Vinay Gutti, M.D.

Board-Certified in Ophthalmology

Dr. Vinay Gutti is a board-certified ophthalmologist who practices comprehensive eye care at Eyemax Vision Center in Tavares. He specializes in cataract, corneal, and refractive (LASIK) surgery.

Dr. Gutti believes in personalized, patientcentered care, and his motto is to treat all of his patients as if they were family members.

Dr. Gutti grew up in the central Pennsylvania town of State College where Penn State University is located. He had the opportunity to spend time on the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast during his extensive training. Dr. Gutti’s clinical interests focus on cataract surgery and premium lens implantation including Crystalens HD, Alcon Toric IOL, ReStor IOL, and Tecnis Multifocal IOL.

He also has surgical expertise in advanced corneal transplantation techniques, specifically femtosecond laser-enabled keratoplasty (laserassisted corneal transplant) and Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), where he is able to preserve most of a patient’s own cornea while only transplanting the inner layer called the endothelium.

Dr. Gutti performs a majority of his operations in Tavares at the world-class Premier Surgical Center, which offers him the latest surgical equipment and technology so he can achieve optimal visual results for his patients.

Dr. Gutti has published his research in numerous peer-reviewed journals and has authored chapters in highly respected ophthalmic textbooks. He has traveled nationally to present his research at prestigious academic meetings.
