recommend her.

Thanks but don't care about being in plan, do care about who is good.

Hindsight
 
Dr. James Russell at Hindsight in Pinellas Plaza. He is attentive, discusses options, and does not talk down to me or try to upsell me. For Medicare or most eye care plans, no out-of-pocket. You can take the prescription to any eyeglass store. I highly recommend him.

We have been going to Lange eye for many years, and they are associated with St. Lukes, which worked out very well with my cataract surgery and follow up visits. Very pleased with the care at both locations.

My wife and friends have been going to Lake Eye Associates - The Villages, on 44, just east of Brownwood. Very pleased with them.

Dr John Chairamonte at Eyesite in Traverse Plaza near Brownwood. Excellent and caring. Never is in a hurry to get you out of there.

I go to Dr. Michael Morris Ocala Eye across from Laurel manor. He is excellent.

I went to Dr. Jodie Armstrong at Ocala eye. The problem I had was the technicians who work the machines that check your eyes before you see the doctor. I have optic migraines and my eye muscles adjust very slowly. I told the technician not to shine the lights in my eye's first because it causes me to have migraines. Typically that is the last thing I tell them to do but they still did the tests in the order they preferred. Also they went really fast with the what looks better one or 2. The prescription they gave me was bad and I had to go to Lang because the glasses I got from Ocala eye were no good. When I tried to talk to Dr. Jodie Armstrong she was unsympathetic and the prescription was just no good. I didn't find that she or the technician at Ocala eye listened to my concerns throughout my eye exam. Wouldn't go back. The day I was there they were rushing through.

If you have a serious eye condition I would recommend Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. They are rated top in the United States and do cornea transplants and other eye surgeries.
