The Gulfcoast Difference

At Gulfcoast Eye Care, you’ll find a team of friendly experts ready to help you manage your vision with cataracts and plan your cataract surgery when you’re ready. Our skilled team uses advanced technology to diagnose, treat, and remove cataracts to provide our patients with the best results and smoothest recoveries.

What Are Cataracts?

A cataract is a very common eye condition that affects over 24 million Americans. Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens hardens and becomes cloudy, reducing the ability of the lens to properly pass light to the retina. Cataracts frequently develop with age but can also affect younger people as a result of a congenital defect or injury.

Treatment for Cataracts

In the early stages of having a cataract, your symptoms will typically be mild, and you may be able to find improvement with glasses or brighter lighting. However, as symptoms inevitably progress, surgery is the only way to completely treat cataracts. Cataract removal is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States and is widely regarded to be safe and effective. During cataract surgery your eye’s natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens implant (IOL).

Cloudy Lens Removal in Cataract Surgery at Gulfcoast Eyecare

Your cataract surgeon will make a tiny incision to remove the cloudy lens.

Clear Vision after Cataract Surgery at Gulfcoast Eyecare

A new artificial lens will be inserted to offer you clear vision.

What Are Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLS)?

Intraocular lens implants, known as IOLs, are artificial lenses that serve as replacements for your eyes’ natural lenses once your cataracts are removed. Traditional cataract surgery with a standard IOL will reverse the effects of cataracts and restore distance vision, but patients may still need glasses for activities like reading or to correct conditions like astigmatism. Our practice offers a full range of advanced IOLs that can allow patients to see more clearly at a variety of distances without a heavy reliance on corrective eyewear. For patients who would like to experience LASIK-like results, advanced IOLs can correct astigmatism, presbyopia, and vision at all distances!

The Light Adjustable Lens

Gulfcoast Eye Care is proud to offer a revolutionary advanced intraocular lens (IOL) option for cataract surgery: light adjustable lenses. Other IOLs can enhance and improve your vision, but only LALs allow your surgeon to adjust your eyesight after your procedure, so you get the best sight possible for your specific situation.

The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens is one of the most advanced premium IOLs available and will ensure you get the sharpest vision after your surgery. LALs also have built-in treatments that reduce halos and glare, helping to enhance your eyesight and quality of life.

The Advanced IOL Difference!

In addition to clearing up vision from cataracts, advanced and premium IOLs have the additional benefit of enhancing your vision, reducing your reliance on eyeglasses and contact lenses.

Dr. Manning answers common Cataract Surgery Questions

How Does Cataract Surgery Work?

Cataract surgery at Gulfcoast Eye Care is performed by Dr. Manning in an outpatient surgery center. Upon arrival at the center, your eye will be numbed with anesthetic eye drops and you will be given a mild sedative to prepare for surgery. Patients are generally quite comfortable during surgery and usually don’t feel any pain, only a pressure sensation. Your cataract surgeon will make a tiny incision to remove the cataract and will replace the natural lens with a new, artificial IOL. Surgery is performed one eye at a time. The cataract surgery incision is self-healing and doesn’t typically require any sutures.

How Long Is Cataract Surgery Recovery?

You will need to have a friend or family member drive you home after surgery, and you should plan to rest the remainder of the day. Recovery after cataract surgery typically requires minimal downtime, but you’ll typically be advised to avoid strenuous activity and exercise for one week and avoid swimming for two weeks. You’ll be given detailed instructions for antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops, which should be used for several weeks after surgery to ensure proper healing.

Cataract Surgery Results

Research shows that over 95% of the more than 3 million cataract surgeries performed in the U.S. each year result in improved vision without complications, and many patients feel that their overall quality of life improves greatly after cataract surgery. However, other conditions of the eye may affect your visual outcome after surgery. In order to understand the appropriate timing of surgery and to get a sense of the potential benefits and outcome of surgery, a comprehensive eye examination is required.

What Does Cataract Surgery Cost?

