Dr Barnard saved my vision. I cannot thank him enough! The first week of January I suffered a pretty horrific eye injury playing Dek Hockey. I was struck directly in my left eye by a hard plastic ball traveling at 30-40mph. I was immediately blind in my left eye as it filled with blood. I went to the ER at ORMC it was determined by CT scan that I had a 5mm tear on my eyeball on the back side. The ophthalmologist on call came in and repaired my torn eye. He referred me to a retina specialist and I found Dr Barnard. He saw me right away and recommended surgery to clean the blood from inside my eye as the concern was that my retina may have been detached and there was no way to tell since the eye was filled with blood. Dr Barnard cleaned the blood and determined my retina was not detached but needed a little laser treatment to prevent a detachment. I visited him yesterday and my Vision is 20/25 in an eye that I was blind in when I first saw him. He’s truly a miracle worker. Dr Barnard saved my vision. I cannot thank him enough!

Dr. Thomas Barnard’s persistence, patience, and professional skill, particularly at surgery, are continuing to make substantial progress with my left eye’s retinal issues (severe internal retinal swelling caused by clotting in a branch retinal blood vessel that began several years ago). I had almost given up hope that I would ever regain depth perception. Just before Dr. Barnard’s critical surgery (vitrectomy with an EpiRetinal Membrane peel), Eylea gave no improvement. After Dr. Barnard’s surgery and several more injections, Eylea has regained traction. Depth perception has noticeably improved. Although I still can’t read through my left eye, that may now be an achievable goal, thanks to Dr. Barnard, unlike several prior doctors, who denied or never offered surgery. The results speak for themselves.

Referred to the dr. by another dr. who had detached my retina with a laser. Dr. Barnard repaired the fully detached retina but caused my eyesight in the right eye to become permanently distorted (where I can see long distance clearly with reading glasses which is not normal).

Dr. Barnard has my full confidence. He is professional and knowledgeable.

An Excellent physician, recommend to all.

First referred to Florida Retina Institute over 4 years ago due to WMD. The doctors and staff have been extraordinarily committed to careful, thoughtful diagnosis and treatment. And taken the time, when asked to explain clearly ad to answer questions. Due to insurance problems, I ended up at a different retina specialist for a year that seemed to run their practice more like a billing factory for insurance plans than a healthcare organization for patients. I've been back with Florida Retina Institute for a couple of years now, and continue to be very impressed with their professionalism and patient care.

First visit Dr Barnard never took time to talk to me about past procedures. My 2nd visit today is my last. He didn't want to examine me nor did he read my chart to know I had questions. He got upset and in discuss walked out ssysay "I guess I have to exam you". I will not ever go back as my eyes can't be replaced and as I've been having injections since 2006 I know I was having issues. How can a doctor inject your eye without examination first.

Excellent Doctor Highly recommended.

An excellent doctor with caring and patience. He explained my husband's condition in details and also left us hope that one day my husband's vision could be better after the oil is removed. After so many unsuccessful surgeries, I think as patients, we want to learn not only the facts, but the hope even though a small hope. Thank you Dr. Barnard for your understanding!

Dr. Barnard and staff, from the front desk to all the assistants are top notch, wonderful , dedicated people. My husband is a patient of Dr. Barnards and was very frightened to learn that he has macular degeneration but with the first visit Dr. Barnard put him at ease and explained the treatment and his best expectations of the treatment. He's doing very well and trusts Dr. Barnard 1000 %.

Dr Barnard is professional, compassionate, and thorough. He has performed one emergency retina surgery, and a follow up surgery to remove scar tissue on my right eye. He informed me every step of the way, and of course I was freaking out thinking of having someone poking around in my eye. He was very reassuring and made me feel that all would be ok, and it was. He also performed a procedure on my husband and he feels the same way about Dr. Barnard. His staff is also has the same qualities.

So caring and kind. Explains everything he is doing. Highly recommend.

Dr Bernard and staff are by far the best group I have encountered . They are caring and Dr Bernard is really great with answering questions and explaining procedures. I'm blessed to have found him .

Dr. Barnard.....although quiet this man is good, very good. I am on vacation in rural North Carolina and had to go to another Doctor for my wet mac. degeneration condition, and what a difference. Severe stinging in the eye for hours later, a bloody eye, etc., etc. This never happened after treatments with Dr. Barnard. Everyone had told me that he was good and the best individual for this condition, and today proved it to me, with no doubt. Highly recommended.. I.S.K.Reeves V

Dr Barnard is very knowledgeable and kind. The Titusville office is efficient and assistants are nice and work well together.

Recently I found out that I had macular edema brought on by diabetes. I was referred to the Florida Retina Institute and was seen by Dr Thomas Barnard. I found him to be the type of doctor I prefer, relaxed, and friendly, but. direct. He was able to show me images of the damage and clearly explained my condition and consequences. Sucessful laser surgery was performed two days later. Cataract surgery may be necessary a few years down the road and this is the doctor I intend to use.

The office was efficient and there was very little downtown waiting to be seen. Dr. Barnard answered all of my questions.

I began visiting Dr. Barnard about two and half years ago for retinopathy in both eyes. He has taken great care to properly assess my condition and make suggestion as how to treat it. Eyes are so very important and the care given is critical to maintaining good eye sight. Having said that, trust is of paramount importance. And I trust Dr. Barnard. He and his staff are professional and caring and I know I am getting excellent care. And I highly recommend him,

Caring, sensitive to patient's anxiety, gentle touch with injections, explains condition.

I was an emergency referal and got an appointment within 3 days. Dr Bernard examined me and ordered further tests which were done promptly and in a highly professional manner. The diagnosis was made and treatment started. I was very impressed by Dr Bernard and his staff.

Dr.Barnard and his staff have have a very efficient and well organized operation. Dr. Barnard knew that I am a physician, and I think he gave me more information and explanation about my problem than I think the average patient receives. This was much appreciated. I was very impressed with Dr. Barnard's staff, especially Mike. It was a fine experience.

This was my first visit to the office and Dr. Barnard was so kind and put me at ease. He explained a very serious situation in easy to understand terms and made me feel I was at the right place with the right person to get the help I needed. The whole staff - his team was outstanding. I am so very happy my doctor referred me to Dr. Barnard. Very very pleased with him and have full trust going forward with my treatment.

I HAVE BEEN SEEING YES SEEING DR. BARNARD FOR DIABETIC EYE CARE FOR MANY YEARS AND I DO BELIEVE THAT I MAY HAVE LOSS MY SIGHT WITHOUT HIS CARE. MANY THANKS !!!!

I'm a new patient and was pleasantly surprised with the staff and Dr. Bernard. Came for appointment on wrong date and they were still able and willing to fit me in and they didn't seem to be put out in the least. My eyesight is very important to me and obviously to Dr. Bernard and the Titusville Staff. Cynthia .

A handful of years ago, I had a very serious retina detachment at the age of 50. Dr. Barnard was by my side the entire way, as I went through 6 retina repairs, a lens implant, and subsequently a cornea transplant. He is a very skilled surgeon, and very reassuring, always doing his best to improve the vision of each and every patient he sees. After several years, I still go back for check ups and Dr. Barnard is always happy to consult on my vision. The staff is great too!!

I had a detached Retina. Dr Barnard and his staff made my operation and recovery an absolute success. I could not recommend a Doctor/Surgeon higher.
