Don’t take our word for it — confirm Coastal Eye Institute’s credentials and dig into the specialty yourself.

Coastal Eye Institute is one of the region's oldest and largest multispecialty ophthalmology groups, founded in 1964 as the Manatee Eye Clinic and now operating across Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Ellenton, Parrish, and Sun City Center. Its fellowship-trained ophthalmologists deliver subspecialty care spanning cataract surgery, cornea, glaucoma, retina/macular degeneration, LASIK, oculoplastics, dry eye, and diabetic eye disease. For cataracts, the surgeons use modern phacoemulsification with small-incision, foldable intraocular lens implantation, a procedure that typically takes under 15 minutes, and offer premium and advanced lens options. The practice's cataract and cornea team includes board-certified surgeons such as Dr. Murray Friedberg and Dr. Jeffrey Davis, alongside glaucoma/cataract specialist Dr. Robert Edelman. With multiple locations and a broad subspecialty bench, Coastal Eye Institute functions as a full-service regional eye-care center rather than a single-doctor practice.