Did you know that many of the costs associated with standard cataract surgery are covered by medical insurance? Health plans vary, so check with your insurance provider to see if your plan covers a portion of your cataract surgery, and to verify that Dr. Manning at Gulfcoast Eye Care is in network with your plan. Many patients opt for an advanced or premium IOL because it can offer a more significant improvement in overall vision by reducing or eliminating your need for corrective eyewear after surgery.

How long does cataract surgery take?

Cataract surgery typically takes less than 15 minutes, but you should plan to be at the surgical center for up to 2 hours since we will take time to prepare you for surgery and check on your initial recovery before you go. Plan to have a friend or family member drive you to and from surgery.

How long before I can see after surgery?

Results will vary for each patient, but many people are able to see clearly enough to drive one day after surgery.

I recently had Refractive Lens Replacement.In the initial consult, Dr Manning was very patient and responsinve to the numerous questions I had. Prior to the surgery, I had minor cataracts and difficulty seeing up close.On the day of the surgery, the staff did a really good job in preparing me for the lens replacement and helped to calm my nerves. The actual procedure was very quick and Dr. Manning did a great job.The result of the surgery is that my eye sight is now 20/20 and I'm able to see without reading glasses.I would highly recommend Dr Manning and his staff. They were really great!!

Dr.Manning did a procedure on my eye yesterday. My fear was through the roof. I didn’t understand it was procedure day and out of fear was yappin my face off talking about other eye stuff and he patiently waited for me to stop waved his nurse over knowing I was filled with fear. She rubbed my back and he talked me through it. What a nice guy and it’s official I’m a big freaking baby. The procedure took two seconds and didn’t hurt. What a great staff and doctor. Thank you Doc and everyone at that office who smiles and says hello.

I had regular Lasik done, and it was totally worth every penny and more if it had cost more. I was in hard lense contacts for 20+ years (nearsightedness -700ish and astigmatisms in both eyes) . The doctor and employees were awesome! 100% would do it again if needed. It's like a miracle of healing from heaven, including no longer having to deal with contact frustration, Praise the Lord!

Brendan Taylor

19:28 03 Jan 24

I had a very positive experience with the Gulfcoast Eye Care team. I had ICL to correct high grade nearsightedness. Everything went very smoothly and the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Miranda the surgery counselor was excellent/friendly with scheduling, Joy did a great job making me feel comfortable on op-day, and Dr. Manning’s skill, professionalism, and thoughts were greatly valued throughout the process. I don’t normally do Google reviews but the Gulfcoast team deserves all positive feedback and recommendation I can give. The restoration of my sight has been a tremendous gift-thank you!!

Be very careful using Gulfcoast Eye Care. As a money grab they are filling eye care visits under general health care insurance claims instead of under vision insurance. My guess is they can claim more money from insurance with this method.Reply to the below response:Thank you for keeping my privacy in your response, but you are incorrect in your statement below. My wife scheduled a routine eye exam as it is stated on the bill. Just because she has healthy eyes and did not need a refraction, I was told by your staff this would be billed as a medical visit, instead of a routine annual eye exam that she was there for. I have already spoken with your very rude office manager about the subject. This is a very shady business practice that people should be aware.

I 100% recommend Gulfcoast Eye Care - Palm Harbor. Staff is kind. They give me plenty of notice on appointments. While other places tried to push lasik or procedures that could have made matters worse for me. Plenty of testing was done here to be absolutely sure I was not a candidate of lasik but instead needed RLE surgery, which I have had zero issues thanks to Dr. Manning and staff, and wasn’t a bad experience in the slightest.

Dr. Liffland is the best. I don’t say that lightly. I trust her completely, and am lucky to be her patient. She is straightforward, but kind. Very knowledgeable, but capable of explaining things in a way that can be easily understood. Beyond the doctor, I have been treated great by all other staff. Everyone is kind, approachable, and incredibly accommodating. I recommend this office to everyone I know.

