Floaters in the vision can be troublesome. Not all need to be treated but when they do, visit fellowship trained retina surgeon Dr. Robert M. Reinauer at New Vision Eye Center in Vero Beach, FL
Vision problems can develop so gradually that we may not realize the problem until it is quite bad. I had a cataract develop rapidly (9 months) in my right eye. I could look up at a star filled sky, cover my good eye and see only one or two of the brightest stars. Dr. Tate removed the cataract and my vision cleared up immediately. I only missed one day of work and could not be happier with the results.
My experience at NVEC was extremely positive. Like most patients, I was nervous and apprehensive about having cataract surgery. Afterall, it was my eyes! However, upon arriving at the facility, I noticed how beautiful, clean and state-of-the-art it was. I was greeted by friendly and caring personnel who directed me to their technicians who guided me gently through all the various tests. I then saw Dr. Ttae who has a wonderful bedside manner. He explained what he was going to do, and even drew diagrams to help me understand my surgery. Their nurse anesthetist was very comforting explaining step by step what to expect. The day of surgery went exactly as planned. In the pre-op area, Dr. Tate came in to see me and said “we’re going to take good care of you and you’re going to love the results.” Well, Dr. Tate was absolutely right! He took wonderful care of me, and I LOVE the results. I could not be happier! I highly recommend NVEC to anyone needing cataract surgery.
Dr. Tate was wonderful! The entire staff were kind, and considerate. They made me comfortable and relaxed.
I was scared silly of cataract surgery! After the first eye was done- piece of cake! I could hardly wait to get the other eye cleared up. Dr. Tate is the most pleasant as well as highly skilled professional for his specialty of cataract surgery. The staff as kind as well as highly trained. I would recommend him, without hesitation for anyone needing cataract surgery. I am delighted to thank him for my perfect eye sight-without glasses.
I was apprehensive about my cataract surgery, as I have never had surgery in 64 years. Even though New Vision is over 40 miles from home, I decided to go for it. I was pleasantly surprised at the thoughtfulness of the staff, at their professionalism, and at their care. As for the surgery, I remember asking Dr. Tate when it would be starting…to be told it was done.
My vision has greatly improved following cataract surgery with Dr. Tate. I now only use reading glasses for the small print in the newspaper. I thank New Vision Eye Center for my distance vision.
My cataract surgery with Dr. Tate went very smoothly and I experienced no pain at all. I have been legally blind for my whole life and relied on very thick glasses and contact lenses to help me see. I can now see better than I ever have with glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Tate to anyone considering cataract surgery.
I was examined by Dr. Reinauer and it was deemed I needed immediate cataract surgery or I might lose sight in my right eye. A surgery was performed by Dr. Tate and everything turned out great. New Vision is the best.
From start to finish I can truly say that the service and care I received from Dr. Tate’s office was exceptional and pleasant. I would highly recommend cataract surgery to anyone who needs it. The end result is worth it!!!
I had cataract surgery in May 2016 because I had trouble reading the signs while driving. It was a miracle after the surgery. I could see distance again and read the newspaper without “readers”. Dr. Stephen Tate and all the staff did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable and satisfied..
A special thanks to Dr. Tate and his staff. I had cataract surgery and the results are amazing. I appreciate the care given to me. I was very nervous, but the team made me feel very comfortable. If you need surgery and are afraid, you can relax. It’s really simple and the results are wonderful.
I have worn glasses since I was about 5 years old, so severely nearsighted that I was blind without them. Then I developed glaucoma, and my eyesight got worse. From there I developed cataracts, and I was really frightened that I would lose what little sight I had. Dr. Tate at New Vision Eye Center said that he couldn’t guarantee that I would have better vision, but he would do his best. My vision is now 20/25 in my right eye and my left eye is 20/20. This truly is a miracle! I can see clearly now without glasses or contacts. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and still in shock. Dr. Tate and New Vision Eye Center have given me the ability to see with such clarity and focus without any correction – and I am forever grateful.
