Global Eye Care, doing business as Box Eye Care, was established in 2001. It is our goal to meet and exceed our patients’ expectations. We employ the latest technology available for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease. Moreover, we also have the largest optometry staff in Tuscaloosa County to allow for the most thorough exam in the least amount of time possible. We urge you to allow us to show you the difference here at our office.