Have been a happy patient of Dr Liflin for over 8 years now. My last visit was early February 2023 at which time a New contact brand was selected, even though i have used the same band for 20 years. As one could imagine there didn't work so I drove back to Eye Care Facility to obtain same set of contacts that I have been wearing since the 90's. Called 1 week later to state that new contacts are a match. I was told final prescription cannot be signed off on with out Dr. Liftlin who is on vacation for the next couples weeks. Further I have requested my contact prescription emailed to me once Dr. LIFTIN signs it and was told the email is not an option. Prescription much be picked up or can by mailed. This will be my 3rd trip to this facility. This is highly unusual activity for this doctor, have only had glowing things to say about her and her group. Unfortunately as of late I would not recommend any of my friends or family. Very disappointing.

18:18 26 Oct 22

Very good experience scheduling a quick initial appointment following an ER visit, wonderful staff in the Pinellas Park office - transferred my care to the Tampa Road office which I have now made my main vision provider; the staff there is equally friendly and attentive (unlike my previous vision provider in the East Lake area where the staff was quite stiff and unwelcoming, seemed annoyed that someone walked in the door, no weekend answering service in case of emergency - which was what happened to me). No long waits in the waiting room or being left in a room for an extended period of time as there seems to be plenty of staff to attend to each patient. Quite happy I ended up here!

Mike Hochwalt

20:52 24 Oct 22

I like the personal attention Dr. BRENDA Liffland gives me when monitoring aftercare of cataract surgery and new lenses. It is so nice to have 20/20 vision like when I was a kid with no glasses to wear. Gulfcoast Eye Care treats their clients very well. On procedures and follow ups. DR. Michael Manning makes the procedures very easy. I OPTED FOR Vivity lenses and I am 100% happy that I did.Combined with their Alphaeon health credit card at 0% Apr if paying monthly allows you to see great again without problems.

I first went in to see Dr. Luther at Gulf Coast in Pinellas with irritation caused by contacts (which was less than 30mins after I called concerned) and in that first visit, I learned more about proper eye care & health than I have in my 20 years of seeing eye doctors annually (and sometimes more frequently than that). Dr Luther took the time to explain the eye, broke things down with hands on demonstrations to make sure I understood. She gave several recommendations while being financially conscious. She & gulf coast are 100% the first people to take me and my eye care seriously. I’ve always been interested in vision correction, but in the past doctors brushed it off and briefly mentioned dry eyes, infections, frequent switching of contact brands w/o explanation, etc, so I didn’t know if it was really an option for me. The Pinellas location, st Pete, and north Pinellas clinic were all SO FRIENDLY and took their time with me (even with my disproportionate anxiety during the ICL procedure they were so sweet and talked me through it). I’m now 6 months past the procedure & Dr. Luther still takes her time to validate and listen to all of my minor questions/concerns. For the first time in my life, I can see without hockey puck sized lens and/or contacts. I went from -5.50 to better than 20/20 vision. It’s truly been a life changing experience and I have so much gratitude for this practice and Dr Luther! I will always recommend her to everyone I know!

We were on vacation in Florida and I had return my cornea prior to leaving Michigan. The drive down was miserable and shortly after getting to our vacation spot I started looking for some help w the. Pain and other issues associated w the injured eye. I was able to see Dr Luther on the 2/18, 2/20, and again on 2/22 just before our departure. The Pinellas Park office got me in quickly and we made progress quickly as well. They saved my vacation from being sacked by a huge inconvenience. Thank you very much and a tip of the hat to Dr. Luther. Very impressed.