Dr. Reinauer surgically corrected my macular pucker, which was so successful that it has returned my vision to near normal. I am so pleased! This talented young physician is a tremendous addition to New Vision and the Treasure Coast medical community.
I have an overwhelming need to express my gratitude to you for saving my eyesight. Thank you for your skill, expertise, confidence, positive approach, reassuring words, your kindness towards my wife, and for your smiles and humor. I am so fortunate that you were there when I needed you. Dr. Reinauer, you are a sweet and wonderful man and an outstanding physician.
Dr. Reinauer, I can’t thank you enough for my vitrectomy surgery. I was apprehensive when we met, since this was my 80 year old eye and you being as young as you are, but I quickly got over that fear after our first discussion. You made me feel very at ease and comfortable. My surgery was a mere 3 weeks ago and my eyesight has improved so much, it is almost back to normal. I look forward to followups with your office, where everything is first class and professional.
My wife and I are very glad to have chosen New Vision for our eye care. The doctors and staff are all top notch. I had a condition in my left eye, vitreomacular traction, that affected my vision. I had been told by other doctors that not much could be done. Dr. Reinauer changed that! He performed surgery and my vision continues to improve!
I was a little nervous about having eye surgery but Dr. Reinauer and the entire staff at New Vision Eye Center in Vero Beach made me feel so at ease that I knew I made the right choice in doctors.For many years I had floaters in my left eye and very poor vision. Dr. Reinauer and staff were extremely kind, and he explained the corrective procedure clearly and compassionately. I am so pleased, since my surgery in April, my vision is unbelievably good. The service was exceptional; New Vision transported me to and from the surgery and to my follow up appointments. I am so grateful to Dr. Reinauer for restoring my sight.
Due to a past detached retina reparative surgery, I wanted the best possible care when I moved down to Vero Beach. I selected New Vision Eye Center. I started with Dr. Minotty and now I see their retina specialist, Dr. Reinauer. Both have taken excellent care of my aged eyes. It’s terrific to see everything as sharp and clear as when I was a young lad. I have been extremely impressed by the entire staff at New Vision, always pleasant, always taking their time to listen to my concerns. On top of everything else, they are a great supporter of the Vero Beach Community. Thank you New Vision Eye Center.
After being evaluated at another ophthalmology group in Vero Beach and being told by that doctor that he would rather not address my problem, as there was only a 50% chance of success, I opted out of having anything done. Then I read an article on Dr. Reinauer and how he has a treatment for “the cloud in the vision” that I had been experiencing. When I met with him, he made me feel that treating my condition would be a normal procedure for him, not a big deal. He operated on my left eye and from that day forward, my vision was absolutely fixed. No cloud, no blurring. I then had my right eye treated, which had a similar cloud. Again, my vision is as perfect as can be. It’s like it was in my twenties, and I’m 74. Dr. Reinauer’s attention to detail and his concern for his patient’s satisfaction seems to be foremost on his mind. If anyone has a question or concern about the services at New Vision Eye Center and Dr. Reinauer, I would be happy to discuss my experience.
Before moving to Vero Beach I had a botched cataract surgery in Ft. Myers, Florida. I heard rave reviews about New Vision Eye Center and made an appointment to see if they could correct my vision. Dr. Reinauer stated that he could use the Yag laser. My vision was finally corrected and the feeling of having a veil over my eye disappeared. I also had a problem with floaters in the same eye and a month later Dr. Reinauer performed retina surgery to remove them. What a relief, I can see perfectly now. Dr. Reinauer is an excellent surgeon. It is rare to have such a personable doctor take the time to explain everything so thoroughly. Dr. Reinauer truly cares about his patients and I highly recommend him.
I recently had eye surgery performed by Dr. Robert Reinauer at New Vision Eye Center. I highly recommend him based on the following: He explains every step of the procedure, listens to your concerns, is kind and makes one feel confident and comfortable. I am super pleased with the results of my surgery and very grateful for his expertise and the overall experience while in his care.
