Having dealt with Drs. Barber and Mackinder in the past and with Dr. Chih today, I highly recommend using Central Eye Specialists for all your vision needs. My family has used them for vision checkups, repairing a torn retina, cataract surgery and allergy issues and couldnt ask for better care.

They were so kind and caring. Amazing care

It is so nice to wake up each morning and be able to see without any glasses or contacts Amazing Thank you Dr Barber and a thank you to all his help.

I found Dr. Pennachio because I passed by his office in Clermont and he also was on my list that accepted my insurance. Dr. Pennachio was patient and kind. I had been told about 2 years ago that I had the beginnings of two different kinds of cataracts in both eyes. It seems they advanced quickly within the past 5 months. Suddenly, my most recent prescription glasses were not working at all. I am a musician and typically have two pair, one for every day and one for the distance to the music stand. Dr. Pennachio understood this and explained that it would be useless to attempt to prescribe lenses until I had my cataract corrected as I was in such an advanced state. I struggled through a month of rehearsals and concerts and scheduled the first surgery. The improvement in that eye was immediate! I was able to schedule the 2nd eye two weeks later! I now have nearly 20/20 distance vision. The staff/those who help determine prescriptions were very patient as we determined the lenses needed to get the distance to the music stand. It isnt the same as a computer. After a couple of adjustments in my every day and music glasses which were corrected by the staff with no problem or additional cost, I am pleased as can be! Prior to seeing Dr. Pennachio and his staff I had just had an unpleasant experience at an optometrist in Leesburg. I actually left in the middle of the appointment. He then told my husband that my cataract was really bad and I should get to an ophthalmologist however he failed to even mention that to me. He was just rude when I struggled with the exam. I believe he would have finished the exam and attempted to prescribe lenses which is what I did NOT need.