I’ve been a patient at this office for a little over 3 years now. When I received my eye exam everything was fine, but the real trouble was when I had to order my contacts. Initially, a gentleman named Jim helped me. Since I am on a busy schedule as a college student, I did not order my contacts right away so I waited. When I came back to this office to order my contacts, they told me I had to get another consultation because it had passed the 3 month mark since I had my exam. The policy for EVERY single optical office with a valid prescription is a YEAR. With this news, I called my insurance and turns out this policy was strange and they were able to report it so it does not affect other customers. One of the office’s associates who work in the eyeglass and contact department was very rude and unhelpful when it came to ordering my contacts. Her name is Corinne, and not only did she never pick up the phone, but lied about leaving voicemails about my order being ready, when she clearly did not call me at all. She lied and stated she called me on 11/21/2023, but I called her on 11/28/2023 asking if my contacts have arrived yet, she answered with an attitude and said “if they have, wouldn’t I have called you already?” Anyways, I wouldn’t come back to this office because of “new policies” and I’d request for help from a gentleman named Jim when ordering contacts and glasses.

Fantastic all around! Tremendous experience in every respect. Planning RLE to stop need for progressive glasses for rest of my life. Scheduling was easy and price was better than others.Office visit with numerous tests was very efficient and Informative. Dr Luther communicated clearly and instilled confidence that everything checked out good and this is the place to correct my vision permanently. Tests showed no issue with retina even though I had retinal detachment years ago.Miranda (freaking amazing personality) helped schedule surgery and plan the big day.Will update when my eyes are fixed in time for Christmas!

Allan Gordon

01:20 26 Oct 23

I was seen without an appointment because I felt that foreign material had gotten into my left eye and although I had flushed it, some was still there. Dr. Luther examined both eyes thoroughly. She was able to do this without making me at all uncomfortabl and she was very nice. I had gotten the material out, but the eye had abrasions. Dr. Luther prescribed eye drops to help heal my eye and prevent infection.I felt absolutely comfortable and confident in her care. I have also been a patient of Dr. Manning and Dr. Liffland at Gulf Coast Eye and found them to be equally skilled and pleasant.

I really like Dr. Luther. She explains everything in lamens terms so that is easy to understand. Dr. Luther takes her time with you and you never feel that your appt is rushed. You never feel that your problem shouldn't be addressed.

my most recent visit was due to what felt like a foreign object (like an eyelash) that was severely irritating my eye. On the first visit Dr Luther couldn’t see anything other than an irritating buildup on the inside of my eyelid. She prescribed eye drops that I used and had me return after 2 days. Since I still had the irritation, she did another thorough investigation. She did remove a small foreign object and then preformed a thorough rinsing of my eye. After that treatment, my eye felt so much better. I’m so thankful that she took the time to make sure that my problem was resolved quickly.

I have been trying to get the right perscription for my eyes for the last 5 years! I have been a regular patient at Bascom Palmer, been seen at a local practice, and a large chain. None of then were able to get my rx correct and only blamed dry eye. I (reluctantly) went to Dr Luther at Gulfcoast Eyecare. I was skeptical. Why bother after so many disaapointments? Well, omg. I can see! Victor found my perfect Rx the first try and Dr Luther gave me so many different dry eye options. The dr's, techs, admin, and eyewear associates were all incredibly kind. I can finally see near perfectly since 2017. This is my place!

The Doctors are excellent. I highly recommend them.It is difficult to get the office staff to communicate with you. Typically requires multiple calls just to get basic info.Billing department also created a fiasco for me over $10.00, after previously refunding me too much money. This should have been written off as their mistake, rather than being put on me to handle.

I saw Dr. Lydia Lupher, who was very personable and knowledgeable. She immediately identified the problems I was having with my eye, and suggested a course of action. They don't do that specific surgery there tho she suggested a number of doctors who do. I would highly recommend her and I have to several people looking for a new opthamologist.

About a year ago, I had SMILE surgery at a clinic in Orlando. It was a not so great experience. I was left with some horrible dry eye and astigmatism in my left eye. Since I moved to St Pete, I have been coming to Gulf coast Eye Care for help with my dry eye symptoms. Dr. Luther has been SO amazing and helpful. She is so sympathetic and really takes the time to help me find solutions to make sure my symptoms are taken care of. She listens really intently to all of my concerns and is just really caring and great. I would definitely recommend Gulf coast Eye Care to everyone. The quality of care here is fantastic!

