How We Help
Laser Cataract Surgery
Our laser cataract surgery uses the most advanced, bladeless LenSx laser system for personalized care. Our skilled ophthalmologists are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the minimally invasive process to restore vision and reduce astigmatism.
LASIK Vision Correction
The safest and most effective solution to lower dependence on glasses or contact lenses. A detailed evaluation with our experienced ophthalmologist, Dr. Paul Griffey, ensures that candidates meet all necessary conditions. Most patients achieve improved vision ranging from 20/20 to 20/40.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma affects the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss or blindness if untreated. Early detection is vital, as the disease often progresses without visible symptoms. Our tailored treatment plans, which may include medications or surgery, help prevent further optic nerve damage.
Eyelid Surgery
Our eyelid surgery services address various conditions affecting vision and eye health as we age. Our skilled ophthalmologists perform procedures like Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and improve peripheral vision. These surgeries, often in our in-office surgical suite, offer minimal recovery time. We also treat eyelid lesion styes and manage eyelid malpositions to enhance eyelid function and reduce symptoms from improper eyelid positioning.
Adult & Senior Eye Exams
Our adult and senior eye exams provide comprehensive screenings for optimal vision health. These exams are essential for detecting age-related changes and ensuring early intervention for emerging eye conditions like glaucoma and diabetes.
Optical Services
Explore our full-service optical boutique after your eye exam with an eye specialist. Our licensed opticians specialize in matching eyewear to your face shape, coloring, and vision needs. With over 700 designer frames, including brands like Adidas, Coach, and Ray-Bans, you will find something stylish and comfortable.
Contact Lens Exams, Fittings & Brands
A contact lens exam helps ensure a good fit for your eyes. During this exam, our optometrists will assess your eyes’ unique characteristics, such as cornea curvature, pupil size, and tear film. This helps us find the best contact lens for your vision and eye health needs.

Our Testimonials
I recently went to my family doctor for pain I’d been having in my eye that was moving down my neck. I’d been waiting to have an MRI scheduled, and it was taking forever. I wanted to get a second opinion about what course of action should be taken. My husband and daughter are both patients at this practice and have always received stellar treatment. Dr. Griffey took very good care of me and went the extra step to send a letter to my family doctor while I was still there to concur with what they had said and also confirm that he would suggest an MRI as well. I was very impressed with him and his patient care. And, I appreciate the staff (particularly Tara and Benita) in scheduling me in as soon as possible. I would highly recommend this practice! Thank you all again for your help.

I was referred to Dr. Griffey by several people. I was told he was an excellent ophthalmologist, and they were right. This was my first time meeting him and he made me feel so safe, comfortable and confident that he was providing me with the best and most knowledgeable treatment I could ask for. As I sat in the chair, I observed him interact with a baby he kissed on the forehead, it was so special to see him do that because it showed a gentle side of him, and his interaction with his assistants was nice, professional and straight to the point of what he needed in order to help his patient, I remember him saying to one of them that he was not going to let me leave until he reviewed a report from another doctor about my condition and that really made me feel special because it showed his concern. I don’t think I could have asked for a better doctor. Thank you Dr. Griffey for being the best and hats off to your father and grandfather.

I had a wonderful first appointment. The staff is attentive and the techs and doctors are knowledgeable and take their time really getting to know their patients. So happy to have found them.

I travel from Atlanta, Georgia to see Dr. Griffey, MD, and board certified Ophthalmologist. Dr. Griffey has performed two surgeries on me and I would trust him to do anything he deems necessary. The staff is fantastic and I would recommend Dr. Griffey, to all that needed to see a competent Ophthalmologist!!!
M.Bailey Buck
I want to thank everyone at Chesapeake Eye Care for their care on a recent visit. I had an accident involving my eye and even though they were booked, the receptionist worked me in that day. The technician and Dr. Fox saw me promptly and performed a thorough exam. I was very pleased with both of them and appreciated their kindness and professionalism.
P. Brangan
My dad had cataract surgery a couple years ago. I was a little nervous for him, he’d been resisting getting surgery for so long. However, the staff and Dr. Griffey were wonderful to him and everything went very smoothly. He had a great experience, and I am thankful to them for making him so comfortable.
K. Kroll
The best thing I ever did was get LASIK surgery; it is unbelievable how I can see 20/20. When I get in bed at night I still think … wait….no, I don’t have to take my contacts out and it’s been 3 months. It was wonderful in Mexico also with not having to worry about contacts and all the solutions to bring with me. I had an amazing experience with my LASIK surgery with Dr. Paul Griffey and his staff! I would definitely recommend him to friends and family!!!
E. McConnell
I sent my mom to Dr. Griffey for a 2nd opinion on her eyes. Years later, I am still satisfied with the care he has provided. She had an appointment today and Dr. Griffey called me personally to discuss my concerns. WOW!!!!! GREAT PROVIDER!!!!!! I also referred my dad to him after a bad cataract surgery elsewhere. Dr Griffey did his 2nd eye without complications. THANK YOU for taking care of my parents! I have 30+ years in the business as a licensed optician and have worked with many doctors, I would recommend Dr. Griffey to any patient for care!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Griffey, since 2012. I’m born, raised, formal education, retired Law Enforcement, City of Virginia Beach, VA. After moving to Atlanta, I felt I could not find the care I needed, so I travel back and forth to receive my care. I will not allow anyone to see me. Well worth the trip, and will continue to do so!
Thank you for being The Best…
MBB
We both underwent cataract surgery, in both eyes. Barbara’s was in September of 2018. Mine was in December 2018. We both had excellent experiences, from her first visit, to my last. Dr. Griffey, as well as everyone on his staff, (that we came in contact with), were prompt and very professional. Yet, at the same time they were relaxed and very friendly. We were very impressed that everyone, asked, if we had any questions.
And, we can both see 20/20 again!!.
There was an general atmosphere of confidence and calmness throughout his practice, as well as within the Chesapeake Surgical Center. That made us both feel very comfortable, and well cared for. We have never before experienced such a well run practice. We have, (and will continue to), highly recommend Dr. Griffey to anyone who needs eye care.
