Lake Nona Ophthalmology
Chirag J. Patel, MD, FACS, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained, comprehensive ophthalmologist who believes in establishing a trusting and long-lasting rapport with each and every patient to promote lifelong eye health.
Dr. Patel founded Lake Nona Ophthalmology in 2013 as a unique, patient-first practice founded on the core principles of compassion, community, and cutting-edge care. He has since established Lake Nona Ophthalmology as an elite practice offering a customized approach to vision correction surgery (LASIK, PRK, EVO ICL), refractive cataract surgery, as well as advanced functional and cosmetic eyelid surgery, and non-invasive facial cosmetic procedures.
With small town roots, Dr. Patel genuinely enjoys connecting with each of his patients in order to provide the best care possible. He has a true passion to help his patients look and see their best! His three favorite procedures to perform include LASIK, Refractive Cataract Surgery, and a Cosmetic Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty. These procedures all have one thing in common – they are all life-changing! “I find it so gratifying to help patients ditch their glasses and contacts and truly feel free and independent; it’s a process that really involves getting to know patients to find the best procedure to fit their lifestyle, and helping them reach their goal all the while being by their side the whole way!,” said Dr. Patel.
In 2022, Dr. Patel opened a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility. The new 5,000-square-foot space blends the practice’s medical and aesthetic specialties. Not only will patients have an elite surgical eye care facility providing cutting-edge treatments for vision correction surgery, cataract surgery, and a range of other eye conditions, but now patients will also have access to an intimate, boutique-style medical spa that provides the latest technology and techniques in facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Patel attended the University of Florida for both his undergraduate and medical school studies. He then completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Richmond University Medical, and a three-year residency in Ophthalmology at the prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. During his residency, Dr. Patel had the privilege of learning under renowned leaders in the field of refractive surgery and ophthalmic plastic surgery. He then completed a Fellowship in Medical Retina and Research at the University of Florida – Jacksonville. Finally, Dr. Patel continued practicing and teaching residents at the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology. Dr. Patel is currently on staff at Advent Health, Orlando Health, and UCF Lake Nona Hospital. He is also involved in medical education as voluntary faculty at UCF, College of Medicine.
Outside of the office, Dr. Patel enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, hiking, playing sports, and rooting for his Gators!
