Why Our Carolina Shores Location Is Unique

As we continue to grow and work towards expanding access to advanced vision care, there are a few unique factors about this location that help us provide such optimal care with a small, yet dedicated team! To accommodate our specialized team of dedicated providers and support staff, our Carolina Shores office closes daily for lunch from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m., except on Fridays when we close at 2:00 p.m. Often, doctors will still see patients later Fridays for pre-schedule appointments, depending on availability. We also welcome walk-ins. Regardless of these unique hours, patients can still reach a Wilmington Eye team member outside of business hours by contacting our main line at 910-763-3601.
