Two to three…read moreweeks after getting an eye exam for new prescription glasses I noticed that my left eye ached a little bit and I started seeing flashes of light that looked like miniature thunderbolts and some black floaters. I didn't call Dr. Ward the first day because we had a storm that made tornados that were in our area - in fact we were under a tornado warning most of the day. Thankfully our area was unaffected but several miles up the road severe damage was done. I called the first thing Friday morning and explained my symptoms to the receptionist who stated "You need to get in here ASAP,it doesn't sound good and we will be closing soon." I live only ten minutes away so I was there as fast as could be. They took me back to an examination room right away, I explained to the assistant my symptoms which she relayed promptly to Dr. Ward who said to dilate my left eye right away. I was extremely nervous and apprehensive about the condition of my eye and how whatever it was would affect my sight in the future. I have to say how wonderful she was! She put my mind at ease by explaining the procedures and understanding my fears. She rubbed my arm and said all will be well. Then she turned out the lights and told me to relax and let the eye drops do their job. After about ten minutes she came back in and checked the size of my pupil and said it looked good and dilated enough for doctor to come in. Dr. Ward came right away and talked to me to help my anxiety about my vision even more. He was warm, kind and caring. He took his scope with an extremely bright light and looked inside my eye all the way back to the retina. He told me to look one way with my eyes and then the other way, up and down. He told me I had an eye condition called Detached Vitreous. He explained that there is a clear jelly like substance that is before the retina and that it had detached from the back of my eye. He said I didn't need laser surgery at that time because in a lot of instances it will reattach itself if I followed his directions. He gave me a print out of all the precautions I had to follow. No bending over, no lifting anything heavier than 10 pounds. No activity to cause the pressure in my eyes to go up, no banging or shaking of my head and I had a special eye chart that I had to look at using my left eye only. It had a black dot in the middle of a grid and if the lines became wavy or disappeared I had to call him right away. He also told me if my vision changed during the weekend I had to go to the emergency room right away. Very easy to understand direction after my visit to do. He also stated I had to return in two weeks for him to check my eye again to see how it was healing. His staff got me in and checked out with temporary sunglasses in less than an hour. I left his office with a appointment for two weeks feeling infinitely better with his diagnosis and care. Two weeks later I returned for a check up. Dr. Ward said my eye was healing but not completely so I had to continue for two more weeks of restrictive activities. Since there is a lot of road construction going on in our town he even told me to stay away from those roads since they were pretty torn up. I not only recommend Dr. Ward and his wonderful staff for eye glasses but most importantly for any eye problems/ diseases you may be experiencing. I only have wonderful things to say about his care. My vision is doing great - I am able to read and write again (especially my Yelp reviews) and resume all my activities. Following his directions for that month I truly believe helped save my eyesight so I didn't end up with a detached retina which requires laser surgery. Ward's Eye Center is fantastic for all your vision needs!

He couldn't stop talking about himself and all his accomplishments. I've been a patient of his for quite some time and he didn't remember me. Couldn't even look at my chart then and greet me by my name. His office screwed up my husbands' prescription 3 times. Left the astigmatism off and his glasses were made incorrectly. My husband called him and called him out on his remarks to me. He apologized saying he may have been over the line. He said everyone makes mistakes and that he had already made 3 that day. Do you want a Dr. that makes 3 or more mistakes a day? I will not be returning to this weirdo anymore.

This was my strangest visit to an optometrist in many years. I am a retired physician, recently…read moremoved to the area. I have been wearing corrective lenses for 65 years and have been under the care of an ophthalmologist for over a year for glaucoma and last saw him 2 months prior to this visit. I definitely have a need for change in my current lenses. The clinic is very large with more examining rooms than I have seen before in an eye clinic. I gave the receptionist my vision insurance card and ID however she also wanted my medical insurance card, which i didn't have in my wallet at the time. I told the receptionist that I was under the care of an MD and was not interested in any medical care for my eyes, only needed corrective lens service. I filled in an history on an I-pad that I was given. The information I gave on the i-pad was the only information about me that I gave for the rest of the visit. I don't remember any questions about my occupation or retirement status. I thought it strange in restrospect that none of the people that I saw that day asked one question about my personal life, i.e. what I had done in my life or in any way tried to establish any type of personal connection. Even though I used a lot of medical terminology in my discussions of my eye issues, no one seemed to be curious as to why I would know what they were doing in their examination. I left the clinic after seeing a cadre of people without one person knowing that I have been in the medical field for almost 50 years and continue to teach in the field. I was seen first by one technician then several more technicians. The first technician wanted to take pictures of my retina for an extra $65. I told the technician that my ophthalmologist had pictures that were quite recent. Not sure why it costs $65 to take a picture. I didn't really know why I needed so many technicians before seeing the doctor and I didn't know what the position of each technician was. It was over an hour of seeing technicians before I saw the doctor. The doctor who did see me was not the one that I had been scheduled for or was told I would be seeing. There was no explanation of why a substitute doctor was given me, though the doctor was very nice, had a warm personality and wanted to be helpful. Nevertheless, the clinic said that I had cataracts that were so severe that I needed immediate cataract surgery. They demanded my medical insurance card as they said they could not give me a referral to a cataract surgeon without it and no ophthalmologist would see me without a referral. I called my wife, got the insurance information and gave it to them. They returned to me saying they had never heard of the insurance company and they did not accept that insurance. I thought it strange that a major commercial medical insurer of current and retired government employees was totally unknown by such a large clinic. That was definitely a first for me. I told them I wasn't interested in an actual referral but asked them who they would see in the neighborhood for their own personal ophthamologist. Nevertheless, it seemed that the clinic wanted to also bill my medical insurance, not just my vision insurance, and I left wondering what medical conditions they wanted to treat. At the conclusion I was told that the clinic could not improve my current vision because my cataracts were so bad and i would have to just wear my current lenses until after I had surgery. The physician said I had +3 cataracts in one eye and +4 in the other. I tried to ask a question about the scaling of cataracts, but it just blew past the physician. I thought it strange that the ophthalmologist who I had seen 2 months earlier had noted that there were very early cataracts forming but he expressed no concern that anything in the near future needed to be done and I certainly have not noted any clouding of my vision. The information that the optometrist was giving me seemed throw questions about the competency of my ophthalmologist. I thought it strange that no one in the clinic asked who my ophthalmologist was or whether he had said anything about cataracts. So I left the clinic, no lenses being prescribed, but having spent my one vision exam that my insurance would cover for this year. I am left wondering what I should do next. While cataract surgery is very common and usually met with success, I am still leery of having anyone touch my eyes with a scalpel because I know that there are no perfect surgeons. If any surgeon tells you they have 100% success, it is a lie. I will probably be calling my ophthalmologist in the community I just moved from and asking his opinion about what the optometrist told me. I may then consult another ophthalmologist in this new community as well as another optometrist (which I will pay for out of my own pocket.) I don't know what to believe right now. In summary, I left the Ocala Eye Clinic feeling that it was too big for my needs.
