ITEC is proud to offer quality medical and surgical eye care by some of the most experienced eyecare professionals in Central Alabama. The components of a medical eye exam vary depending on your age, the date of your last exam, your family medical history and other factors. The American Academy of Ophthalmology suggests children with seemingly normal vision have their first eye exam by age four.
Cataract surgery involves replacement of the cloudy natural lens of the eye. Generally, it is performed on one eye at a time as an outpatient procedure in an Ambulatory Surgical Center. During cataract surgery an artificial lens is placed in the eye. Many people can benefit from new Premium lenses that can help eliminate the need for glasses.
Cataract is a clouding of the natural lens, the part of the eye responsible for focusing light and producing clear, sharp images. The lens is contained in a sealed bag or capsule. As old cells die they become trapped within the capsule. Over time, the cells accumulate causing the lens to cloud, making images look blurred or fuzzy.
We provide the latest in conventional and laser surgical technology. Our in-office surgical suite, YAG, Argon, and SLT lasers allow us to perform minor surgical and laser procedures without the difficulty of being admitted to an outpatient facility or hospital. Occasionally after a patient has had cataract surgery, a cloudy film or membrane may form behind the artificial lens implant.

Anita, office manager at ITEC is rude, unprofessional and condescending. If ITEC wants to keep existing patients/customers or acquire new patients/customers maybe they need to hire a more professional employee or offer employee training classes on customer service etiquette!

My girlfriend took her grandmother there for an appointment and that will be the absolute last time she goes there. A worker there named Cindy was the worst. She does not deserve to be working there if she wants to treat an 80 year old women in the way she did. She didn’t introduce herself and had a terrible attitude. I will be calling corporate and letting them know what happened today. If i could give 0 stars I would. Also let me not forget that my girlfriend had to ask if her grandma’s eyes needed sunglasses before she was about to leave.

I called Itec Montgomery to schedule an eye exam and asked to confirm if my insurance would be accepted. I was advised via phone that my insurance would be accepted for my visit. On the day of my scheduled appointment i presented my insurance card to the representative at the front desk. She made a copy of the card and advised my insurance would cover my visit. I was then advised i owed a balance of $175 after obtaining my eye exam and denied my prescription. The information provided to me was incorrect and very misleading. Since this time i have obtained another eye exam and prescription from

Everything at Institute For Total Eye Care is really good for me. He was the best eye doctor that I have ever been to. He paid all my co-pays for me when they sent me to another doctor, a specialist that I was referred to. He is really nice.

Whenever I have an appointment at the Institute for Total Eye Care, I never have to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen by the doctor. Whenever I drop off my son for his appointment, I have no doubt that he'll be fine and comfortable throughout the visit. It's clear that they care about patient care and happiness.

The Institute for Total Eye Care is a wonderful place to make a part of your normal medical routine. They keep things on time, seeing that I don't think I have ever needed to wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor. How great is that?
