Sometimes patients make the trip just to see us for specialty services, like vision therapy or NeuroVisual evaluations. Sometimes they come for Florida vacation and stop by for an eye exam.

"How do you know what kids can see if they don't know their letters for the traditional eye chart?"

We are very excited about our new, larger, better office just for kiddos!

We have created a document to help you understand the parts of the test, what equipment is used, and what we hope to learn from them.

On April 17, 2025, Bright Eyes Kids hosted a Grand Opening party for the new location at 15310 Amberly Drive, Tampa, FL 33647 - right across the street from our old location!

Bright Eyes has been offering myopia management programs for over 15 years. Now we are part of a nationwide clinical study and your child may be a candidate for a paid study!

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common disease that gets worse over time and is growing at a rapid rate in children, especially with more time spent on screens and doing near work.

For many years, Dr. Nate Bonilla-Warford & Dr. Beth Knighton, residency-trained optometrists, hosted a postcast about eye exams, vision therapy, myopia control, orthokeratology, and sports vision training. Most of these podcasts are no longer available, bu some are cross-posted.

When Dr. Elizabeth Knighton "Dr. Beth" joined Bright Eyes in 2014, we were thrilled to have her. She had specialty training in children's vision and is extremely nice.

Dr. Nate, Dr. Beth, and Cristina are proud to announce that Bright Eyes Family Vision Care has been honored with the 2021 CooperVision Best Practices award!
