CLAY TODAY – Jericho Sayoc, O.D. has recently joined Clay Eye Physicians & Surgeons as an associate of their clinical staff.

Dr. Sayoc earned a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and a doctorate degree in optometry from Midwestern Arizona College of Optometry. He completed his Optometry Residency at the VA Hospital in Jacksonville with an emphasis on Primary Care and Ocular Disease with additional training on low vision and specialty contact lens fitting.

“Over the past five years, our practice has grown significantly. We now have five locations in North Florida. We’ve welcomed many new patients who are looking to establish a relationship with a doctor that they can see each and every year. We’re happy to have Dr. Sayoc to help welcome those patients with us,” said Melanie Javier, O.D. Optometrist with Clay Eye.

“The most fulfilling part of my optometric career is getting the opportunity to know my patients and problem-solve ways to improve their vision in their daily lives. I am honored to play a role in how they see and experience the world. When patients share their vision limitations, I do my best to figure out ways to allow them to continue to enjoy the activities they love.

He continued “I chose to work at Clay Eye because I was impressed by the team-based approach that focused on patient-first care. It’s truly impressive to work and continue to grow clinically amongst so many specialists. With such a wide spectrum of doctors, we are able to provide efficient and patient-oriented care all in one place.”