Dr. Reinauer’s friendly disposition combined with his excellent medical skills make him the kind of doctor everyone hopes to find. The vitrectomy Dr. Reinauer performed to eliminate my eye floaters and hazy vision went perfectly. Treasure Coast residents are fortunate to have such a gifted surgeon practicing in Vero Beach.
Dr. Reinauer performed a Vitrectomy on my left eye. He was very pleasant and thoroughly explained the procedure. Dr. Reinauer spoke to my husband after the surgery and thoroughly explained how the operation went. When you have a question he personally and promptly gets back to you. My surgery was a successful and easy experience.
Once in a lifetime if we are lucky, we encounter a teacher who is memorable for a lifetime, or a preacher, or a physician. Dr. Reinauer at New Vision Eye Center is that Physician. He is surrounded by an incredible staff and facility, the combination making for something far superior to a first-class health care experience.
Nobody should wish for retinal emergencies, but it certainly is comforting to know that right in Vero Beach, we have not only Dr. Reinauer, but the staff and facility at New Vision Eye Center — a rare reality and a memory for a lifetime.
For some time, I had floaters in my left eye. They caused difficulty in reading and my eyes tired easily. It was suggested that I could have Dr. Reinauer do surgery to remove those “floaters”. I did, and was very pleased with the results! I would recommend this surgery to anyone, and especially recommend Dr. Reinauer to perform it.
Last September my optometrist pronounced I had a detached retina. She said I needed immediate attention and suggested either Bascom Palmer or the surgical Retina Specialist at New Vision Eye Center. I chose the latter and I am so very glad that I did. From the very first meeting, I could tell that Dr. Reinauer was the right choice.
Dr. Reinauer’s expertise and professional, excellent “bedside” manner is top notch. What I really like is his dedication to his patients and his thoroughness in taking whatever time necessary to see the patient through the process. Kudos to him and to all the professional staff at New Vision!
Dr. Reinauer is a highly skilled Retinal Specialist who eliminated the floaters that I was plagued with for many years. My results were nothing short of a miracle. In addition, Dr. Reinauer could write the “how to” book on bedside manner. He is the total package in what a patient desires in a physician.
While on vacation, the retina of my left eye became detached. The physician I saw in San Juan PR coordinated with Dr. Reinauer to schedule the surgical correction I would require. Dr. Reinauer opened the office on Saturday to examine me at 7:00 am and was operating on me by 9:00 am. The coordination with the physician in Puerto Rico and Dr. Reinauer was exceptional. World class care of this magnitude is hard to come by, especially these days.
I required emergency retina surgery to save my vision. I was very nervous but because of Dr. Reinauer’s warm personality and professionalism, I was totally relaxed. Not only was the surgery a success but the follow up care was magnificent.in what a patient desires in a physician.
Before I met Dr. Reinauer, I was told surgery to correct my condition had a low probability of success and that I would have travel far to find a qualified surgeon. Dr. Reinauer changed all of that by surgically correcting my macular pucker. He’s a skilled physician and a warm and caring human being. New Vision made the entire process comfortable and convenient.
I want to thank Dr. Reinauer and staff for their caring treatment to correct my visual problems. Your explanations to my questions were thorough and complete. You explained what needed to be done and you did so with superior care and success.
After living with floaters, blurry vision, and headaches for many years, a friend referred me to Dr. Reinauer. I was afraid to have surgery but after meeting Dr. Reinauer, I felt confident that he could help me. It was the best decision I have ever made. I now have clear vision and no more headaches.
I first met Dr. Reinauer on a Friday afternoon and to my surprise I had a detached retina. Dr. Reinauer was such a blessing, working until late into the evening to save my sight. My surgery was very successful and the follow up was great. Six months later, this special doctor called me out of the blue to see how I was doing. I have never had a doctor do this – he is a very caring person. I have since had a second surgery to remove the floaters in my vision that I thought nothing could be done about. Thanks to Dr. Reinauer, I am 74 years young and can see perfectly.
