  • Acquisition of Dr. Sims Practice and Retirement

    Acquisition of Dr. Sims Practice and Retirement

    As many of you may have heard, Dr. C. Norton Sims, a long time ophthalmologist in Ft. Myers, has retired.  Snead Eye Group has been performing surgery for his patients for many years, so it was a natural progression for Dr. Sims to trust the doctors at Snead Eye Group to continue their care.

     

    We are thrilled that so many of Dr. Sims’s patients took his advice and are coming to see us at Snead Eye Group.  Rest assured that each and every patient will receive the same commitment to excellence in vision & eye care.  When the time comes, medical and surgical treatment options for numerous eye conditions including but not limited to cataract, glaucoma, and eyelid anomalies are readily available.

    FORT MYERS, Fla. (Aug. 23, 2013) – Dr. John W. Snead, M.D., F.A.C.S., founder and medical director of Snead Eye Group, was pleased to partner with the HR department of Scott Fischer Enterprises to offer complimentary vision screenings for its Harley-Davidson employees, both in Fort Myers and Naples.

    These events took place on July 12 at the Fort Myers dealership location and Aug. 8 at the Naples location.

    “Our organization is committed to providing quality eye care within our community and applaud Scott Fischer Enterprises and Harley-Davidson for investing in their employee’s good health”, said Dr. John W. Snead, M.D., F.A.C.S., founder and medical director of Snead Eye Group. “Unfortunately, many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, are not symptomatic, and unless a complete eye exam is conducted with a certified physician, one’s vision can be unknowingly impaired. A complimentary vision screening should be the first step taken by a company in promoting healthy vision among its employees. A company’s success isn’t just in the hands of their employees but in the eyes of them as well.”

    Founded by Dr. John W. Snead in 1985, Snead Eye Group offers eye care for a lifetime, from fitting your first pair of glasses or contact lenses to curing cataracts while providing the latest technology and treatment options available.
