Richard Davis, MD

Board-Certified Ophthalmologist

Dr. Richard Davis has been an integral part of the Fort Myers community for more than three decades. In 1975, Dr. Davis opened South Fort Myers Eye Care and Cataract Center in a thriving part of South Fort Myers, and the rest, as they say, is history. His soft-spoken demeanor and the ability to relate to his patients in a calm and caring manner have made Dr. Davis one of the most successful ophthalmologists in Southwest Florida.

Dr. Richard Davis is a graduate of Adelphi University, B.A. Magna Cum Laude, and a graduate of New York Medical College, which included a surgical internship.

He completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of California, Davis, Ca. Society memberships include the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Florida Society of Ophthalmology, American Medical Association, Florida Medical Association, Lee County Medical Society, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society.

In January 2010, the Snead Eye Group acquired South Fort Myers Eye Care and Cataract Center. This allowed Dr. Richard Davis to reduce his surgery and work schedule and enjoy more time traveling and being with his family.

Dr. Richard Davis is still active in the clinic, accepting new patients and caring for those who have been with him for many years. He maintains regular office hours three days a week. Snead Eye Group is delighted to have Dr. Richard Davis as an associate physician and colleague.

I continue to be impressed by Snead Eye Group! My initial visit was an emergency and the staff scheduled me immediately. The second visit was a re-check, and it was quick and efficient. My third visit was an eye exam. The technician modified her exam to meet the needs of my sensitive eyes. This is a group of hardworking and caring individuals!

This was the best experience I have ever had at an eye appointment! The staff is super caring and listens. The doctor was great and thorough. The selection of frames was great and the consultant, Heather, was knowledgeable and not pushy. I would highly recommend!

Crystal Hogan

From my first appointment, Snead Eye Group had a very pleasant office and was so professional! I was worried because my doctors were all from Connecticut, and they were all excellent. But I hit the jackpot with the Snead Eye Group. They are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on their education to be beyond current! They get 10 stars from my husband and myself!
