Jeni Huguenot Mirabella, my daughter had the same diagnosis but Dr. Sherman fixed it with vision therapy, which insurance covered (with a fight that his office helped).. other eye docs told me the same thing you were told but this impacts ability to re...See More

Eye Physicians is where Tyler had his 1 st exam, but with him only being 2 we went & had a 2 nd opinion at Orlando Eye assoc & just ended up going there due to them being open on Saturdays. I found not alot of places take them under 6
Stacey C. replied:
..Marc Sherman in Longwood. The best! He diagnosed Mallory with exotropia when she was 5 (after other very well respected eye docs missed it). He knows more about eye development than the average pediatric eye doc. And in young children, acuity is rarely the issue but that is what everyone tests for. Focus, alignment, muscle movement are all way more important to make sure the eyes work together.
Monique S. replied:
Jeni you went for a second opinion to the other place but would you have stayed with Eye Physicians if their hours worked for you or was there a reason you didn't go back other than that? Stacey, that's really, really good to hear. I have some calls to make tomorrow! Thanks so much ladies:)

I just go to Florida Eye Clinic. They have a few different locations, are covered by Aspire's health plan, and I've seen a few doctors there that are all pretty good
Any recommendations for a good optometrist in our hood?

Dr. Mark Perry@Vision Health Institute on Bumby
Cindy L. replied:
I love Dr Beedle at Eola Eyes too! She's excellent!
David B. replied:
If you really want to keep on top of eye health, you really need to periodically at least go to a real opthamologist and I recommend Magruder Institute on N. Mills (17-92). They will check EVERY health marker intensively to see if you may be needing cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, are having any more potentially dangerous problems that an optometrist ( worse some technician ) just isn't going to be looking at.
Kristen P. replied:
Eola Eyes for me as well! Besides excellent eye care they are right in the neighborhood and have the coolest frames!
Looking for good child optometrist. ..any ideas,of course have Cigna so would appreciate any comments
Cecilia L. replied:
Dr. Blumenfelt in Maitland (Eye physicians of Central Florida) is great with a calm personality, but I'm not sure if they take Cigna insurance.
Allie S. replied:
Heidi is it Dr.Marc Sherman?
Crys B. replied:
Rowan sees Dr. Gold, same office as Blumenfeld.
Teresa O. replied:
Dr.Sherman and Dr Zorn in Longwood! ! They treat many children with vision problems and do a lot more tests on them than a regular optometrist don't do.
