The Retina is Our Specialty
Here at Gulf Coast Eye Institute, we provide advanced treatment options for retinal diseases in the eye.

We have continued and built upon his work by gathering valuable information on the retina through our clinical research department.

What you should know
Cataracts
Helping you focus on the good stuff
Cataracts is the most common eye condition that occurs in people over the age of fifty and currently affects over 22 million Americans. This condition occurs when the internal lens of a person’s eye becomes clouded. This clouding is caused by the proteins that make up the lens clumping together and preventing clear vision.

LASIK Eye Surgery
Picture Perfect Vision
We use the latest laser technology in our LASIK vision correction procedure to ensure that your vision is better than it has ever been. If you are nearsighted, farsighted, or suffer from astigmatism, you may qualify for the LASIK eye procedure. This laser procedure allows us to reshape your corneal surface giving your eyes a better lens to focus through.
