When it comes to community, Dr. Ornella keeps her eyes on the prize. In 2020, she and Dr. Ryan (her husband + fellow optometrist) opened their own practice to provide quality patient-centered eye care to the 863.

A year and a half later, Eyes on Lakeland (1400 S. Florida Ave.) is a go-to for patients who want personalized care at a value-driven, state of the art clinic. Here are 3 ways they do that:

Focusing on patients

Because they’re locally-owned + family-operated (read: not commercial), patients can expect not just a great eye exam, but genuine connection.

Carrying socially-conscious brands

Frame brands Eco and Modo plant trees + donate frames for every pair sold.

Giving back

Every year, the team volunteers to give free eye exams to kids in need.

Bonus: They just acquired a dry eye relief machine that treats the root cause — no drops required. We’ll give that a 20/20.
