About Us

We are a full scope Optometric Practice dedicated to providing the highest quality vision care to children and adults in a friendly, comfortable and professional atmosphere.

Because your eyes have to last your entire life, we strive to achieve the best results for patients every day. This was the vision Dr. Kevin G. Brooks had when he founded Gulf Coast Optometry in 2005 with 3 offices in Florida. Since then, our team has experienced remarkable growth and has 50+ offices in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio. This growth inspired our new name, Global Care Optometry. Our independent optometric offices are located inside select Eyeglass World, where we currently provide exceptional care for our patients.

Global Care Optometry has an outstanding Executive Team constantly working to ensure our Optometrists have everything they need to care for all of our patients. Our doctors will consult with each individual patient to form a tailored treatment plan for their vision. We are excited about our vision and the direction Global Care Optometry is heading and we hope you will entrust us with your precious sense of sight.
