In 2017 Dr. Palo noticed a demand for comprehensive eye care in downtown Raleigh. While walking through Seaboard Station, he saw a space for lease. After living in and falling in love with the area, he brought the idea of expanding downtown to his partner, Dr. Poirier. In October 2017, they opened their second clinic at 712 Seaboard Station Drive, where they provide a convenient location for an eye care practice to offer exceptional clinical care and a curated selection of eyewear products. At this time, the partners decided that they also needed a name change that would reflect the expanded reach of their original Knightdale clinic.
Thus was born The Eye Institute, with the second location in their growing eye care business at Seaboard Station. Dr. Palo began spending most of his clinical time at Seaboard and is now there full-time as the clinic has grown, and the locals soon learned of this location and his devotion to patient care. Let’s just say that as downtown Raleigh continues to evolve, The Eye Institute at Seaboard Station is right there with their local community!

Their selection of frames is incredible, featuring independently owned brands from Spain, Italy, and beyond. The best part? They’re super trendy and stylish, but at a fraction of the cost of designer glasses. Trust me, I’ve spent thousands on high-end eyewear, and this place is a total game-changer!
As someone originally from Los Angeles and very much a trendy city girl, this was exactly what I needed. I’ve already recommended The Eye Institute to family and friends—and I’ll continue to do so!
Beyond the amazing selection, the staff is friendly, professional, and has great energy. They’re also using cutting-edge technology to ensure the best eye care. And Dr. Palo? Absolute perfection. He’s everything you want in an eye doctor—knowledgeable, attentive, and truly invested in your eye health.
Highly recommend! If you’re looking for top-tier eye care with a stylish touch, this is the place to go. You won’t regret it!
P.S. I went with these frames. Flora helped me pick them out as she too owns a pair. Can't wait to get them!
