Specialized, attentive eye care for diabetic and senior patients in the heart of Pinellas County. Dr. James Powers and our team are accepting new patients in Clearwater and the surrounding area.
Our Clearwater office provides everything from yearly diabetic eye exams to advanced management of sight-threatening disease — focused on the conditions that matter most for older adults.
Yearly dilated exams to catch diabetic retinopathy early — before it affects your sight. Essential for anyone living with diabetes.
Screening, monitoring, and treatment to protect your vision from “the silent thief of sight.” Especially important for seniors.
Early detection and ongoing management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to preserve your central vision.
Comprehensive vision and eye-health checkups, updated glasses and contact prescriptions, and personalized care.
Relief for dry, irritated eyes and the common vision changes that come with age — explained in plain language.
Diabetes is one of the top causes of adult vision loss — yet most diabetic eye disease is preventable when caught early. An annual dilated exam at our Clearwater office helps protect your sight before problems start. We keep every visit calm, thorough, and unrushed.
We built our practice around the patients we serve best — diabetic and senior patients who want a doctor who listens.

Diabetic and senior eye care isn't a side service for us — it's what we do every day.

We never rush your exam. A complete workup with full diagnostic testing takes time, so plan for a longer visit — and you'll leave with real answers, not a rushed once-over.

We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans. We'll verify your coverage for you.

Conveniently located in New Port Richey, serving Port Richey, Trinity, Holiday & Hudson.

Real people who help with scheduling, paperwork, and getting you seen quickly.

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.Posted on Google![]()

Personally I don't like going to the eye doctor. I just hate messing with my eyes but I have to say honestly that I haven't felt comfortable with any other eye doctor or company. The staff at the Clearwater office is the best. I've seen just a few of the staff come and go and whoever is doing the hiring has a real eye for great employees because all I've ever experienced is courtesy, patience and great care there. I can't say enough good things about Dr Powers.. He's very mannerable, patient and personable. The one thing that impressed me the most the first time we met is that he came in with a big genuine smile and he shook my hand. Many doctors won't even touch you if it's not necessary. I hope I never have to switch.Posted on Google![]()

Very competent staff and Dr Powers is the best.
“Dr. Powers is absolutely wonderful. He cares about his staff and patients and it shows. I drive from Lakeland to the Clearwater office and don’t mind the wait, because Dr. Powers explains exactly what he sees and what he recommends, and makes sure you understand the game plan to keep your eyes as healthy as possible. You WON’T be disappointed.”
