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.”
