Southern Eye Group
Our eye doctors provide exceptional and comprehensive eye care to people across the Alabama, Florida and Mississippi Gulf Coast. By using the most advanced technology, our experienced optometrists and ophthalmologists help patients improve their vision and preserve their eye health everyday. Overall, the Southern Eye Group team strives to provide excellent patient care and high-quality treatment that is customized to meet your unique eyes.

We will work tirelessly to make sure that your needs are met, questions are answered, and experiences are always first-rate! Cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. The lens is the primary focusing mechanism of the eye. As we age, this crystal clear lens becomes cloudy and yellow and loses its elasticity, or ability to change focus.

Having moved from Huntsville we have had to redo everything. My wife saw Dr Wilder first and first try he was able to get her contacts and glasses right. They were very flexible on her contact trials and her glasses came back exactly how she wanted them. Me in the other hand is probably the worse patient one can be. The technician was fantastic. She took her time with me and for that reason all was good. Dr Wilder also understood my concerns. He was conservative on the approach but looks like the first try on my contacts is going to work. They also took my insurance which is a plus. I

Beware! My eyes had become so irritated I booked a appointment with Dr Rowlins. Met with Dr Rowlins, she prescribed a treatment plan requiring prescriptions. This office policies are to send prescriptions to your pharmacy at 12 for am patients and close of business for afternoon patients. I went back to the office and called their business subsidiary, same answer. So if your expectations are to be treated as a patient needing immediate relief, this establishment is not for you.

I was scheduled for cataract surgery on 01/29/20 at 11:50 am being done at the surgery center 411 section St. In Fairhope. The day before the surgery my surgery time was changed to 10:00 am due to cancellations. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive from my residence to the surgery center, arriving at 9:30 to complete all necessary paperwork . The patient waiting area was full and overheard waiting patients grumbling about some having the same appointment times with one patient had been waiting since 7 am, by this time it was 12:00 so I asked the receptionist how much longer I would be waiting. The receptionist

She did surgery on my eyes. What a fantastic doctor. Thanks also to her nurse Tiffany. Great service. Bent over backwards to accommodate me.

I recommend Dr. Corder. She has provided me with quality eye care in a professional manner and has always spent plenty of time with me to address any questions or concerns that I have had.

My husband and I have used Donna Corder as our Ophthalmologist for the last 23 years. She is extremely thorough and professional. She explains what she is doing and why which I appreciate and does not hurry the appointment which I also appreciate.

She was at Center for Sight when I went to see about a growth on my eyelid. I called and called about the results, but when I went to her office I was told they had called me. That was nonsense. I have three phone numbers, all of which are 24/7. Then she argued about physics of radiation. She was wrong but why would a physician argue with a patient?

Dr. Zloty and staff are wonderful. I had a consultation for LASIK thinking I had a prescription too high to get the procedure. Dr. Zloty saw me and eased my concerns. He and his staff explained everything to me and answered all my questions. The surgery was quick and I was briefed about how much discomfort I would experience. I went through the surgery just fine and can see without prescription lenses for the first time in about 30 years.
