Who is a good, fair opto...optho....opthi....EYE DOCTOR?

I need new glasses and my daughter needs to get her eyes checked too.
I hate going to the docs who insist on using all their new fangled machines and cameras and 85,000 frames so they can bill the insurance $1000. Just need someone to say, yep you are getting older and you need a stronger rx, here it is go get some new lenses put in those frames you got.

(I would rather save the cash for new sunglasses!!!)

I just used a Dr. Hemmig in Bluewater Bay and was very pleased withhim and his staff! 897-2020 is their phone number. Hope that helps!

I go to Dr. Sparks in the Destin Wal-mart, but there is supposedly a good new eye doc near Sacred Heart.

Highly recommend Dr. Priscilla Fowler; her office is in the Bank Trust Bldg by Sacred Heart Hospital, 6220757. She is terrific!

I go to Houston Sparks also. I believe a regular contact appointment runs $100. He is very good.

I go to Dr. Sparks also but my toddler has seen Dr. Fowler and my mother has worked with her in surgery on several instances. She is highly recommended.

Any recs for an eye doc that's got a good background working with severe myopia and rigid gas permeable lenses? Apparently my vision issues are some sort of niche market deal.

Amen! :clap: The Eye Center is probably a bit far now that we have eye docs in SoWal, but Dr. Jim Corry has been my eye doctor since I was 12 (prior to the young Dr Corry, it was Dr. Grant Newberry himself) and I have no intention of stopping now. I have "difficult" eyes, and he has always been nothing short of awesome. I may consider switching when he retires - the mere thought brings tears to my sensitive eyes - but my son sees Dr. Anthony Aker and we are well pleased there too.

When I have cataract surgery, probably next spring, it will be by Dr. Bret Fisher. That is a certainty.

Dr. Fowler is the best by far.
