HOW IT BEGAN

The practice’s story

West Broward Eyecare Associates is a single-office practice on North University Drive in Tamarac, and it has served the area for more than three decades. Its optometrists provide thorough eye exams for children and adults, and patients come from nearby communities including Parkland and Coral Springs.

The practice is especially dedicated to contact lenses that help control myopia in children (orthokeratology), and it reports being one of the first practices in the United States to use the S-Map for custom scleral lenses, which are used for conditions such as keratoconus. Its optical carries children’s glasses alongside designer frames and sunglasses.
