Why patients switch to us

Not Your Average Eye Doctor Visit

Diabetic and senior eyes need more than a quick glance. Here’s what makes your first
visit different.

Specialists in diabetic &
senior eye care

Care built around the eye needs that come with age and diabetes — including ongoing monitoring for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Fast follow-up when it
counts

One patient woke up with flashes in her eye, called, and was seen the next day. When something feels off, you’re not stuck on hold for weeks.

They know your name

Patients tell us the same thing again and again: the whole staff is kind, respectful, and takes the time. Appointments run long — because they’re thorough.

Real patients. Real stories.

Hear From Our Patients

Real stories from the diabetic and senior patients we care for across Tampa Bay.

One time I woke up with flashes in my eye, and I called and I got in the next day, so that was good, and he did the laser.

Don’t take our word for it

Dr Powers is a remarkably intelligent and caring doctor. I can’t imagine trusting any other doctor with the care of my eye sight. He has been my Opthamologist for at least a decade. His staff reflects his work ethic which says so much about the standards of his professionalism and attention to detail. I have referred people to him and they always thank me.

Best experience I have had with opthalmologists over four decades. Dr. Powers and his staff are all professional, caring, and friendly and take the time to listen and answer questions and concerns in easy to understand plain language.

The staff is amazing and very kind and Full of smiles, I could not have asked for a better Ophthalmologist to go to in my time of need. I felt so comfortable and so at ease doing my laser procedure , it went well and amazing, I so calm, no pain a little pinches, but you can handle it. You’re stuck with me for the rest of my life, and I have narrow angle glaucoma. Thank you for making me feel welcome. God is good.
