Monnett Eye & Surgery Center is more than eye glasses and cataract surgery.

This cozy, hidden gem is where you can say goodbye to corrective lenses while rejuvenating your appearance and gaining self-confidence. “We’re an eye center, an eye surgery center, a hearing center and an aesthetics center,” said Teresa Monnett, Dr. Monnett’s wife, a pharmacist and licensed aesthetician. Studies show that hearing and vision begin to fail at similar stages in life. By treating both conditions the patient is able to remain independent and active much longer.

“Not only do we try to surprise people with our affordable prices, many procedures are covered by insurance,” she said. “And we also offer interest-free financing.” Dr. Monnett, an M.D. who specializes in eyes and eye surgery, founded the center 27 years ago. He utilizes the newest techniques to restore glasses-free vision while promoting fast recovery for people of any age. Even people who were told that they are not candidates for seven-minute, scalpel-free, laser-vision correction may find they can
go home without glasses.

Dr. Monnett has performed more than 20,000 surgeries to remove cataracts. He treats macular degeneration and helps glaucoma patients reduce the need for expensive eye drops. Many clients come for eyelid lifts (ususally covered by insurance), Botox, Juvederm and Radiesse.

“I see better than I ever have,” said Jane Link. An insurance-paid eyelid lift, she said, was like taking off a cap that blocked her vision. It also returned the youthful sparkle to her eyes. “People tell me I have big, beautiful brown eyes; they don’t know I’ve had treatments,” she said.

Link, who was seeing Dr. Monnett for eye care, switched from her plastic surgeon
to Monnett for appearance, too. “I think Monnett is the best-kept secret on the Treasure
Coast. No one in Palm Beach can compare,” Link said.

Over a year, her Botox treatments cost less than a daily latte, she said. “And because Dr. Monnett knows every muscle around the eye, he makes you look perfectly natural,” she said. Link said she has also discovered Monnett’s Center for Facial Aesthetics for the best massage, skin treatments, top-quality skin products available only from doctors, and the new skin-tightening treatments with no-downtime, she said. “You can put
make-up on right away and go out.”

“My profession is very competitive and I have to look youthful, energetic and well-rested,” she said. “Dr. Monnett and the Aesthetics Center help me do that.” The Monnett Eye & Surgery Center and Center for Facial Aesthetics are located at 14410 U.S. 1 in Sebastian.
