Center For Sight in Punta Gorda – A Timeline
1991 – Our Humble Beginnings
Dr. Todd Lang first opened his doors in September of 1991. We were a modest, yet enthusiastic team in a small, 4-room office located on Mary Street, and owned by the Punta Gorda Medical Center Hospital.
1996 – Our Growth
After 5 years of experiences and growth, we relocated to our current location at 314 Tamiami Trail, making Center For Sight in Punta Gorda one of the most established eye care centers in Punta Gorda.
Today – Our Success Is Because of You
Center For Sight in Punta Gorda is thriving and it is wholly due to our wonderful community, its residents, our valued patients, our welcoming staff, and our amazing team of eye care professionals. We thank everyone for their loyalty and feel privileged to continue to serve the Punta Gorda area.
