Stokes Regional Eye Center is the only ophthalmology practice providing such a wide range of expertise in the Pee Dee, Grand Strand, and Midlands area. Over half a century later, some of our initial patients still enjoy the excellence and reliability to which they have become accustomed and highly recommend SREC physicians and services to those in search of quality vision care.

Stokes Regional Eye Center was established in 1938 by Dr. Julius 'Howard' Stokes, Sr., MD, later joined by his three sons. Dr. Howard continued to provide the tradition of excellence in eye care and his contribution to the community is commemorated at Francis Marion University where the administration building bears his name. His oldest son, Dr. Hunter R. Stokes, Sr., MD is still very active in the community and has two sons in practice at SREC. Dr. J.
