Services
Meet the experienced and friendly eye doctors that make the Cape Fear Eye Institute the leading provider of eye care services in the Wilmington area. Dr. Fanelli has over 25 years of experience in the fields of glaucoma and ocular disease. He has lectured to his colleagues around the world and has published countless articles in educational magazines.
The InfantSEE(R) program is a first-of-its kind public health promotion through the American Optometric Association. This program offers a complimentary eye assessment to children of the age six to twelve months. Vision plays a major role in infant development, and any family history of eye disease or the need for any family member to wear glasses are excellent reasons to have your baby's eyes examined.
Are you a candidate for a specialty contact lens? While most patients are able to wear traditional soft contact lenses, not everyone is so lucky. We treat patients with high astigmatism, keratoconus and other ectasias, corneal transplants, irregular corneas, ocular surface disease, and other conditions which benefit from specialty contact lens wear.
We at the Cape Fear Eye Institute are fortunate to have the experience to answer your questions. Melody and Tommy can work with you to find the right glasses for the right occasion. They will help you make your choices so you look your best. Tommy had these goggles made up for his adventures on his 4-wheeler.

EDIT- After one bad experience with the front desk staff, I came back 1 year later to see Dr. Casper (who is just really wonderful, enough to overlook any issues I had in the past). The front desk coordinator, Betty, came to address me personally about my previous experience. I appreciate her wanting to know what happened. At the time last year I was in extreme pain and felt like I didn't get help on a Fri afternoon. She assured me, she likes to know whenever she can help and any issues at the practice.
Today, I received excellent care, not only for my eye, but from the rest of the staff as well

I had an eye emergency and being from out of town I was hesitant but from the front desk to the nurses and Dr. Casper, they all went beyond to help me out, get me in right away and continue to check up on me each day for several days later. I have never experienced such great care at any Drs office ever in my life. I am super grateful to you all and for sure when I am back I will 100% use you all for my exams and eye care! Thank you, Stephani from Charlotte.

My experience with Dr. Finelli has been fine, but the office management has been subpar. On my visit last year, there was a snafu on filing insurance and I ended up having to pay hundreds of dollars instead of a $12 copay. Today when I went for my 3 pm appointment, I arrived 10 minutes early and waited until 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment and still was not close to being called back for the appointment. I left. I do not recommend this practice.