I had a stellar experience and a great outcome with my eyelid lift! Dr. Knapper and Team are awesome! Highly recommend!! Dr. Manning did both of my cataract surgeries and because of the great experience I had with him, I came back. Dr. Nguyen has seen me several times and finally, after going other places, fitted me with glasses that I purchased at the optic center there… best glassed I have had in years! Every single person that I met there was personable, helpful, and compassionate! In my opinion, they truly are five star care providers!

This is my 2nd visit. Both times I've had nothing, but the utmost quality customer service. The ladies at the front desk are always pleasant and courtesy. But my favorite is Katya. I don't believe I spelled her name correctly, but she handles the contact lens and has always been a pleasant to work with. She's super patient and kind. I've made St. Pete my home and they were apart of that.Dr. Nguyen should perhaps work on his bedside manner. He wasn't rude, but he was disconnected and I felt rushed and as if he was having a bad day. I felt this way the first time a visited as well.

Bells Croteau

14:36 21 Dec 23

The tech who worked with me - Apple - was absolutely amazing today. I have severe medical anxiety and this was my first eye exam and she was a delight, she explained everything as it went, took a water break with me when I felt a spike of anxiety, and we chatted as it went. Dr. Nguyen was also wonderful, understanding my medical unease and explaining what he was doing too. He was polite, got straight to the point, and helped out in understanding what would be right for my eyes. Wonderful experience, can't wait for next year. Thanks Gulfcoast Eye Care!

Jessica

17:02 17 Dec 23

First- Dr. Nguyen Is an optometrist, not an ophthalmologist. Fine, it was a referral from my primary care md. But when seeing a patient with an eye condition (autoimmune uveitis) that can cause blindness, he should know better than to dismiss my issues as allergies. He was rushed, and an assistant even came into the room and stood there awkwardly/rudely just looking at Dr. Nguyen in order to move the appointment along. He spent the time lecturing me about the risks of prednisone drops (which I’m very familiar with, I’ve had this condition for 25 years, and I would be blind by now if I listened to inexperienced clinicians like Dr. Nguyen & didn’t self-treat with prednisone) I have since found an experienced ophthalmologist in network, but I wouldn’t go back to Dr. Nguyen if even if I just needed glasses. This place is just shuffling people through to maximize profit, and Dr. Nguyen is too young & arrogant to know what is outside the scope of his expertise, or understand the damage he can cause.

Gayelle Angelotti

15:49 13 Dec 23

Was not at all pleased with the level of care received. The tech did all the work and only saw the Dr. for maybe like 2 minutes. I took my prescription to get my eyeglasses at a local mall and I couldn’t even see out of them once I got them. So something went wrong somewhere? What happened to when the Doctor actually did the exam? I trust in these people to help fix me and now I have to rethink that! I understand that these professionals are busy and see a lot of patients throughout the day, but aren’t we all.

Gulfcoast Eye Care has been performing my regular checkups for several years. I believe that they provide high quality care with uptodate technology, have found that they keep to the scheduled time of appointments, and provide welcome tree-shaded (natural) parking. One criticism: I feel that the ophthalmologist does not communicate well; he gives short, pronouncements, does not provide explanation of what he is doing/finding while examining, and responds to my questions with perfunctory answers. I feel that he is completely competent and that he gives his full attention, and do not plan to change ophthalmologist, but would prefer better communication.

Absolutely ridiculous place. Charging patients on a fixed income $45 to give them the prescription that the insurance paid for. Sucking older people dry to have access to their results. All because they know that purchasing eye wear online is more affordable. Greedy. Pls dnt go here. They may charge a fee just to tell u “good morning”

Everyone I encountered at Gulfcoast Eye Care was professional, efficient and caring. My new glasses are exactly what I needed. Five stars all around.

