Fort Myers eye care center, HQ set to open

The Frantz EyeCare and Frantz Cosmetic Center in Fort Myers, built by Stevens Construction, is complete.

The 60,000-square-foot, two-story facility is at 9617 Gulf Research Lane. Designed to promote staff efficiency and overall patient experience, Frantz EyeCare offers 44 exam lanes, diagnostic center, retail, LASIK suite and a cosmetic treatment center, according to a statement. The second floor houses Frantz EyeCare’s corporate offices, employee training, a conference room and space available for lease. 

Frantz EyeCare will also provide the future home to Suncoast Surgery Center, an AHCA-licensed surgery center with four operating rooms and four laser suites, says Dan Adams, the vice president/principal at Fort Myers-based Stevens Construction.
