Dr. Golen and his staff were amazing and extremely professional. It was such a simple and stress-free process. We had a pretty severe case, and Dr. Golen handled it so well. I’m so thankful for him and his team. I would definitelyShow more recommend him…he earned those five stars.
Great experience as always. Dr Golen and his team provide the best eye care. I see him mote often due to my glaucoma and I am confident that I am getting the best possible care.
Central Florida Ophthalmology (CFO) is a premier, top-tier ophthalmology practice offering cataract surgery, cornea treatment, glaucoma management, and more. From the office in Oviedo, Florida, founder Dr. Jeffrey R. Golen, MD, and the team specialize in comprehensive ophthalmology to provide their patients with the best eye care possible.
Dr. Golen is originally from the metropolitan Detroit area of Michigan, and has always loved science. Throughout his adolescence, he was particularly attracted to biology and was torn between becoming a scientist or a physician. He notes that the building of community and daily interaction with patients pointed him toward medicine rather than scientific research.
Attending the University of Notre Dame on a full-ride ROTC scholarship, Dr. Golen graduated and fulfilled his military obligation as a United States Army Captain in the Ohio National Guard while earning his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine. He moved to Tampa, Florida, for his ophthalmology residency at the University of South Florida. After residency graduation, Dr. Golen completed a cornea fellowship at the F.I. Proctor Foundation at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
Prior to moving back to Florida for private practice, Dr. Golen was on faculty at the University of Virginia for three years as an ophthalmologist, cornea specialist, cornea and cataract surgeon, and assistant residency program director. At UVA, Dr. Golen treated complex cataracts, severe traumas, advanced infections, and congenital eye disorders. Given the severe disease state of some of the cornea cases, he even implanted multiple Boston Keratoprosthesis corneal transplants, a part prosthetic, part biologic artificial cornea.
Now in private practice at Central Florida Ophthalmology (CFO) in Oviedo, FL, Dr. Golen and his team treat various eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, pterygium, diabetic eye disease, and corneal pathology. The team’s specialization and expertise in general ophthalmological care provide the foundation of optimal eye health for their patients.
Dr. Golen is a lifelong athlete, as well as a health and fitness fan. You will often hear him discussing lifestyle optimization with his patients, with the goal of improving overall health and wellbeing. He enjoys reading nonfiction books, weight training, sports of every variety, live music, and especially outdoor activities. His favorite activity is spending time with his wife and two children.

Excellent care and attention from all staff
Very Good
A short notice emergency was acted on promptly,
Dr. Golen and his nurse were very thorough and attentive to my concerns. Would recommend to anyone needing opthomologic services.
Dr. Golen is a great doctor. He takes the time to explain everything. He has a great bedside manner. His office staff is very friendly.
I just had a complete & thorough ophthalmology exam, including dilation in under an hour. This is the most efficiently run ophthalmologist I’ve been to in my 30 years in Central Florida. I made the appointment on line and was seen in less than 24 hours. The office staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Dr. Golen has an excellent bedside manner, takes time to listen to your concerns and addresses them. It seems that every other time I’ve been to an eye doctor (whether MD or optometrist) I’ve had to go back to the waiting room to “wait” for my eyes to dilate. Not here, once I left th
So blessed I went to appt and get needed help

Very impressed with Dr. Golen and his staff!
I drive an hour to see Dr.Golen. I’m a nurse so I understand the ‘lingo’ so I understand medical stuff easier than most. Dr.Golen is straight forward, kind, compassionate. I had trouble with my gps and had difficulty finding his building so I was late and he still saw me. Thank you Dr.Golen.
Everything is great

ALWAYS a pleasure when visiting Dr. Golen. So professional and friendly.
Very professional and attentive team
My trip to Dr. Golan was one of urgency. My left eye was bloodshot, painful, and I did not know of an ophthalmologist. On my call, the office was helpful and friendly. She set the phone down to speak with Dr Golan. They squeezed me in at noon the next day and took care of my eye. Thankfully it was not serious- but if it was; my eye and vision were in good hands. They earned my appreciation and future business!
Professional, timely, engaging, helpful; well organized and spacious office. Bilingual staff. Above all, medically proficient.
The staff was so friendly and amazing, they gave you a great warm welcome when you come in. The doctor is wonderful explain everything in detail give you time for all your questions, and the surgery went smoothly with the least amount of pain. I am so greatful I went there
