About Us
Global Care Optometry — formerly known as Gulf Coast Optometry — was founded in 2005 by Dr. Kevin G. Brooks with a clear mission: deliver the highest quality vision care to families in a setting that feels genuinely welcoming. What began as three offices in Florida has grown into a multi-state practice group, and while the name has evolved, the commitment to exceptional, patient-first care remains exactly the same.
Our independent optometric offices are conveniently located inside select Visionworks stores, making it easy to handle your complete eye care needs in one visit. Dr. Brooks brings 30 years of optometric experience to every patient interaction, and our leadership team ensures our doctors have everything they need to provide outstanding care day after day.
We believe your eyes deserve a lifetime of expert attention. That's why every patient receives a personalized consultation and a treatment plan built specifically for them — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
