Dr. Benjamin Smith was inspired by the compassionate care of his eye doctor as a teenager and strives daily to emulate that kind of professional eyecare with a personal touch. His ideas bring new perspective to the Malara Eyecare team, from comprehensive eye exams to complex contact lens fittings and full diagnostic medical care. As a LeMoyne graduate, Dr. Smith is excited to return to the place he called home for 4 years and rekindle his relationship with the Greater Syracuse community. Originally from Buffalo, NY, he graduated from SUNY College of Optometry in Manhattan.