Brad Fenner

19:55 12 May 23

The procedure was all I hoped for. The staff was Superb. The results were all I had been promised.The one reason I gave 4 Stars rather than 5 Stars is because I was told that the cost would be $6,000 for both eyes.The Counselor with whom I spoke never mentioned there would be an additional $2,000 for the facility fee where the procedure would be done.Would I have still gone with Gulfcoast Eyecare? Absolutely! Yes!I would simply like to have been told the total cost from the beginning.If I could give 4.5 or 4.75 Stars, I would.

This experience is regarding the Lasik consult only and not the actual procedure. I came here to get another opinion on whether or not I should proceed with Lasik after a major Lasik center, one that advertises constantly, told me that despite the fact that Lasik would be safe and effective for me, I'd likely rue the day I did it due to dry eye (they diagnosed me with a evaporative dry eye after doing some tests) given that my dry eye issues subside when I wear contact lenses (remember this detail). They recommended trying to stay out of glasses for a month and seeing how often I use eye drops. Thanks to this advice, I attempted it and it became apparent the answer was every few hours I'd need drops.The staff at this location is professional and friendly. The testing lasts about 2-3 hours. I felt comfortable with the tests and all the staff. I talked to the optometrist, Dr. Nguyen, about my dry eye concerns and he made the passing comment that "adding plastic to your eyes worsens dry eye." This, of course, is the opposite of my experience. I had a flash back to the other center that told me not to consider Lasik if my dry eye was better with contacts (which it is). I let the testing continue and, as I'd been told previously, safe and effective. Dr. Nguyen did offer caution that my ability to see up close may potentially worsen post-Lasik (granted, it does in everyone eventually) and that there's a scar in my eye that may impact the type of procedure that can be done.After consulting with a few ophthalmologist friends, I decided against proceeding. As much as I want Lasik, the thought of putting drops in every hour or two is not an exchange I'd want to make. Per their paperwork, this place does charge you a fee for the testing if you decide not to move forward with the procedure. I'll be calling them soon to pay for the testing.My takeaway from this experience is, if you're considering Lasik, go to at least two centers and listen very, very carefully. My dry eye being better with contacts, being told I'd need to live with constant drops and my near vision worsening necessitating glasses anyway are all reasons I decided not to move forward with the procedure. It took two consults for me to get the complete picture of why Lasik was a bad idea for me. That said, I have friends that didn't have dry eye conditions that did it and absolute love their results.

So impressed! So appreciative that the St. Pete office could fit me in when I was experiencing a severe irritation-then, when I went for my follow up appt., I had the pleasure of working with Angelo! He took such great care of me, addressed all of my concerns, and went several "extra miles"---even determining that my insurance would cover vision/health here, so was able to get MORE done! There is such a feeling of relief, knowing I can come to THIS office and get all my vision and eye health needs taken care of, with accuracy, professionalism, and great good humor. Cannot recommend them highly enough!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I want to acknowledge more people you will encounter in this business-Brianna, with her ability to do so many things, Emma and her welcoming smile, Victor💪, Lindsey who will make everything work, Dr. Nguyen, and the awesome Dr. Manning! I know there are some I'm leaving out, Soo sorry, but EVERYONE is really great here!.This has been an excellent experience!💛💛💛💛💛

I had multi focal refractive lens exchange last week. The staff was so professional and helpful, keeping me informed throughout the whole procedure. They were patient about answering my questions. The whole thing was very smooth from beginning to end. I have my 1 week follow up this week, and not experiencing any issues. I went to the dollar store and picked up some readers while I wait for the swelling to subside, however, I am finding that I don't really need them so much as I did the first 2 days. I never did get that scratchy feeling they mentioned MAY happen. I also don't see halos around lights, that is also a side effect. Very happy with procedure and would def recommend it!!!

This was a beautiful office. Apple, was very efficient she brought me back went over health history and explained everything she would be doing prior to seeing Dr. Nguyen. I got my eyes dialated and Dr. Nguyen came in did my eye exam answered a few questions I had and out the door I went. Staff were all very nice.
