The Eye Care Center Hosts Geneva Chamber’s July Mixer

Geneva – The Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce held its July Business After Hours Networking Mixer at The Eye Care
Center on Wednesday July 12. The event was held at their Geneva location at 784 Pre-Emption Rd in Geneva, which is one
of various Finger Lakes locations including Canandaigua, and now Macedon. For over 40 years, a team of skilled
ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians, and on-site optical shops, has been dedicated to delivering exceptional care
and enhancing the visual health of individuals in the community.

During the Chamber’s Mixer, guests enjoyed a variety of hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, and a small presentation where
they learned more about the different cosmetic and eye care services that are available. The Eye Care Center also shared
details about the opening of their new location and expansion in Macedon which will be celebrated formally during an
event on Friday July 28. More information, including hours and services, can be found by visiting theeyecarecenter.com.
