Wilmington Eye’s Exceptional Vision Care at Brunswick Forest in Leland

Wilmington Eye at Brunswick Forest is our newest and largest office, located in Leland off Highway 17, right next to the Brunswick Forest community. Here we offer the same comprehensive vision care we are known for in Wilmington, with improved access for Leland residents. Since its opening in November of 2022, Leland residents are no longer required to cross the bridge into Wilmington to access high-quality vision care!

Including over sixteen active exam rooms, with plans to equip the few remaining open rooms, Wilmington Eye at Brunswick Forest offers a full range of optometry and ophthalmic care. Services include comprehensive ophthalmology, surgical consults, preventative eye care, cataract evaluations, oculoplastic surgery consults, noninvasive cosmetic treatments, routine eye exams, dry eye treatments, optical services and more.

One thing that sets this location apart from others is our participation in Wilmington Eye’s first clinical trial, an ophthalmic study on Dry Eye Disease Research. Our call center also resides in this office, ensuring clear and consistent communication for all current and new patients across all Wilmington Eye locations.

Not only is this one of our largest offices, it is also the largest full-service optical shop in Leland. If you’re in the market for new glasses (prescription, non-prescription, or sunglasses), this is a great place to shop for both affordable and designer options.
