Modern Vision Correction Surgery and Comprehensive Eye Care

Lake Nona Ophthalmology was the first ophthalmology practice in Lake Nona.  Dr. Patel had a clear and unique vision when he founded the practice in 2013 — to deliver outstanding outcomes by focusing on elite patient-centered care, cutting-edge technology, and compassion. Since that time, Drs. Patel and Ahmed have treated thousands and thousands of patients, from your next-door neighbor to other doctors and their families, and even celebrities!  The state-of-the-art facility offers a personalized and modern approach to surgical eye care, offering refractive laser cataract surgery, and modern vision correction surgery, including LASIK, EVO ICL, and Refractive Lens Exchange.  The practice offers an exceptional and bespoke experience that leads to the best results for our patients.
