A New Chapter in Your Eye Care

We’re excited to officially share that Essential Eyecare & Optical has acquired Vision Specialists of Central Florida, bringing the Longwood practice into the Essential Eyecare & Optical family.

As part of this transition, after many years of dedicated service to his patients and the Longwood community, Dr. Marc Sherman will be retiring from practice, with his last day on September 18, 2026.

We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Sherman’s years of service, dedication, and the legacy of care he has built. We wish him all the best in this exciting next chapter.

For our patients, this transition means continued personalized care with even more resources and opportunities ahead. Dr. Panesar, Dr. Wateen Alami, and Dr. Manal will continue caring for our Longwood patients as we expand services, upgrade technology, and refresh the office.

Important Dates: Our Longwood office will be closed for renovations September 21 – October 3, 2026. Vision Therapy sessions will continue as long as possible during renovations, and we will contact you directly if your appointment is affected.

We know transitions can bring questions, and our team is here for you every step of the way. We’re honored to continue the legacy of Vision Specialists of Central Florida while building an exciting future for eye care in Longwood.

Same Trusted Care. Expanded Possibilities. Exciting Future.
