I'm using transition glasses for the last ten years.
The Dr started my eye exam like I never used glasses before. She took the time with me to do an outstanding eyes test. I was years using readers during the night because I can read with my prescribed glasses, also having trouble to see details during day time. I'm so happy with my new 24/7 glasses. The fact that I don't have to reach my readers at any moment it's so amazing to me.
Thank you Eye Center to have such a great Doctor with you guys.read more

Dr. Brad Laudicina has been my optometrist for several years and there isn't anyone else that I would trust with my eye care. I've purchased eyeglasses and contact lenses from their office and have always been very satisfied with the products and services provided. Dr. Laudicina is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, helpful, professional and passionate about his work. He takes the time to educate patients and ensures that they understand what is taking place and how to properly care for their eyes and vision. The staff at the Eye Center are also extremely helpful, friendly, attentive and help to ensure a positive experience. 10/10 and highly recommended!read more

Provide misleading Information on the cost of their products. I was convinced to order a year supply of contacts because it would be more cost beneficial and I qualified for a rebate. Once I picked it up, I had to pay full price and no offer to help figure something out or work with me on the situation which was their fault for providing me the wrong Information.read more

Personal service, very professional. Dr Mackie fitted my contacts. It probably took 10 visits, trying 6 different brands and types until we found the right setup. I though they would get frustrated by me going back and forth. However, I felt pleased with their courteous service.
On other matters, I caught a couple of eye infections. I called their office to seek help and they were very helpful scheduling me for same day service. My infections were treated and I remain a very very happy customer.
I truly recommend the practice.read more

Eye Center, Inc. is a wonderful place, from the moment you walk in. To a bright clean office and a cheery hello. Dr. Black is terrific, he was gentle, caring and just a laid back doctor, who had time for questions.
After my cataract surgery at another place, as they do not do that here, I would never go to any place but Eye Center. I felt bad for Dr. Black, as my second eye, ended up with a scratched cornea. All I knew was a contact with a band-aid was place on my eye at the end of surgery. He carefully removed it and if the pain was to much come back, after lunch. I called and they said come on in, and he put another contact with band aide in. Next day I had to go back and he removed it and life is good. He took it all in stride.
I wish the surgeon had said I had dry eyes, not just put the drops in as prescribed, I think the first eye would have been bearable.
Other physician are in this office and I am sure they are equally as qualified.
I have had a great experience, almost 40 years ago with the Bradenton office, thanks to all....read more

I read dr black’s education and background then people say don’t go there it’s t
Over expensive they don’t accept all health ins companies but I had to see for myself, seeing is believing so I went there they don’t accept Humana but I like to try the best 1st if it’s reasonably priced an eye exam by an expert might be more important than $100. You get what you pay for. The article in the local monthly newspaper raved about Dr Black Eye Center. Dr Black’s examination revealed I have 20/20 vision using my two year old bent scratched glasses and that I didn’t need new glasses. I knew I needed new glasses because I couldn’t see well enough to drive especially at night. I thought Dr Black Eye Center was closing early there was an affair going on he and his assistant had to run out to in a hurry. I wanted better glasses this time instead of cheap store two pairs for the price of one pair. The nice showroom 2 for one stores service hundreds of clients DrBlack Eye Center’s showroom was always empty. Doctors usually listen.read more
