Services
Cataract Surgery
Our cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with premium intraocular implants. Using advanced laser technology, we offer monofocal, toric, and multifocal lens options to correct vision at multiple distances. Patients experience improved clarity and reduced dependency on glasses following this outpatient procedure.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and manage chronic dry eye using TearLab Osmolarity testing and customized treatment plans. Options include medicated drops, lid hygiene protocols, and punctal plugs to improve tear quality and reduce inflammation. Our approach focuses on long-term symptom relief and ocular surface health.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through advanced imaging and pressure testing. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to selective laser trabeculoplasty, aiming to preserve optic nerve function and prevent vision loss through personalized management plans.
Eyelid Surgery
This procedure corrects droopy eyelids and under-eye bags to improve both vision and appearance. Using precise surgical techniques, we remove excess skin and fat deposits while maintaining natural eyelid function, often providing relief from vision obstruction caused by severe ptosis.
Eye Exams
We conduct comprehensive eye exams using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to assess vision health and detect ocular diseases. These evaluations include retinal imaging, visual acuity testing, and intraocular pressure measurements to ensure early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Very friendly office staff. They were very helpful with retrieving some records for me that were needed for my visit that didn't seem to want to show up from my Doctors office. Dr Ergas answered all my questions and was very efficient. Great prices on frames and lenses.

Very professional and friendly. I had a problem with my right eye which really concerned me and they got me in the next day. After a very thorough examination they put me at ease that what I had experienced was not uncommon and would clear up. Thank you for all your staff treating me so nicely.

Seeing employees who work for this company are patting themselves on the back with 5 star reviews instead earning it through good customer service. Reported for conflict of interest.

Apr 09, 2022 Report
My vision was going and I didn't have insurance or the money to do anything. I needed someone to help me find the resources to get the help I needed. The first Opthamologist office I called obviously only cared about getting paid they were no help. But when I called here they took the time to talk to me and got me started on finding some help. Thanks to them I found out I had access to VA resources.

Because of that I was able to get the surgery I needed. Now instead of being blind in my right eye I have 20/20 in that eye. My left eye is next. Everyone here has been great and you can tell they actually care. I can not recommend them highly enough. So I wanted to add to this review. I now have both eyes done and it's been a long time since my vision has been this good. All my experiences have continued to be good and I continue to recommend these folks to anyone needing these services.

Best in Jacksonville. Just thought in response to another review here I'd make it clear that I am not an employee or related to any employees. I had another appointment today and the staff as always was very helpful and my experience was top notch.
