Compassionate, specialized eye care for diabetic and senior patients in downtown St. Petersburg. Dr. James Powers and our team are welcoming new patients across Pinellas County.
At our St. Petersburg office, we handle everything from annual diabetic eye exams to advanced treatment of serious eye disease — with a focus on protecting vision as you age.
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.
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.
