Cataract patients now have an option to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! Individuals suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery. NEW multi-focal, accommodating and astigmatic correction IOL technology can now decrease dependence on glasses after surgery. These include the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL, Crystalens® and the AcrySof® Toric IOL. If you are seeking one of these options, please feel free to consult our staff.

Eye Physicians of Central Florida is pleased to announce that pediatric ophthalmologist Jamie L. Ikeda, M.D., is joining the practice in August. Dr. Ikeda will join Robert S. Gold, M.D., F.A.A.P., and Louis C. Blumenfeld, M.D., F.A.A.P., in treating the unique eye care needs of children ranging from newborns to adolescents. She also has expertise in the treatment of adults with eye muscle disorders such as double vision or crossed eyes.
A member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Dr. Ikeda recently completed her fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and adult eye muscle disorders at Washington University School of Medicine in the St. Louis area. Prior to that, she served her residency in ophthalmology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Dr. Ikeda earned her medical degree from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.
“Our practice has grown right along with Central Florida over the years, especially in the number of young families we serve,” explains Dr. Gold, Eye Physicians of Central Florida’s senior pediatric ophthalmologist. “Dr. Ikeda comes to us highly recommended from her fellowship program and will make the perfect addition to our pediatric team, allowing us to better meet the needs of our patients and community. We think moms, dads and children will appreciate her expertise as will our referring physicians.”
Dr. Ikeda will serve patients in all three of Eye Physicians of Central Florida’s offices – Longwood, Winter Park and MetroWest.
“I am excited about the opportunity to call Central Florida home and work in an established practice alongside two accomplished pediatric ophthalmologists like Dr. Gold and Dr. Blumenfeld,” said Dr. Ikeda. “I find working with children to be both challenging and rewarding. I love that I have the opportunity to make an impact early in a child’s life.”
