Space Coast Ophthalmology
As an ophthalmologist, my staff and I offer comprehensive and surgical eye care for the whole family. We strive to offer sophisticated and compassionate care to all of our patients. We treat our patients as we ourselves would like to be treated. Waiting times are minimized and we take same-day emergencies and have no endless voice mail prompts when you call.

We take time to explain your eye condition and are always available for questions.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye; cataract surgery is performed to improve vision by replacing the clouded lens with an artificial one. Cataracts affect millions of people in the United States each year. Most cataracts are the result of aging, though some form as a result of genetic factors, disease or injury.
I recently had cataract surgeries done on both eyes, Dr. Pefkaros performed the procedures. Now I have 20/20 vision! Thank you Dr. Pefkaros for giving me my vision back! No more contacts nor glasses. You are an awesome surgeon, and your staff is excellent too! Courteous, kind, patient, and very helpful.

A very personable and friendly staff that will acknowledge upon arrival. They are very thorough with the pretest. The doctors, I've seen two, are very extensive in their follow-up. They can talk to you about contact wear and glasses.
The followup after the appointment is also very friendly and efficient.

Was able to get a quick appointment after not having an eye exam for 2 years. Very caring and knowledgeable staff. Super informative through the entire process. Happy to know my eye sight hasn’t changed much over the years 🙌🏻

Outstanding service from staff and physicians. State of the art diagnostic equipment and testing procedures. Physicians took their time with exam and explained procedures as well as their diagnosis. Staff was friendly...caring..and professional. The Viera office was magnificent. I would highly recommend this group to anyone in need of eye care.

Awesome staff. fast friendly service. I am newly single and need to be able to clearly see any future prospects. I'm sure glad I can see clearly now. That young lady optician Julie (very cute but way too young for me) got me all fitted and seeing clearly and comfortably. I will be returning as needed as I have clearly found a home for my eyes.

Dr. P is the best and they have the nicest staff here. They never fail to take care of my family and have always been quick to respond. Well worth the drive for us. We can't wait until they expand into Viera area. 5 stars, n stuff!
