Welcome to Dunedin Eye Care

Providing Quality Eye Care in Dunedin, FL

Dunedin Eye Care offers a wide array of optometry services for you and your family. We provide annual eye exams, emergency eye care, glaucoma testing, glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, and pre- and post-operative eye care. If you are considering LASIK surgery, we will evaluate your eyes and tell you if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Our optometrist, Dr. Stephanie Coates, strives to provide personalized, high-quality eye care to the community.

Personalized Optometry Services

Dr. Coates personally chooses every member of our team. She bases her decisions on a candidate's prior experience, professionalism, and commitment to personalized customer service. We want you to experience a productive appointment in a comfortable setting. We keep a licensed optician on staff. Our optician will help you with choosing the best eyeglass frames for your fashion sense and lifestyle. We offer glasses and high-quality, broad-spectrum polarized sunglasses.

Annual Eye Exams

Everyone should receive an eye exam at least once per year to be screened for serious eye conditions such as glaucoma. Our eye care team aims to keep each patient well informed about their eye health. If you are interested in contact lenses, meet with Dr. Coates to discuss your options. There are many types of contact lenses, including multifocal lenses for those who would rather avoid bifocal glasses. We will help you decide the best choice for your lifestyle and your eyes.

Financing Options

If you are underinsured or uninsured, we offer several financing options. If you are underinsured, someone from our office will work with your vision insurance company to find the best financing option for you. We do not want a lack of insurance to prevent members of the community from having good eye health and clearer vision.
