In 1981, eye surgeon Lawrence Katzen, M.D., founded the Katzen Eye Care & Laser Center with a commitment to provide patients in Palm Beach County with the finest quality eye care available. Since that time, more than 50,000 LASIK and cataract surgery and general ophthalmology patients have had their vision surgically improved at the center.
For 40 years, Katzen Eye Care and Laser Center has strived and continues to deliver the highest quality of eye care by consistently meeting and exceeding patients 'service expectations. We utilize most advanced technology in a compassionate and personalized setting and resulting in the best possible patient outcomes.
With our annual eye exams and complimentary LASIK consultations, examine your vision capabilities and recommend necessary steps toward improving eye health and durability. Vision, and the proficiency of which you have dictated what you see, what you perceive, and what activities you carry out. Our corrective surgeries and procedures restore your vision, enabling you to see life clearly.
As we age, the natural Lens of our eye becomes cloudy, which prevents the light rays from focusing clearly on the back of the eye. When the natural lens becomes less transparent or cloudy, it is referred to as a cataract. Images are no longer clear and sharp. This visual loss can be mild or quite severe.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with glaucoma, you are likely seeking more information on this eye condition, including the most effective treatment. Glaucoma is an eye disease that results from damage to the optic nerve from high pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure), due to fluid buildup.

Horrible experience. Dr. Was pleasant and thorough but busted a blood vessel in my left eye. And the prescription for the antibiotic for my infection was never called out. I’m still trying to locate my Rx the day after my visit!!! Communication is weak and best and they basically act as if they don’t care. They dont present well as a medical facility.

Patient was my husband James Kehoe. The technician and the doctor were very thorough and a pleasure to deal with. We are snowbirds and have been coming to this facility for a few years.

Prompt and excellent service for my emergency eye issues, and a much needed routine check up all in one!! Standard of care, since my lasik procedure, hasn’t changed a bit. Gracias, Trini!

My whole experience from start to end of my PRK has been great. The nurses and doctors are wonderful. Even the surgery itself wasn’t too bad and the staff made you feel comfortable the whole way through it. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing surgical eye care!

Katzen Eye Center was a wonderful experience.
Dr Luchs was excellent. He was prompt, courteous, and answered all my questions.
The staff was always friendly and professional.
The Surgical Coordinator George is a true gem. He was patient and kind and addressed all of my concerns. He explained in detail what to expect from my procedures. Meridith the Surgical Tech was so nice and professional. Dr. Hargreaves OD was very good post operatively.
As a healthcare professional myself (Surgical RN) I recognize the importance of a great team that are medically skilled and who are also true Patient Advocates

Let's start by saying my doctor recommended I come here. I made my appointment a whole month ago, and they never called me to remind me of my appointment, i had to call them and the person seemed annoyed that I called about my appointment. Two, I was there on time only for me to spend the whole time in the waiting. No one bothers to say, “Hey, we're running behind, so your appointment may take longer, but a full hour and a half.” I didn’t even want to come to this location. I won’t have been as annoyed 😒 if I was in the west palm beach location. My house is a two min drive from the west

I'll start from the beginning; my appointment started on schedule with a polite receptionist; I had to fill in a couple of questions which didn't take long. Katzen is modernized with all the latest computer applications and can access with any device. These features will avoid waiting on the phone. The eye technician was very cordial, intelligent, and a delight (her name is Trinidad) and did a commendable eye examination before Dr. Coieza examed me. The doctor explained everything similar to my last visit.
Ps. Bring dark sunglasses or have someone else drive bc in dilating your pupil, the sun

Started at Katzen back in 1999 for lasik surgery. They came highly recommended by my current eye doctor. Was lucky to have Dr Katzen perform the procedure. No issues with my eyes until recently. Needed cataract surgery and figured Katzen was my best option. My surgery was performed by Dr. Luchs. So far so good. Everyone at the center is terrific. Would highly recommend.

I had eye surgery at this clinic many years ago. My surgery was successful and for many years I returned for a yearly examination. At that time I had medical insurance. At this time I do not. I was told that this clinic is now under new ownership. It sounds like it has been taken over by a money grubbing bunch of scam artists to me. I asked them what the price was for the examination without insurance. All they would tell me is that it was $194.00 to walk in the door. Then once they decide how much they want to jack up the bill after the examination they will tell me the cost.
I have had the exact
