I recently had cataract surgery and could not have asked for a better experience with my post-operative care. The entire team truly held my hand and guided me through every step of the recovery process. All of the doctors and staff were absolutely amazing.
I ask a lot of questions, and my doctor was incredibly patient, thorough, and took the time to address every concern I had. I had worn hard contact lenses for more than 40 years, so this was a major change for me, and they made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire transition.
Whenever I had additional questions after my appointments, someone always got back to me quickly, which gave me tremendous peace of mind.
The optical selection is outstanding, and Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me find the perfect glasses, and I ended up purchasing four pairs!
I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for exceptional care, attentive staff, beautiful eyewear, and a truly outstanding patient experience

My daughter had been trying to learn to put her contacts in for years before heading back to school. No matter what we tried, it just wasn’t happening. We came in on a Saturday — and Dr. Ormando taught her in 15 minutes flat. He has a magic touch when it comes to teaching contacts. She walked out with her contacts in, her confidence up, and we walked out with a new doctor for life.

My son almost never made a roster.
For years, he couldn’t catch a ball. He couldn’t track it through the air — no matter how hard he tried or how many coaches worked with him. It was frustrating for him, and heartbreaking as parents watching a child work so hard and still struggle. More than anything, it slowly affected his confidence.
Then we brought him to see Dr. Ormando.
Within minutes, Dr. Ormando identified something no one else had ever caught — a rare eye-tracking issue that had gone unnoticed for years. Suddenly, everything started to make sense.
With the right care, the right lenses, and a team that genuinely refused to give up until they got it right, everything changed. The boy who once struggled to track a ball became a starting athlete. But even more importantly, he became confident again.
To say it changed his life is an understatement.
What impressed us most wasn’t just the diagnosis — it was the level of care, patience, and dedication. They looked beyond a routine eye exam and truly understood how vision impacts confidence, learning, sports, and everyday life.
That kind of care is rare.
If you are a parent whose child is struggling — in sports, school, reading, headaches, focus, or confidence — don’t assume they’ll “grow out of it.” Sometimes the issue is something no one has thought to look for yet.
We are forever grateful. His glasses are very cool, and he now also wears contacts!
