At Bright Eyes, we believe that we are all more than just our roles. We are dynamic people who have families and interests beyond eyecare. For example, Dr. Beth is an excellent carpenter that has made everything from dining room tables to Gaga Ball pits.  Cristina is a life-long Girl Scout leader who plans and leads camps for hundreds of girls and women each year.

We are excited to announce that in order to meet our growing pediatric patient demand, we have also added a new doctor, Jordan Kennedy, OD.

We talk a lot about children’s vision here at Bright Eyes because we absolutely love seeing kids!  But we also love caring for our adult patients as well. Sadly, I have come to the realization that I am no longer young.  I need reading glasses!

Back-to-school season is here in Hillsborough County. And that means one thing…. Expect TRAFFIC!  That is true, but obviously it means much more than that.

For 20 years, Bright Eyes Family Vision Care has been proud to serve families in the Westchase community and throughout the Tampa Bay area. We are excited to celebrate this milestone with the people who made it possible... our patients, friends, neighbors, referral partners, and local community.

For generations, many people have thought of nearsightedness, or myopia, as little more than an inconvenience. If a child couldn't see the board at school, they got glasses. As their prescription changed, they received stronger glasses. It was simply considered a normal part of growing up.

I talk to parents for a living.  Something about the amount of time children spend on phones, tablets, computers, and gaming devices just doesn't seem healthy. Now the have the U.S. Surgeon General on their side.

When Bright Eyes Family Vision Care opened its doors on July 1, 2006, the vision was simple: create a practice where families could receive exceptional eye care in a welcoming environment, where children felt comfortable, parents felt heard, and every patient was treated individually. 

When I was a kid, I remember the last day of school: cleaning out my desk and locker, saying goodbye to teachers, and heading home for months of freedom. Even though I enjoyed school, I enjoyed riding my bike, staying up late reading, and sleepovers any day of the week. In fact, a hallmark of summer was not really having to keep track of which day of the week it was, because it didn’t really matter.

Bright Eyes Family Vision Care is growing and we are hiring people with who want to help in our mission to empower patients through providing the best in friendly, professional, and individualized eye care.
