Why Tampa Patients Look Outside the City
Why Tampa Patients Choose Us
Tampa has more eye surgeons than any other market we serve, and the highest prices to go with them. It also has the largest number of people who actually need this care, roughly 55,000 residents aged 65 and older. Patients who come to us from Tampa have almost always compared two or three practices first.
Premium lens implant upgrades at $2,250 per eye for a trifocal or extended depth of focus implant. Tampa centers commonly quote $3,500 to $4,000 for the identical implant.
One surgeon, every step. Ahad Mahootchi, MD performs your consultation, your procedure, and every follow-up personally, with more than 30,000 procedures behind him since 1997.
Our own surgery center on site, Medicare approved and Florida licensed. It is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), so nothing routes to a hospital.
Dropless surgery replaces the usual four-week schedule of three eye drops with one generic drop or none, which removes both the prescription cost and the pharmacy trips.
No fee before surgery for medical clearance or astigmatism testing, and no extra charge for laser-free surgery or for monovision, which means setting one eye for distance and the other for near.
Straight Up US-301 From Tampa
The Eye Clinic of Florida
One Road From the City to Our Door
Driving to Our Office From Tampa
Take US-301 north out of Tampa and stay on it. It is about 29 miles and runs roughly 40 minutes in normal traffic. US-301 becomes Gall Boulevard where it passes through Zephyrhills, so the road you start on is the road our building sits on, at 6739 Gall Boulevard. You cross from Hillsborough County into Pasco County along the way, and there is parking at the door.

Eye Doctors Serving Tampa Patients
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best custom lens replacement doctor in Tampa Bay?
No one can honestly claim that title, so here is what you can check instead. Ask how many lens procedures the surgeon has personally performed, whether that surgeon does the calculations or hands them to a technician, and what the upgrade costs in writing. Dr. Mahootchi has completed more than 30,000 procedures, does his own calculations, and posts his prices. Our custom lens replacement page has the details.
Is glaucoma treatment covered by Medicare?
Yes. Medicare covers medically necessary glaucoma testing, monitoring, medication management, laser treatment, and surgery. It also covers an annual glaucoma screening for people at higher risk, including anyone with diabetes or a family history of the disease. Our glaucoma page explains the treatments we offer, including the XEN Gel Stent.
What is the difference between LASIK and custom lens replacement?
They work on different parts of the eye. Laser vision correction such as LASIK reshapes the cornea, the clear front window, which fixes distance vision but cannot restore near focus. Custom lens replacement swaps the eye's natural lens for an implant, which addresses near vision and removes any future cataract in the same step. Over about 45, lens replacement is usually the more durable answer.
