We are a leader in refractive eye care innovation. We constantly strive to improve our patients’ lifestyles, as well as their vision, using the best technology, surgical results and unprecedented customer service.

When it comes to entrusting your vision to a surgeon, experience and precision matter—and Dr. Andrew Shatz brings both in abundance. As Medical Director of SightTrust Eye Institute, Dr. Shatz has performed more than 30,000 intraocular procedures, including cataract surgery, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), and implantable lens technology. Dr. Shatz is the #1 implanter of EVO ICL in Florida. He is also among the first surgeons in the country to perform all cataract and lens replacement procedures using femtosecond laser technology. In addition, he offers bilateral, same-day surgery for both cataract surgery and lens exchange procedures to the vast majority of his patients, meaning both eyes can be treated in a single visit, with faster recovery and fewer return trips to the office. Beyond his surgical expertise, Dr. Shatz is a national lecturer for both optometrists and ophthalmologists, an assistant clinical professor at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and a surgeon frequently sought out by colleagues to handle their most complex cataract, RLE, and EVO ICL cases. His patients, including leaders in entertainment, sports, and business, consistently choose him not only for his advanced technique across cataract surgery, RLE, and EVO ICL, but also for the personalized, concierge-level care that defines the SightTrust experience.
