07/22/2026 I did the unthinkable!!! I have been wearing Contact Lenses since the age of 16…read more However, for the first time in my life while I was watching TV I accidentally fell asleep with my Contact Lenses. When I woke up "Both of My eyes were hurting so much!!!! AND "For the record" I did try numerous times taking out the Contacts with Contact Lenses Solution with my thumbs but it didn't work . "Both of my eyes were hurting so much and the pain in both of my eyes was unbearable". I knew that there was no way that I could drive on I75 from LAKEWOOD RANCH. My husband was at work. Therefore, I had to wait until he got off work so he could take me directly to GULF COSTAL EYE CENTER. But the point of this review I was in so much pain and it was unbearable. Dr Steven Bovio took the time 30 minutes before closing his office to attend me. He cleared me that I didn't have the contact lenses still in my eyes and he prescribed eye drop medication to take. And I'm not allowed to drive for five days. The point of this review is to clearly "STATE" that if you just moved to this area. Or if you don't like your optometrist and you're looking to change to a new optometrist look no further!!!! Go to see "DR. STEVEN BOVIO" !!!!

Bummer because it is a nice facility and I did like Dr. Brad. I just won't tolerate those sales tactics.
