A Legacy of Community Care Since 1959

Mirkin Vision’s connection to the Rockaways runs deep. Founded in 1959 and remaining family-owned for more than six decades, our practice has grown alongside the community we serve. Over the years, supporting local families and giving back to our neighbors has become as important as providing expert eye-care services. Our mission blends compassionate care with a resident-first mindset, ensuring we always treat our patients as part of our community family.

Engagement & Local Partnerships

Giving back is part of our identity. Dr. Daniel Mirkin, a long-time pillar of the Rockaways, has been actively involved in local organizations, including serving as a past President of the Rockaway Rotary. Through partnerships like these, we participate in charitable events, community drives, and public service programs that improve access to vision care and increase awareness about eye health. Our outreach often includes promoting eye health literacy, participating in local health fairs, and supporting initiatives that enhance the wellbeing of local residents.

Educational Support & Eye Health Awareness

We believe education is a powerful tool for long-term eye health. Mirkin Vision provides guidance and consultation for all ages—from children experiencing early myopia to adults managing dry eye or needing updated prescriptions. Through outreach activities, we help families understand the importance of regular eye exams, safe vision habits, and the early detection of vision changes. Dr. Mirkin and his staff are always eager to share their expertise, whether in clinic presentations or community events, ensuring that accurate eye care knowledge reaches all members of our neighborhood.

Accessibility & Compassion in Everything We Do

At Mirkin Vision, serving the Rockaways isn’t just about providing eye exams—it’s about making vision care accessible, welcoming, and compassionate. We invest time in our community and collaborate with local partners to make eye care approachable, affordable, and thoughtful. Every patient is treated as a neighbor, not a number, and we strive to create a positive, supportive environment from the moment you walk through our doors.

Why Our Outreach Matters

Vision impacts every aspect of life, from academic success to professional performance, daily safety, and overall happiness. By engaging with our community and strengthening local ties, Mirkin Vision hopes to not only improve eye care access but also inspire healthier habits and greater confidence in our neighbors’ vision for years to come.
