Peter J. Polack, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a fellowship-trained specialist in refractive surgery, cornea and external diseases. As a cataract surgeon in Ocala, his primary interests are premium cataract surgery and diseases and surgery of the cornea, including sutureless cornea transplants utilizing the DMEK/DSAEK method, LASIK, and Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). Dr. Polack is a LASIK patient himself, having undergone the procedure in May 2000.
Utilizing the latest techniques and technologies of customized laser vision cataract care, Dr. Polack gives his cataract patients an opportunity to restore youthful vision and gain freedom from glasses and contact lenses. He also receives referrals from other ophthalmologists for more complex cases such as laser vision cataract surgery patients who have undergone previous refractive surgery.
Dr. Polack joined Ocala Eye in August of 1996. He is a graduate of Stetson University and the University of South Florida College of Medicine. After completing an internship at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, he was awarded the Dyson Foundation Research Fellowship at Cornell University Medical College. Dr. Polack then returned to Florida for a year, studying corneal diseases with his father, Frank M. Polack, M.D., an internationally-known cornea specialist. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary where he was a chief resident. Following his residency, he obtained a cornea and refractive surgery fellowship at the University of South Florida under J. James Rowsey, M.D., a pioneer in refractive surgery.
Dr. Polack is a diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners and is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American College of Surgeons, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the International Society of Refractive Surgery, and other international cornea societies. Dr. Polack has lectured on corneal diseases and has taught courses on corneal transplant surgery to other ophthalmologists. In addition to publishing several articles, abstracts, and papers, he has co-authored ophthalmology textbooks.

He is very careful and explains everything that is happening to your eyes. He cares and is very thoughtful.
Dr Polack has done a great job treating my dry eye syndrome. I am thankful for him and amazing stafg
My main complaint about Dr. Polack is he doesn’t sit and state what he’s going to do. I had a procedure done today and was never informed that it was going to be done on this visit as well as signing a consent form after the appointment was done. It always feels very rushed once he’s in the room.
