More About Florida Eye Health

Patients receive quality care with Dr. Frantz's expert hands and advanced technology.

Dr. Jonathan Frantz is the medical director and chief surgeon of Florida Eye Health. He has personally selected and trained his medical team so that they provide the highest quality patient care. For LASIK surgery, Dr. Frantz uses the VISX STAR S4 WaveScan System & CustomVue LASIK. This new technology wavefront system provides a unique "corneal map" for each eye. This map is then programmed into the excimer laser so that the cornea is re-shaped in a customized and individualized way to correct each patient's vision. This advanced technology, and the fact that Dr. Frantz is the most experienced LASIK surgeon in the area, makes Florida Eye Health the area's leading practice for laser vision correction.

In addition to LASIK surgery, Dr. Frantz also performs PRK, and Lens Implants, including ReSTOR and ReZOOM for near and distance vision, and Verisyse (IOL for those very nearsighted patients who do not qualify for LASIK).
