Great yearly visit yesterday. Office must have worked very hard to fix their scheduling issues from the past as there were visits that took close to 3 hours to finally leave the office. Yesterday, I was done in an hour with a very comprehensive exam. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. I just love Dr Shumake ❤️ I have been seeing him for years and I hope he doesn't have any plans to retire soon!

I was immediately checked in on arrival, and was called to the back for my 2 weeks post surgery appointment. I had Cataracts removed. I was so happy that I got my left eye done, excellent 20/20 results. Thank you Dr Shumake. I’m recommending my husband soon. All the Staff at Florida Eye Institute are so friendly and offer an homely environment… Shout out to Heather, your smile is contagious.

I had my appointment today to get my contact lenses. I had already told Dr Straut in a previous appointment I didn't need a fitting because I am doing great with mine, I just needed to renew the prescription because I am out of contact lenses. They said that the fitting is required so when you are trapped in the system you just have to say ok, so I said ok. They asked me for my insurance and then they told me it was $220 which seemed outragious to me because in the past I had paid $60 and I said I wasn't staying. I came home and called my insurance and it is actually $60 so I am tremendouslly dissapointed from this doctors office. It is a rip-off.

Dr. Straut is a wonderful doctor. He patiently answers all my questions and even though the waiting room is full, he never seems rushed with me.

Took excellent care of me.

Dr. Backas is one of the best optometrists you will ever have the pleasure of getting an eye exam from. He is incredibly thorough PLUS he is one of the most kind, good natured and generous people you will come in contact with. Don't be discouraged that is a walmart - make your appt today! The other staff in the optical department are really fantastic as well.

The eye doctor here is the best one I ever met, I saw him few year ago and still I remembered he was so patient and kind, I had a lot of questions about my vision and he answered all my questions and explained everything in details so I can … More

Doctor is smart, kind, and good price for exam. Staff running vision center can be a little difficult at times getting scripts sent over to other vision centers and stuff and slow most of the time, but go there for Dr. John Backes. Husband … More

From the first day reaching out to the Eye Institute for Surgery and Medicine, the staff was amazing. Appointment setting was a breeze. The staff made sure it was me at every handoff. Testing and evaluation was thorough and precise. Then, there’s Dr.Jim McManus. He is a happy man and it shows with his staff. The whole environment feels like family. He greets you with a smile and a handshake, every time and takes the time to explain procedures, and processes to your satisfaction. The surgery staff were attentive to make certain the correct eye was being worked on and that I was comfortable, warm and ready to proceed. I was able to ask questions of the doctor while undergoing surgery. Each professional responsible for my care went above and beyond to make certain of a positive outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. James McManus for your eye care and surgery. I haven’t seen this hood , even with glasses for 50+ years!! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience and great vision going forward!!

Dr. McManus suddenly without warning to his patients left the eye institute. Nobody is talking about why nor when asked, "stated we are shocked and not at liberty to say". When the receptionist called to ask if I wanted my records, I said schedule with another doctor.

I had terrific results with cataract surgery. Painless surgery, easy healing, great vision. I highly recommend Dr. McManus