I have been a patient for over two years and have had various procedures. All of the doctors and staff are great. Recently, I was referred to Dr. Reinauer for floaters in my vision. He was very sympathetic to my issues and answered all of my questions. He assured me he could correct my visual problems. On the day of surgery, the staff was very kind and patient which put me at complete ease. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Reinauer and his staff. My only wish is that I had come to see him sooner. The entire staff is the best in the world.
I am so happy with my new eyesight! I had large floaters that completely interfered with my vision. I was having such a difficult time. Dr. Reinauer assured me that he could remove the floaters and I felt confident in his abilities. The whole staff made me feel comfortable and I had absolutely no fear as I went into surgery. The day after the procedure, my sight was as clear as could be. Today, I have 20/20 vision. The whole experience was a joy!
I accompanied my wife on her appointment with Dr. Reinauer and took the opportunity to ask him if he could do anything about the floaters in my vision. His answer was yes! Dr. Reinauer examined me and told me that my floaters were among the worst he had ever seen. The care and concern during pre-op really put me at ease. The procedure did not take very long and I experienced no pain at all. Now, I no longer have floaters, and actually have clear vision for the first time in a long time! My vision in that eye is now 20/20. I would recommend Dr. Reinauer to any and all who have this condition.
I was nervous to have surgery until Dr. Reinauer explained everything to me in depth, quelling my fears. The technicians, nurses, and staff were all very courteous and professional.
I have nothing but positive words to say about my experience with New Vision Eye Center. Dr. Reinauer’s professionalism and talent is beyond compare. I had a painless procedure one day and the next day I no longer experience the floaters that were bothersome for years. I literally have a new outlook on life.
The results of my floater removal procedure is just awesome. I have totally clear vision. Dr. Reinauer is terrific.
For years I was told by physicians here and in New Jersey that there wasn’t anything that could correct the floaters and large clouds across my vision, that it was just part of the aging process. Then I met with Dr. Robert Reinauer. He performed a vitrectomy on both of my eyes. All I can say is that I want to tap dance with joy at the results of this procedure. I didn’t realize how badly my vision was impaired. God bless you Dr. Reinauer.
My current optometrist recommended I consult with Dr. Reinauer about my floaters. He instilled hope and faith that he could remove the floaters. I continue to be amazed and thankful for the unbelievable results.
No floaters! Wow! I had been dealing with severe floaters for about twenty years, and every ophthalmologist I saw told me there was nothing to do for them. I heard Dr. Reinauer was doing wonderful things with floater removal, so I contacted him and it was the best decision I ever made. There was no pain or discomfort during or after the procedure. I am floater free and have a ‘new look’ on life!
I was so nervous thinking of anyone messing with my eyes, but Dr. Reinauer and his staff made the whole experience worth while. It was a piece of cake, so for anyone considering this procedure, please trust that Dr. Reinauer and his staff will answer any and all questions you may have and make you very comfortable.
Dr. Reinauer’s expert and prompt treatment of my detached retina probably saved my eye sight in my left eye. His superior and professional care during the first few days of my recovery was exemplified by him seeing me on a Saturday morning even though the office was closed. I would highly recommend Dr. Reinauer to anyone needing treatment of retina related eye problems.
We are so lucky to have Dr. Reinauer working in Vero Beach. There aren’t many ophthalmologists trained to remove floaters. We are also lucky to have New Vision Eye Center, where patients are treated kindly and with respect. Dr. Reinauer patiently explained every step of the procedure, and the removal of my floater went smoothly and with no surprises. I am so glad I found Dr. Reinauer!
My eye floaters are a thing of the past. Dr. Reinauer’s assurance that they could be removed was performed with complete success and minimal discomfort. Him and his staff were very efficient, courteous and professional. I highly recommend this procedure if you have any discomfort from eye floaters.
