At Tomoka Eye, we are dedicated to helping and educating our community about eye disease. We perform vision and glaucoma screenings at local health fairs, and our doctors enjoy speaking to groups (fellowship, church, and support groups) about ocular disease and modern ophthalmology treatments/surgical options.

If you are interested in one of our doctors speaking for your group, please feel free to contact us to see if we have an available speaker!
