👏 Celebrating Dr. Cameron Schroeder! 👏
We’re incredibly proud of our new Optometrist, Dr. Schroeder, for his recent volunteer work with OneSight, a nonprofit funded by Essilor Luxotitica, dedicated to eradicating uncorrected refractive error and bringing sustainable vision care to communities in need.

Dr. Schroeder was one of only six Optometrists selected to travel to Dallas, Texas, where his group provided over 500 eye exams and delivered brand-new glasses to patients in need—all in just three days. 💙👓

He shared, “We saw a lot of tears of joy shed, as patients could see clearly for the first time. We received a LOT of hugs!” He continued, “It’s such rewarding work, and I’m honored to volunteer for such a worthy cause.”

We’re honored to have Dr. Schroeder on our team. His passion for his profession and his community shines through everything he does, and we’re excited for our Dothan patients to experience his exceptional care. 💙
