We are Experienced. Dedicated. Caring.
Our team of doctors, nurses, technicians, surgical counselors, and a variety of staff members enjoy providing our patients old-fashioned, personal attention using the technology of today. While we have grown over the past 30 years, our mission remains the same: to provide excellent eye care and vision correction to patients across Florida.
When it comes to something as precious as your vision, you deserve the quality care that is found at the Filutowski Eye Institute.
