Default Opthamologist recommendations?

Hello

I am new to the villages and need to see an ophthalmologist.
Can you please recommend a good one in the Villages.
Thanks so much

I have macular degeneration and I see Dr. Tolentino at Lange Eye. He only comes here from Clearwater once a week:

Ophthalmologist Surgeon Lake Worth, FL Michael Tolentino, M.D.

I have been going to Dr. Armstrong at Ocala Eye in The Villages for many years. Very thorough and is very approachable.

I use Dr. Gooch over at Lake Sumter and have been well satisfied.

We have used Lange eye for around 8 years and are happy with the service. Just completed cataract surgery, Lange eye recommended St. Lukes and DR. Ireland, and I had great results. Very please with both companies.

There is a large building called Ocala Eye in the site next to Laurel Manor Regional Rec Center on 466 and Buena Vista.

Many different kinds of specialist eye doctors are there. Dr. Jodie Armstrong is the person that removed the cataracts from my eyes, but not for several years of seeing her. I cannot recommend her enough. Very well educated and very warm and caring too.

"oph·thal·mol·o·gist" the first "h" is silent. Good luck!

I loved my doctor up north and hated the thought of finding someone new. Several people on TOTV recommended Scot Holman at Lake Eye Associates and I really like him.
