The Gulf Coast Glaucoma Clinic is a regional glaucoma referral center.  Since we opened our doors in 1980, our mission has always been to end blindness from glaucoma or at least find and treat every case.  With that in mind our doctors stay on "the cutting edge" of technology. This ensures that we will always provide the best possible care for our patients.


At the Gulf Coast Glaucoma Clinic we study and treat all cases of glaucoma as well as other eye disorders.

If you were referred to us by your ophthalmologist, optometrist, or physician, you can rest assured we will work closely with your referring doctor to keep him or her well informed of your progress.

With office locations in Bradenton, Venice, Sarasota and Port Charlotte, we proudly serve all of Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota counties.
