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.

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.

I have known Dr. Polack for over 15 years. I can't say how great full I am for his care, compassion and guidance on the health of my eyes. He's not only my optimalogist but a friend.
We came into the exam room took a walk at My Eye and gave more information to his assistant than he did to me. Then he told me I would have to see the Doctor Who performed my cataract surgery and never explain to me why he couldn’t do the exam instead of her. I love them very little information how many to be given An appointment with Dr. Armstrong during which I was charged $60 for a refraction which I don’t believe I need it
A friend recommended Dr. Polack to me when I was having problems with my vision. She said he was excellent, and she was right. He gave me his diagnosis, which was bad, but he then explained what he could do to make it better. He recommended his treatment plan, gave me options and patiently answered all my questions. I feel comfortable that my upcoming surgery will be safe & successful.
Very impressed and confident that he is thorough and highly capable, plus highly recommended. I fully expect the best outcome in his hands.
Active, caring, listener. Answers questions concisely and directly.
Always answers questions. I have an eye condition and trust him to handle.
One of the most knowledgeable,patient and caring doctors I have ever met. Would have been difficult getting through everything without him. 5 Stars!🙏🏻
Outstanding Doctor. Noticed a dark spot on one of my images that warrants monitoring in 6 months. Follow up appointment scheduled. Thank you. L Steadman
I researched at least 10 doctors on the internet before deciding which doctor i would chose, I'm 100% glad that I chose Dr. Polack. Everything review that I were right on the money from. Dr Polack to the receptionist, techs, eyeware dept. I highly recommend Ocala Eye it was a true pleasure going there.
