Come in through the door under them. 3. **Frames on the ground floor.** Our full-service optical is right inside the door: the frame wall, sunglasses, and someone to fit them. Pick out frames on your way out. 4. **Elevator to the second floor.** The elevator is just inside the door. Ride up to two and check in at our front desk.

Father and daughter share the exam rooms upstairs. Dr. Greg Aker is our glaucoma specialist and co-manages cataract and LASIK surgery. Dr. Amanda Aker trained in primary care and ocular disease, so she takes an urgent problem as readily as a yearly exam. If you would rather see Dr. Koehnemann or Dr. Bradley, they are at our Playalinda office. - **[Dr. Greg Aker, O.D.](https://akereyecenter.com/about/dr-greg-aker)**: Diplomate, American Board of Optometry; Southern Diplomate in Glaucoma Management - **[Dr. Amanda Aker, O.D.](https://akereyecenter.com/about/dr-amanda-aker)**: Residency trained in ocular disease; Fellow, American Academy of Optometry; Diplomate, American Board of Optometry ## What can I come to the Downtown office for? Everything we do happens Downtown: comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, glasses from the optical downstairs, kids' exams, urgent visits, glaucoma care, and dry eye evaluation and treatment. One treatment is only here. The Opti-Lift unit cannot move between offices, so an Opti-Lift visit is booked at this office whichever doctor is yours. - [Comprehensive Eye Exams](https://akereyecenter.com/services/eye-exams) - [Contact Lenses](https://akereyecenter.com/services/contact-lenses) - [Glasses and Frames](https://akereyecenter.com/services/glasses-and-frames) - [Dry Eye Treatment](https://akereyecenter.com/services/dry-eye-treatment) - [Specialty Contact Lenses](https://akereyecenter.com/services/specialty-contact-lenses) - [Glaucoma Management](https://akereyecenter.com/services/glaucoma) - [Macular Degeneration](https://akereyecenter.com/services/macular-degeneration) - [Diabetic Eye Exams](https://akereyecenter.com/services/diabetic-eye-exams) - [Cataract Co-Management](https://akereyecenter.com/services/cataracts) - [Kids' Eye Exams](https://akereyecenter.com/services/pediatric-eye-exams) - [Emergency Eye Care](https://akereyecenter.com/services/emergency-eye-care) When even strong glasses no longer do enough, our [Low Vision Clinic](https://akereyecenter.com/services/low-vision-clinic) with Dr. Koehnemann is at our Playalinda office, and we can book it for you on the same call. ## What is the story behind our building? Frederick A. Losley, a Swiss immigrant, put this building up in 1888 as Losley's Saloon and Billiard Parlor, with the ten rooms of the Alpine Hotel upstairs. A fire took it in 1895, and he rebuilt it where it stood. An optometrist named G. L. Mandaville saw patients here part-time in the 1930s and 40s, so we were not the first eye doctors at this address. Dr. Greg Aker opened our practice in the building in 2004, and he has seen patients upstairs ever since. Walk into the lobby and you meet the family. The hospital portraits of Dr. Charles Aker, Titusville's first surgeon in 1958, and Laura Aker, a nurse anesthetist at the same hospital, hang there beside his stethoscope. In the early days he took payment in eggs and dinner plates, and once in miniature ponies. They are Dr. Greg Aker's parents and Dr. Amanda Aker's grandparents. ## Questions about Aker Eye Downtown ### Who is the best eye doctor in downtown Titusville? Ask your neighbors: 4.9 stars from 2,027 Google reviews across both offices as of September 2026, and Dr. Greg Aker has practiced Downtown since 2004. He is a Southern Diplomate in Glaucoma Management, and his daughter, Dr. Amanda Aker, is residency trained in primary care and ocular disease. Both see patients at 338 S Washington Ave. Call (321) 269-2021 and we will book you a time upstairs. ### What are the hours at the Downtown office? Mon to Fri, 8am to 5pm. We open at 10am on the first and third Wednesday of the month. If none of our Downtown openings fit your week, ask when you call (321) 269-2021; Playalinda keeps the same hours and may have a sooner one. ### Where do I park at the Downtown office? Behind the building, in our own lot. If it is full, the public parking on Julia Street is a short walk away, and there is street parking along S Washington Ave. Come in under the blue awnings, take the elevator to two, and we will check you in at the front desk. ### Do I have to climb stairs at the Downtown office? No. The elevator is just inside the entrance and takes you to our front desk on the second floor. If you would rather skip an elevator altogether, our Playalinda office is all on one floor, and Dr. Koehnemann and Dr. Bradley see patients there. ### Do you take my insurance at the Downtown office? Most plans, yes. We work with most vision plans and medical insurance, including VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Medicare, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare. Give us your plan name when you call (321) 269-2021 and we will check your benefits before you come in, so there is no surprise at the desk. ### Do I need to fill out new patient forms before I come in? It helps. Our new patient forms take about ten minutes online, and having them done means we can bring you back sooner. If you would rather do them on paper, come up ten minutes early and we will have a clipboard ready. ### Can I get dry eye treatment at the Downtown office? Yes. We evaluate and treat dry eye at both offices, with gland imaging, low-level light therapy, and OptiLight IPL. Opti-Lift is the one treatment that is only here Downtown, since the unit cannot move between offices. Tell us it is for dry eye when you call and we will book the right kind of visit. --- Aker Eye Vision Source, Titusville, FL. Call or text (321) 269-2021. Book online: https://akereyecenter.com/book.
