Comprehensive Eye Exams
At Eye Physicians of Central Florida, we believe that comprehensive eye exams are the cornerstone of maintaining good eye health. Our thorough examinations allow us to detect and address a wide range of eye conditions, ensuring early diagnosis and timely treatment.
- Visual Acuity Testing:
We assess your ability to see objects at various distances, identifying any refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Eye Muscle Evaluation:
We examine the alignment and movement of your eyes to detect strabismus (misalignment) and other eye muscle imbalances.
- Pupil Dilation:
We dilate your pupils to examine the internal structures of your eyes, including the retina, optic nerve, and macula, for signs of damage or disease.
- Glaucoma Screening:
We measure your intraocular pressure and examine your optic nerve for signs of glaucoma, a leading cause of vision loss.
Our comprehensive eye exams also include testing for color vision, depth perception, and peripheral vision. We tailor our examinations to meet your individual needs and concerns, ensuring that we address all aspects of your eye health.
Cataract & Glaucoma Treatment
At Eye Physicians of Central Florida, our team of experienced ophthalmologists specializes in the treatment of cataracts and glaucoma, two common eye conditions that can significantly impact vision.
Cataract Treatment:
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. We offer advanced cataract surgery techniques, including phacoemulsification and laser-assisted cataract surgery. These minimally invasive procedures involve removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, restoring clear vision.
Glaucoma Treatment:
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss. We provide comprehensive glaucoma management, including medication, laser therapy, and surgical intervention. Our goal is to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve, preserving vision and preventing blindness.
Our cataract and glaucoma treatments are performed using state-of-the-art technology and adhere to the highest standards of surgical care. Our experienced surgeons are dedicated to providing exceptional outcomes and personalized care, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible treatment for their eye conditions.
At Eye Physicians of Central Florida, we are committed to helping our patients achieve optimal vision and long-term eye health through our comprehensive cataract and glaucoma treatment services.

- Early Detection and Diagnosis:
We conduct comprehensive eye exams to detect early signs of macular degeneration, including drusen deposits and pigmentary changes. Early detection allows for timely intervention and treatment to slow the progression of the disease.
- Advanced Imaging Techniques:
We utilize advanced imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography, to obtain detailed images of the macula and monitor its health over time.
- Personalized Treatment Plans:
Our ophthalmologists develop individualized treatment plans based on the type and stage of macular degeneration. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplements, intravitreal injections, and laser therapy.
- Patient Education and Support:
We provide comprehensive education to our patients about macular degeneration, its progression, and available treatment options. Our team is committed to supporting patients and their families throughout their journey with this condition.

- Early Detection and Screening:
We recommend regular eye exams for patients with diabetes to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, even if they have no symptoms. Early detection allows for timely intervention and treatment to prevent vision loss.
- Advanced Diagnostic Imaging:
We utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography, to visualize the retina and identify diabetic retinopathy changes, including microaneurysms, hemorrhages, and exudates.
- Personalized Treatment Plans:
Our ophthalmologists develop individualized treatment plans based on the stage and severity of diabetic retinopathy. Treatment options may include laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and surgery. We work closely with our patients to monitor their condition and adjust their treatment plan as needed.

LASIK & Refractive Surgery
At Eye Physicians of Central Florida, we offer a range of LASIK and refractive surgery procedures to correct common vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our experienced surgeons utilize advanced technology and techniques to deliver precise and effective vision correction.
- LASIK:
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a widely performed laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to correct vision problems. LASIK is a quick and painless procedure that typically results in immediate improvement in vision.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):
PRK is another type of laser eye surgery that is similar to LASIK. However, with PRK, the surgeon removes the epithelium (the outermost layer of the cornea) before applying the laser. PRK has a longer healing time compared to LASIK, but it may be a better option for patients with thin corneas or certain other eye conditions.
- ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens):
ICL is a surgically implanted lens that corrects vision problems. The ICL is placed inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. ICL is a good option for patients with high levels of nearsightedness or farsightedness who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or PRK.
- RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange):
RLE is a surgical procedure that replaces the natural lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). RLE is commonly performed in patients with cataracts or presbyopia (age-related farsightedness). By implanting an IOL, RLE can correct vision problems and improve overall vision quality.
At Eye Physicians of Central Florida, our skilled surgeons will evaluate your eyes and recommend the most suitable refractive surgery procedure to achieve your desired vision correction goals.
