Dr. James Mcnair

I'm from Illinois, visiting friends this month. I was on a recent month-long trip to New Zealand; and, my autoimmune disease started attacking my eye. As soon as I got to Ocala, I started trying to find a dr to see me. Everyone I found, including the ER, tried to treat me for conjunctivitis, even though I told them that's not what's wrong with me. I finally called Dr McNair's office, and was shocked when he answered the phone. He knew right away that my eye issue was autoimmune related and called in a script for steroid drops. He even personally called me back with updates. Such a nice person too. As you can see from the photo, I was in a LOT of pain, and at high risk of losing my eyesight. Once I started the drops he gave me, I got almost instant relief. If I lived in Ocala full-time, Dr McNair would be my optomologist of choice! Five stars!

Dr. McNair is fabulous. He takes as much time as the patient needs, and he listens! :-) I had one cataract removed in 2018 and the lens was replaced with a monofocal lens set for distance. Okay, fine, I could drive without glasses after that, but the vast majority of my day is spent doing close-range things: editing, court reporting and transcription, artwork, playing music. And I needed to have "readers" in every single doggone room. In 2025 I was ready to get the other cataract taken care of. Dr. McNair heard my concerns regarding all my close-up work and he said, "Ah! I know what I'm going to do for you." He proposed a monofocal lens set for close-up work -- I actually teared up, because that's how my eyes originally were, and I never needed glasses until I was in my 40s! When I told him that, he said, "Okay, your brain is already wired for that, then. Even better!" And, after a few days of recovery time, I NO LONGER NEED GLASSES AT ALL! I'm thrilled.
