“It is my goal to help my patients experience high quality vision. I am motivated to take care of my patients’ eyes and vision, but also to care for them as a whole.

Adam Y.“Dr. Zloty is the best! Not only is he a great doctor, he’s a great person too! I just had LASIK and it was not as bad as I expected. The very next day I had perfect vision. Like magic. I still can’t believe it. I’ve had glasses for years and was even told that I wasn’t a candidate for LASIK several years ago. Then I got referred to Dr. Zloty and he changed my life. I’m so happy! I highly recommend.”
Erin W."Dr. Zloty is wonderful, as is his staff! I was terrified of LASIK, but they took great care of me, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life! If you are thinking of corrective surgery, this is DEFINITELY the place to go! Dr. Z always makes time for his patients, your care at Southern Eye Group does not end when your procedure is done!"
Jonathan L."Fantastic. The facility is very nice with the latest technology (flat screen monitors for visual exam). The optometrist was detailed and took the time to talk with me about glaucoma risk associated with ocular hypertension. The front desk staff was helpful and humorous and the optometrists assistant was great too."
Paul M."From my first visit to the office in Foley, to my cataract removal surgery, the staff at SEG in Foley have been great. Dr. McDaniel explained my options for my new lens and the surgery was 100% successful without a hitch. I don’t remember ever being able to see this good. Now that I see so well out of my left eye, I will discuss future possibilities of removing the cataract in my right eye as well. A solid 5 Star Rating in my book."
Susan L."Office staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Wilder is professional, funny and I’m making him my new forever optometrist. My family will be making their appointments with him as well!"
Kassady G."Absolutely amazing experience! Dr. Kidd is a lifesaver. She has the best bedside manner and made me feel so calm. Highly recommended!"
Tina S."I really love the staff and Dr. Ray was awesome. Thank you!"
