Medical review pending Updated

The Villages eye care starts at Hindsight Eye Care. We have served this community since 2007, and our office is on Burnsed Blvd in Pinellas Plaza. Our goal is simple: we want you to see your best at every visit.

The Villages eye care for every visit

Every patient gets a full eye exam and clear answers. We check how well you see, and we check how healthy your eyes are. Your eyes can also show early signs of other health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or glaucoma.

So your exam looks for those signs too. Find out more about a complete eye exam at our office.

Eyeglasses made in our own lab

We show more than 1,000 designer and brand-name frames. Because we have our own 1-hour optical lab, we can make many pairs of glasses the same day. We make single vision, bifocal, trifocal and progressive lenses, plus Transitions lenses.

We also carry major lens brands such as Varilux, Zeiss, Hoya, Shamir and Essilor. See our eyeglasses and eyeglass lenses pages for details.

Contact lens exams and fittings

We do contact lens exams and fittings for most eyes, including eyes that are hard to fit. Our team helps you choose lenses that feel comfortable, and we teach you how to put them in and care for them. See more on our contact lenses page.
