October is National Vision Awareness Month, and we’re honored to spotlight one of our extraordinary Belmont Village Senior Living Fort Lauderdale residents, Dr. Mark, a distinguished ophthalmologist whose career has shaped the field of eye care for more than five decades. 👁️✨

From pursuing medicine at the University of Miami, to completing specialized training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Mark’s expertise took him coast to coast—working alongside two of the most renowned ophthalmologists of the 20th century.

After serving as a U.S. Army Captain leading the Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic at Fort Huachuca, he went on to establish the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute, which grew into the largest ophthalmology practice in Broward County. His legacy is one of excellence, innovation, and above all—unwavering dedication to his patients. 👨‍⚕️👏

Today, in retirement, Dr. Mark remains connected to the field through a global network of specialists and virtual Grand Rounds, all while enjoying life at Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Beth. 💙

Did you know we’re a Certified Butterfly Waystation? Our residents have been having a wonderful time planting milkweed, counting caterpillars, and eagerly waiting for the chrysalis to transform into beautiful Monarch butterflies. There's something truly peaceful about sitting on the JK patio, watching them flutter by, if you're lucky, one might even land on you! 🦋
