About Me
Dr. Eric Areiter is a board-certified ophthalmologist who focuses on cataract, refractive, and glaucoma care. He has performed tens of thousands of procedures and is known for combining advanced technology with an easy, down-to-earth style that helps patients feel informed and comfortable. Patients see him for laser vision correction, premium cataract options, and solutions that address both vision quality and long-term eye health.
Originally from Long Island, Dr. Areiter studied neurobiology at Cornell University and earned his medical degree at the University of Virginia. He completed internship at Tufts and ophthalmology residency at Tulane, where he logged one of the highest resident surgical volumes in LASIK and cataracts. He later helped build a comprehensive ophthalmology service in Texas and became an early high-volume adopter of Light Adjustable Lenses in Florida. Today, he brings that experience to patients seeking clear vision with personalized surgical plans, including cases that combine cataract and glaucoma management.
