I was a patient at Ocala Eye for 10 years. I started with Dr. Vish and was switched to an optometrist because Dr. Vish does not do contact lenses. Had cataract surgery with the cornea specialist. I have a condition requiring my eyes be checked every 6 months to a year, and when I wanted to go back to Dr. Vish I was told he only does surgeries and I had to use an optometrist, even though I no longer wear contacts. Rheumatologist prefers ophthalmologist. So beware, Ocala Eye seems to be cheapening their services by using optometrists more.

Agree, they are in it for the money I believe. Too busy, see as many people you can, use optometrists to get more in.

Had a bad result from cataract surgery there with an ophthalmologist who is no longer there. Cornea surgeon could only correct it so much. Displeased. Then told only optometrist would see me for my checkups from there on out. Displeased. Like cattle being moved in the office.

The OPTHALMOLOGISTS at Ocala Eye are highly rated. Dr. Morris is listed on Castle Connolly ... a site that lists the nations top doctors by their peers. I have had various eye surgeries with both Dr. Morris and Dr. Elmallah with good results. It is a very busy practice because so many people go there.

Default Ophthalmologist Recommendation

Dr. Jeffrey A. Sheridan at Fishman and Sheridan Eye Care Specialists in Leesburg.
Both Dr. Fishman and Dr. Sheridan are Ophthalmologists and I do my yearly exams there. Dr. Sheridan did my cataract surgery and I like him very much as a person and as a Doctor.

I love Dr. Panzo, at Mid Florida Eye. They have several offices, depending on where you live.

I was on the commercial side of the ophthalmology business for 27 years. Dr Ireland at St Luke’s ( in Sumter Landing) performed cataract surgery on me this past December. My results are outstanding. She is very compassionate and answers all of your questions. Takes time to explain the procedure, though I’ve seen over 150,000 cataract surgeries in my past work life. Did not push any of the more expensive alternative lenses. Highly recommend her and the staff at St Luke’s.

My mom had cataract surgery up here in NYC (love our ophthalmologist!) - did you have surgery with a fempto-pulse laser?
