Services
Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery removes cloudy lenses and replaces them with artificial implants to restore clear vision. Our surgeons perform over 10,000 procedures annually using advanced techniques like laser-assisted and no-stitch methods. Patients benefit from customized lens options, including light-adjustable implants for post-surgery vision optimization.
LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our Fort Myers team uses cool-laser technology for precise, minimally invasive procedures. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision within 24 hours, with options for premium lenses and financing through CareCredit.
Routine Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and systemic conditions affecting vision. Our optometrists use digital imaging and pressure testing to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy during annual checkups.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer medical and surgical treatments for glaucoma, including medicated drops, laser trabeculoplasty, and drainage implants. Our specialists monitor optic nerve damage progression and tailor therapies to prevent vision loss in high-risk patients.
Retinal Care
Our retina specialists diagnose and treat conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachments. Services include anti-VEGF injections, vitrectomy surgery, and emergency care for sudden vision changes or retinal tears.

This place is run absolutely horrible. I had accompanied my grandma for her 8am appointment. We checked in and sat down. We waited an hour before I went up to the desk to verify that my grandma had checked in properly. The girls up front had a difficult time finding her account with all the information provided, a couple of minutes later, then FINALLY found the account. They then told me that they were short staffed and that there was a sign that said they were short staffed so wait times would be longer. I told the girl that I understand they are short staffed and I wasn't complaining, I

I went to Eye Centers of Florida to have implantable contact lenses (IPL) several years ago and haven't had any issues since. I was very extremely nearsighted, and I couldn't get Lasik or PRK because my corneas were too thin, and I have an astigmatism. I did my research and found that these fine folks would do IPL. IPL is basically the same procedure they do for cataracts, but they use prescription lenses to correct near or farsightedness. It was the best thing I'd ever done. It cost me $5000 at the time and it was the best money spent. No more glasses or contacts. Once the drugs

I went to Eye Centers with VA referral. I was told I needed catarac surgery and could get regular lenses paid for thru my insurance and VA or I could get lenses that worked at distance and close up. When dr brown did surgery in both eyes the more expensive lens was only put a n one eye and the generic lens in the other with the explanation that the lens pocket was too small . This was done without my authorization. My sight was foggy and there were palpaitations and glare. I was told this would clear up. After many legnthy and cancelled appointments always resulting in long office waits I was scheduled

I provided my written prescription that staff scanned when I first visited Eye Center of FL on Evans in Ft Myers. It took 3 weeks to get the glasses, the longest I have waited in 50 years of glasses wearing. When I picked the glasses up the staff just handed them to me and said ok, you are all set. Typically glasses need a little adjusting, so I took them from the case and as soon as I put them in I knew there was a problem because I was seeing double. Staff kept insisting that I just needed to get used to them. I then called the eye dr who provided the prescription who ran me through some tests

I have the highest praise for ECOf in Ft. Myers. Dr. Mauer did my cataract surgery on both eyes and I am beyond thrilled with the results! He explained the procedure clearly to me and made me feel comfortable. All the staff members were professional and helpful. I will recommend ECOF to my family and friends.

Save your time and go somewhere else. We are new to the area and my kids needed eye exams. The insurance suggested this place. We made appointments. Showed up 15 min early to fill out paperwork and waited an HOUR beyond our appointment time before they actually got us in. This place is dirty. The equipment is old. They are understaffed. THEN they refused to do my son's contact fitting because they were understaffed and didn't have time. Hello, that's what we made the appointment for!!! We will be finding a different place to get our exams and eyewear.
