“I have known and referred patients to Southeastern Ocularists for a number of years.  Their work has been excellent and they have treated my patients in a professional and compassionate manner.  I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of the services of an ocularist.”

“I have worked with Bob Henderlite for over 7 years. I have found him to be very caring and helpful with patients. Both take extra time to explain the entire fitting process in detail and do whatever is necessary to make all patients feel comfortable.  Southeastern Ocualrists follows-up with every patient and with me and keep me informed at every step of the process. I will continue to refer patients to them and look forward to many years of sharing patients.”

“For several years, I have had the pleasure of working with the Henderlites at Southeastern Ocularists. Their custom ocular prosthetics are among the best in the country and certainly the best in the region. Their attention to detail combined with their level of expertise results in a high-quality, natural appearance. The level of compassion and professionalism that they have shown to my patients is unparalleled. I would encourage and recommend anyone in need of an artificial eye to consult with this remarkable group of artisans.”

Patient Reviews

“Through the expertise, artistry and craftsmanship at Southeastern Ocularists, I have enjoyed many years of wearing a scleral shell in my right eye with comfort and confidence.  When you provided my first shell, my husband even commented how much it enhanced my self-confidence in meeting new people and interactions in new settings.  You will never know how much it means to have talent available to thtose of us in need of your services and products.  Thank you for your professionalism, and willingness to ensure that I am, and will continue to be, one of your best clients.”

– Jan Tucker

“I had went in to see them about getting a new artificial eye made.  The staff was friendly and very helpful with every question I had about the whole process of the paper work to the actual picking up my new eye.  I have had so many compliments on how real and life-like my new eye is and I no longer look like I have a lazy eye. Thanks so much Southeastern Ocularists, Inc. for making a bad situation good again, I would recommend anyone to you.”

– Gene Brewer

Southeastern Ocularists are A+  for friendliness, promptness, and most importantly, quality. I’ve been to Robert Henderlite twice (over 15 years), and both times he was able to match my natural eye color (a mostly-green with a bit ‘o brown), and people are surprised I have a prosthetic eye. And, I kid you not, one woman asked if I could see out if it! From start to finish, Robert had my eye done in less than a month. Of course, your time frame might be different (so, don’t quote me, haha) but I’m very happy with his craftsmanship and artistry and I know you will be, too.

– Sandy Beckwith

“Mr. Henderlite does outstanding work – the best of any ocularist I have seen. My husband and I both think it is the best prosthesis I’ve ever had. He is very kind and compassionate with his patients, and I have found him to be extremely easy to work with. I hope he’ll stay in this business a long, long time!”

“I cannot tell you the difference the scleral shell has made. I feel more self assured and confident. I went to my retina specialist yesterday to show off your work, and the first thing he said was, “Wow, what eye is it?”. It is really remarkable the work that you do. I would not hesitate for a second to refer someone to your office.”
