OUR FOUNDATION

Putting Patients First Since 2013

Lake Nona Ophthalmology is a unique, patient-first practice founded on the core principles of compassion, community, and cutting-edge care. Our modern and innovative practice offers comprehensive medical and surgical eyecare, as well as a full service medical spa providing a sophisticated, team-based approach to facial rejuvenation.

Eye Care at Lake Nona Ophthalmology provides the latest array of diagnostic and therapeutic tools to manage many eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, as well as droopy eyelids.

Med Spa at Lake Nona Ophthalmology offers a personalized, patient-first, medical spa providing a wide range of non-invasive aesthetic procedures, such as facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, such as IPL and hair reduction, and cosmetic injectables, such as Botox, Juvederm, and Kybella. Our ultimate focus is to highlight each person’s true beauty using the latest technology and techniques.

We employ a sophisticated, team-based approach to medical and surgical eyecare and facial rejuvenation. As leaders in ophthalmology for southeast Orlando, Lake Nona and the surrounding regions, our team of board certified experts is committed to providing the very best care possible to every patient.

As a community leader, educator, researcher and speaker, Dr. Patel and the staff at Lake Nona Ophthalmology have dedicated their careers to providing world-class care in a warm, patient-first environment.

Lake Nona Ophthalmology offers comprehensive medical and surgical eyecare and med spa services to patients in Central Florida including Lake Nona, Orlando, Lee Vista, Avalon Park, Waterford Lakes, Southeast Orlando, St. Cloud, Kissimmee and Northern Osceola county.

COMPASSION

Treat every patient with dignity, respect, personal attention, and ethics.

We strongly believe that it is a privilege to take part in one’s eyecare and facial wellness; it is our goal to extend a boutique-like feel to every patient, because that’s how we would want our family to be treated.

COMMUNITY

Actively engage efforts to give back to our local community.

Our goal is to set deep roots in our local community by giving back; whether we’re mentoring high school students interested in healthcare, teaching medical students at UCF, or participating in local health fairs and other charitable events.

CUTTING-EDGE CARE

Treat every patient with dignity, respect, personal attention, and ethics.

I had a really great experience. The office is beautiful and very clean. The staff were all very kind and professional. Dr. Ahmed was very friendly, funny, and made me feel immediately comfortable. He did a fantastic job explaining things to me in a way I could understand. I highly recommend him!

Lake Nona ophthalmology is excellent! Had both eyes cataract surgery with Dr. Payel and I highly recommend.

I am elated with the care my mother received from Dr. Ahmed and staff today. We needed additional assistance transferring my mother from her wheelchair to and from the examination chair. Both the doctor and another staff member transferred her. The treatment Dr. Ahmed prescribed is conservative and more agreeable than her previous ophthalmologist’s recommendations. The office staff is top-notch, too. They were exceedingly kind, gracious and generous with us at every turn, especially after a stressful afternoon. I am relieved to feel positively about my mom’s optical care going forward. Thank you, Dr. Ahmed and staff, for the best-in-class care!
