Dr. Gary I. Markowitz founded the Delaware Eye Care Center in 1984. His skill as a cataract surgeon and commitment to transforming the way people see granted him and the practice national recognition. Dr. Markowitz was the first cataract surgeon in Delaware to implant a Restor multifocal intraocular lens and one of the first doctors to perform Laser Vision Correction in the state.
Delaware Eye Care Center works for you. From the services we offer to the surgical procedures we perform, our practice centers around finding ways in which we can best serve our patients, both new and existing. Providing you with complete care is our top priority. That is, walking alongside you and your loved ones every step of the way - consultation, diagnosis, treatment, restoration.
A cataract is the clouding effect on a person's natural eye lens. These natural lenses work much like a camera, making it possible for us to focus on objects and process what we're seeing. When cataracts form, the eye's ability to focus on the objects before them decreases. Is surgery necessary? Surgery is only recommended if your cataract(s) is presenting problems with daily activities such as reading or driving. Learn more about cataract surgery at Delaware Eye Care Center. Find out if you're a candidate, take our Cataract Surgery Self-Test.
The retina is light-sensitive tissue that lines the back interior of the eye. This tissue is responsible for turning light into signal for the brain which, ultimately, results in the images we see. Retinal tears occur when the vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills the middle of our eye, pulls hard against the retina, lifting it off the back of the eye.

My appointment started on time. To be clear my appointment was for 3 pm. I walked in at 2:45 pm and checked in at their kiosk in less than 5 minutes. By 3 pm I was already called, in an examination room and doing the preliminaries. The staff member working with me was polite and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and explained everything he was doing.
When the Ophthalmologist came in we went over my test results and she did her own examination. The reference material given was clear and she was very helpful in recommending where to get some of the eye care products I needed, even giving coupons. I have no complaints.

Almost entirely new staff since the last time I visited in late 2019. Very clean inside, huge selection of glasses frames for men and women, and short wait time to be seen. Staff was knowledgeable about my visit history, based on notes taken by previous staff and doctors. However, I cannot give 5 stars because of the 45 minute wait in eye dilation after an 830am appointment.

My whole experience at Delaware Eye Care Center was wonderful. I felt that they really cared about my eyes and me. Amanda (the Tech) to Dr. Misty Wrap was thorough and kind. She made sure I knew what she was doing and why. Dr. Wrap looked for the medical things like glacoma, cataracts, and other important problems that could pop up. Afterwards she explained her observations and recommendations. I am pleased with my visit and will continue with this practice.

Only 1 star today for Delaware Eye Care: My Post 1 year surgical appt took 16 months to get. Checking in at arrival is via a Kiosk and the information they require is the same information I reviewed and confirmed when I received my reminder/confirmation SMS. The DR I saw did not pretend he was sorry he kept me waiting. He also recommended a Dr, to me for a surgical procedure, and made a statement about that Dr that are untrue. Time to find a new eye dr.

My child and I actually liked this location better, we were pouting because we had to drive more than 30 minutes to get there unlike 5 minutes to our home location. Service was prompt and pleasant, all smiles on the drive back . The chairs in the waiting area are not the best in sanitary terms for all my germophobes, I'm sure that will be addressed.

I love the self check-in process, easiest thus far. Office staff very friendly and helpful. As well as the optics center. I received such a thorough eye exam. Every single step was explained and why it was being done. For years I had no idea what was being done or why. Truly hope things stay this way. Definitely a different experience from past visits. The staff seemed to be able to focus and give quality care due to not being over burdened.

Wait time was always super long! I have been wearing contacts for 15+ years. All of a sudden I get a new doctor to look at me and he says he won't write me a new prescription for contacts and that I have to wear glasses from now on. He said it's that or I go to a different doctor. Well I went to a completely new place and now I'm so much happier. I won't name this great new eye doctor center, But little to no wait time. Great doctors who care. And I got my contacts. Never going my back to Delaware eye care again!
