Services
Cataract Surgery
Mittleman Eye offers advanced cataract surgery using laser technology and premium intraocular lenses. Our IV-free surgical option reduces anxiety while maintaining precision. Patients benefit from same-day procedures with rapid recovery times. Our surgeons customize lens selection to address individual vision needs, including astigmatism correction and multifocal options. With over 50 years of experience, we ensure optimal visual outcomes for improved quality of life.
LASIK
Our LASIK procedures correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using advanced laser technology. The outpatient surgery reshapes corneal tissue for lasting vision improvement. We provide comprehensive pre-operative evaluations to determine candidacy. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within days of their procedure. Our team prioritizes patient education to ensure realistic expectations and optimal post-operative results through proper healing protocols.
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange replaces natural lenses with premium intraocular implants to correct severe refractive errors. This procedure benefits patients with thin corneas unsuitable for LASIK. We offer multifocal and toric lens options for comprehensive vision correction. The surgery prevents future cataract development while addressing presbyopia. Our surgeons customize treatment plans to meet individual visual demands and lifestyle requirements.
Glaucoma Treatment
We provide comprehensive glaucoma management using selective laser trabeculoplasty and medication therapies. Our diagnostic imaging detects early-stage optic nerve damage. Treatment plans focus on preserving vision through intraocular pressure control. We offer personalized follow-up care with regular visual field testing. Our approach combines medication management with lifestyle recommendations to slow disease progression and maintain ocular health.
Retinal Imaging
Our ultra-widefield retinal imaging technology enables early detection of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions. The non-invasive procedure captures detailed images of retinal structures for accurate diagnosis. We use this technology for both routine screenings and monitoring existing eye diseases. Early detection through imaging allows timely intervention to preserve vision and prevent complications from systemic conditions like diabetes.

To say this operating is in the business of caring would be a stretch. Its business, and once you are done being moved around from one room to another you feel as if you are at a car dealership. They botched my father's cataract surgery, covered up the fact that Dr. Fair did not properly suture/ close an 88 year olds wounds but to make it worse Dr. Mittlemen showed up to confirm the job was done perfect in Spanish no less.
Never met him in all our visits there and the presumption that we did not speak English only made it worse. My father paid 1800 out of pocket instead of $5 because of their hard sell on laser instead of traditional procedure. Called, Emailed, sent letters and had to follow up repeatedly only to be told Too Bad, So Sad. Surgeon did not even have the decency to call the day of the surgery to inform us what went on during the procedure. GET A SECOND OPINION!

I have been seeing Dr. Mittleman as a patient for may years. I would see him on a need basis. My experience was Not good. After Covid I knew I needed to be seen to check my pressure for Glaucoma. I scheduled for the needed procedure.with one of the Dr.'s. The 3 times that I went for my visits. It took quite a while to be seen by the Dr.--- something that I never experienced before in his office or any other office.
I needed drops for my eyes.they should have given me a prescription prior to my procedure.the day of my procedure.the pharmacy that I was to get my prescription couldn't over night the prescription. I called call the office to see how I could get my prescription.the emergency text number that was given to me. No One Reasoned! There were other things that took place. I felt like a number and Not a patient. Very Disappointed! Pat R

Finally after 22 calls and 3 visits Ray(Billing Mange)r returned my call at 4:53 yesterday 4/26/2022, I am appreciative he did take the time to call me back. During the conversation he informed me this was the first time he received a message to call me, this was a surprise as I have made 12 calls and 3 office visits indicating he would call me back. He took time to explain concerns I had with billing and did not understand why the information was not communicated to me.
I did inform him of my dissatisfaction of the office staff and the lack of customer/patient care from the Office Manger(that is what they call him) Charles. He recommended that I go online complete a review as his shifts ends at 5:00, he was already over his shift and had to leave. I did not have an opportunity to ask but why would you call me knowing there were concerns 7 minutes prior to your day ending. The 2nd star is because he did call, I was extremely doubtful that I wold receive a call. My last review was written 4/19/2022

This past week I was visiting family and friends and stopped into Mittleman Eye to check out some stylish frames. Courtney was so patient in helping me find the frames I wanted up until the final minute before closing. She and Kim both were so pleasant. If you are looking for new glasses these 2 lovelies will certainly guide you appropriately.

Great place to get eyes checked & great optical selection. We love the Jupiter office. Richard in optical is super helpful but the whole office is professional & courteous. They are helpful with explaining what insurance covers. Highly recommend their warranty program on glasses. It has come in handy. My son just picked up his second pair of prescription Ray Bans. Richard helped him with progressive lenses. Very pleased. Yay Mittleman. Thank you!
