History

Established in 1972.

St. Lucy’s Vision Center was located in Town N Country, Tampa for 31 years before relocating to the Citrus Park/​Carrollwood area in 2003. The new office was designed with the patient experience in mind. Dr. Stephen entered the practice in 1998 with Dr. Wetherell’s retirement. Dr. Stephen has focused on creating an eye health and vision care experience that will exceed the expectations of our patients. He is vigilant in maintaining a staff and office that reflect his excellent standards in education, knowledge, instrumentation, technology, therapies, and patient care.

Dr. Melissa V. Mercer joined St. Lucy’s in 2007, she shares the vision of excellence for all of our patients and brings valued specialties to our office.
