With Three Locations to Serve You

About Us

A Legacy of Eye Care

You could say we’ve seen a lot of changes since St. Lucie Eye was first founded by local physician Dr. Henry Branca in 1948. 

From that humble beginning in Fort Pierce, Florida, a legacy of outstanding eye care has flourished for patients throughout St. Lucie County and along the Treasure Coast. 

Our Vision - The Golden Rule of Patient Care

When you step into one of our welcoming clinics, you’ll immediately sense the warmth and compassion that defines our practice- from friendly receptionists and insurance teams to our dedicated eye care specialists. 

Dr. Kenneth Langley stated it perfectly, “We believe in the GOLDEN RULE. Listen, put patients first, and treat others as you wish to be treated.” (See the video here)   

Our commitment to you extends beyond routine eye exams. We specialize in the ongoing management and treatment of complex eye conditions. With our expertise and personalized approach, you can trust us to guide you towards a lifetime of healthy vision.