I am so grateful for Dr. Reinauer and the staff of New Vision. Dr. Reinauer is so skilled and kind and takes all the time I need to explain what is to take place, answering all of my questions. When I had a detached retina, I got in to see the doctor right away and the surgery went very smoothly. The follow-up appointments have all gone well too. I never have to wait and the nurses are so efficient and caring. Thank you Dr. Reinauer for saving my vision!
For over 50 years I have been bothered by floaters in my left eye, but have always been told that there was nothing that could be done about them. I made an appointment with Dr. Reinauer who performed a vitrectomy on both of my eyes. I feel like my life has changed since these procedures… I can now see clearly, and have no more “spots” before my eyes. Dr. Reinauer and his staff are caring and professional. I couldn’t be more pleased with my care. Vero Beach is very fortunate to have such a skilled professional!
A vitrectomy sounds scary-Dr. Reinauer makes it easy. I’d lived with a grey area in my vision for months and it is great to have it gone. Dr. Reinauer and his staff are professional, courteous, and friendly. The procedure was a snap, Dr. Reinauer guided me through aftercare with no problem.
Having the floaters removed from both eyes by Dr. Reinauer was the most fantastic surprise this year! What an amazing difference in the clarity of vision. Dr. Reinauer and his staff were very nice-making me feel calm confident in the procedure. I would do it again!
When my eye doctor told me about Dr. Reinauer’s procedure to remove floaters, I immediately called for a consultation. After speaking with him I decided to have the surgery. I am very happy with the results. My eye sight is clearer and brighter. Colors are more vibrant. I am one happy patient and highly recommend Dr. Reinauer.
After reading an article about a procedure called vitrectomy, I went to see Dr. Reinauer to answer my many questions. He convinced me that my decision to have the surgery on both eyes would be the correct one. I signed up for the procedure. As far as my eyes are concerned, this was the best decision I have made in a long time. The floaters have completely disappeared. I will have my eyes tested for new glasses and I will be a new man!
As a physician, I did not take vitrectomy surgery lightly since excellent vision is critical to my work. Dr. Reinauer was outstanding in his performance of the procedure which was painless and without complication, resulting in clear floater free vision… Dr. Reinauer’s support colleagues and staff were efficient, kind and courteous. I can highly recommend Dr. Reinauer to anyone considering vitrectomy surgery.
Many doctors are blessed with excellent medical skills. Not all doctors have the medical skills coupled with the people skills. Dr. Robert Reinauer has the combination. His surgical skills as a retina specialist are amazing, but he also gives his patients undivided attention, invites questions, and makes patients feel special. I highly recommend Dr. Reinauer for surgeries involving the vitreous humor or retina.
I had large floaters in my right eye which caused me major issues when trying to read. I thought I would have to live with them, but Dr. O’Brien told me they could be removed, and referred me to Dr. Reinauer who addressed my concerns and put me at ease about the surgery. His staff in both the office and surgery center were kind and patient with me. I’m ecstatic about the results and I’m very grateful to have met this warm, compassionate, and caring doctor.
I developed a problem with floaters, which were driving me crazy. Not sure anything could be done to correct them, I made an appointment with Dr. Reinauer. After a complete exam, he said he could help. Still skeptical, I agreed to the procedure and the floaters are gone! Dr. Reinauer was understanding, compassionate, and highly skilled. I recommend him to anyone suffering as I was.
On the afternoon of 9/5/17 I suddenly went blind in my right eye. I was diagnosed with a detached retina and sent to New Vision where I first met Dr. Reinauer, a retina specialist. I was taken in without an appointment or being their patient. I was scheduled for surgery the very next morning. Post op instructions were made very specific, and the entire staff was caring and supportive. On 11/19/17 I had my full sight back. Amazing! I say thank you to Dr. Reinauer and the entire staff at New Vision Eye Center.
