We’re BIG on Giving Back!
Dr. Heavin Maier and Eyes For Life are committed to making a difference and giving back, both in the local community and worldwide.
Every year since 2011 Eyes For Life has donated 10% of our profits to charity organizations, by utilizing feedback from you!
For 2021, each employee has researched and chosen a charity that they are most passionate about.
