Community Involvement

Florida Eye is committed to doing its part to be a good South Florida neighbor. The following are a few examples of how we contribute to the community.

Free Lectures and Seminars

By sponsoring professional lectures and seminars throughout the year, Florida Eye helps keep local optometrists and medical practitioners abreast of the latest treatments, equipment and procedures available to eye-care practices and their patients. See Continuing Education »

Volunteer Services

When unusual situations of need arise, Florida Eye offers its' help.

Such was the case in April of 2009 when Dr. Randy Katz volunteered his surgical expertise to restore the failing eyesight of "Fozzie" — a Bichon/Poodle mix from Boca Raton who had already lost sight in one eye and was on the verge of total blindness until Dr. Katz intervened.

Broader Charitable Causes

Forgotten Soldiers Outreach Program

In December 2009, Florida Eye hosted a collection drive for the Forgotten Soldiers Outreach Program — a cause that provides much-appreciated personal items along with notes of encouragement from children and adults to our U.S. soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Florida Eye was already engaged in giving support by regularly supplying bottles of artificial tears to overseas troops. Joining the Forgotten Soldiers effort was another opportunity to support troops that couldn't be passed up. See full story »

Haitian Relief Effort

After Haiti was devastated by the catastrophic earthquake of 2010, smoke and debris became a special health challenge to victims and rescue teams. Florida Eye responded by leading yet another donation drive — this time soliciting local medical practices for donations of eye-care supplies that could be shipped to help. See full story »
