He finished optometry school in 1984 and came straight home. He practiced at Optoworld and the Florida Eye Clinic before opening our practice in 2004, in the building on S Washington Ave where he still sees patients. ## Glaucoma, treated in town Glaucoma is where his training runs deepest. He is a Southern Diplomate in Glaucoma Management and a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry, so a pressure check or a change in your drops happens with him in Titusville, not in a waiting room out of town. He has also co-managed more than 2,000 LASIK surgeries and the recovery of more than 4,500 surgical patients. ## The doctors he trained Dr. Koehnemann first followed him from room to room as a high school student in 2002, and now practices at our Playalinda office. His daughter, Dr. Amanda Aker, grew up at our front desk and joined him in the exam rooms Downtown in 2025. Patients say the same two things about all three: the exam is thorough, and the doctor explains what they found before you are out of the chair. ## Off the clock He learned to surf at Playalinda Beach when he was eight and still surfs it, pier 5 on a good morning. ## Education - Southern College of Optometry, Doctor of Optometry, 1984, with a focus on ocular disease and contact lenses - Florida State University, 1980 ## Training and board status - Southern Diplomate in Glaucoma Management - Diplomate, American Board of Optometry - More than 2,000 LASIK co-managements and 4,500 post-operative patients managed ## Professional memberships - American Optometric Association - Florida Optometric Association - Brevard Optometric Association (President, 1990 to 1994) - Optometric Retina Society ## Questions about Dr. Greg Aker ### Who is the best eye doctor in Titusville for glaucoma?
