Meet our Doctor

Dr. Claudio Ferreira

We are pleased to announce Dr. Claudio Ferreira, M.D. has joined the Healthy Vision Institute Family as our newest Ophthalmologist. 

Dr. Ferreira’s deep rooted desire to help people came from watching his father who was an ophthalmologist.  Since then, Dr. Ferreira has continued to learn from ophthalmologists from all over the world. After studying medicine at the University of Vassouras in Brazil, he completed his chief residency at University of California Los Angeles. For the past 19 years, Dr. Ferreira has played a key role in successfully maintaining people’s healthy vision in Fort Myers. 

We are excited for him to join the team, and the exemplary care he will be able to provide to you.

Pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. Saw me right away in an emergency (lost vision in one eye while walking down street). He performed surgery and I have eyesight in that eye still.

Took care of (R) retinal detachment with no prior notice, on the spot. Later removed bothersome floaters in each eye (months apart).

He is the greatest. Personable good looking, knowledgeable and treats his patients and staff with care. Also makes going for eye injections most tolerable. Thank you for taking great care of my eyes.

He is the best retinal surgeon. I lost my eyes from bad diabetes. I could not see and would not be able to see again. Dr. Ferreira operated on my both eyes and a miracle from God happened. I can see now out of both eyes. Thank you so much Dr. F

Dr. Ferreira was wonderful and found a problem that could have terminated my life. I went to 3 other doctors and none of them came up with a diagnosis. I have a rare disease that affected my nerves and caused my eyelid to droop over my eye. He was prompt and amazingly saved my life by finding a hemangioma in my neck compressing my nerves! I am so grateful. I came from Orlando to see him and I am fascinated with him. All of my prayers to you Dr. Ferreira

I have macular degeneration; wet in one eye and dry in another eye. I have been going to Dr. Ferreira for over a year and my vision is better than when I was first diagnosed. I am only 57 years old, but was diagnosed early thankfully by Eye Centers of Florida, and most thankfully Dr. Ferreira has given me excellent care and I have 100% trust in him.
