About Barrett Eubanks
Dr. Barrett Eubanks is a board-certified ophthalmologist with advanced specialization in using state-of-the-art technology to correct vision. His interests include astigmatism correction, treatment of nearsightedness and farsightedness and cataract surgery. He has performed over 8,000 procedures and spends countless hours researching ways to improve the correction of these conditions. Dr. Eubanks can be found at Herzig Eye Institute performing the most advanced forms of vision correction surgery as well as precision cataract surgery with the latest technology.
Dr. Eubanks’ journey to become an ophthalmologist began in Florida where he was born and raised. He was a technophile from a young age – dabbling into computer programming in his spare time and excelling in science and technology. He went on to study at the prestigious Cornell University, where he first became interested in medicine. The thought of applying the latest technological advancements to improve the health of others resounded strongly with Dr. Eubanks. He attended medical school at the University of Florida where he became fascinated with the intricacy of the eyes and correcting vision. During ophthalmology residency at the renowned Ocher Clinic Foundation and Louisiana State University, Dr. Eubanks discovered he had a rare talent for performing delicate eye surgery (probably due to all the video games he played as a child). Therefore, after finishing residency, Dr. Eubanks completed even more specialized surgical training during fellowship to hone his skills and fulfill his dream of performing vision correction surgery.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Eubanks enjoys an active lifestyle of running marathons and swimming, which constantly remind him about the benefits of exceptional vision without glasses and contacts. He enjoys rooting for Florida Gators college football and Tampa Bay Lightning hockey to connect and remind him of his memories in medical school (in between studying of course!) and the quality time spent with his family growing up. Even in his spare time he has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and self-development – he continues to tinker and build computers like he has since childhood, is working on improving his French and Spanish languages, and obtained an MBA. This balanced life allows Dr. Eubanks to excel in vision correction and provide optimal care and results for his patients.

Important Safety Information
The EVO/EVO+ ICLs are indicated for patients who are 21 to 60 years of age and are available in spherical powers ranging from -3.0 D to -18.0 D for the correction/reduction of myopia with or without a cylinder power range from 1.0 D to 6.0 D. The hyperopic ICLs are indicated for patients who are 21 to 45 years of age and are available in powers ranging from +3.0 D to +10.0 D for the correction/reduction of hyperopia. In order to be sure that your surgeon will use an ICL with the most adequate power for your eye, your nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism should be stable for at least a year before undergoing eye surgery. ICL surgery may improve your vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. ICL surgery does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, even if you have never worn them before. ICL represents an alternative to other refractive surgeries including, laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), incisional surgeries, or other means to correct your vision such as contact lenses and eye glasses. Implantation of an ICL is a surgical procedure, and as such, carries potentially serious risks. The following represent potential complications/ adverse reactions reported in conjunction with refractive surgery in general: additional surgeries, cataract formation, loss of best corrected vision, raised pressure inside the eye, loss of cells on the innermost surface of the cornea, conjunctiva I irritation, acute corneal swelling, persistent corneal swelling, endophthalmitis (total eye infection), significant glare and/or halos around lights, hyphaema (blood in the eye), hypopyon (pus in the eye), eye infection, ICL dislocation, macular oedema, non-reactive pupil, pupillary block glaucoma, severe inflammation of the eye, iritis, uveitis, vitreous loss and corneal transplant. Before considering ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery.
