Myrna Benson Celebrates 25 Years Of Service At The Eye Clinic Of Texas

League City, Texas - Myrna Benson recently celebrated her 25th anniversary as an employee of The Eye Clinic of Texas (ECT). ECT doctors recognized Benson for her numerous years of dedicated service by presenting her with an emerald ring.

After working for a local dentist for nine years, Benson joined ECT in 1974 as an assistant, and two years later received her ophthalmic assistant certification from the Joint Commission of Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO). She later completed other courses through the American Academy of Ophthalmology, The University of Texas Medical Branch's Department of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Education Seminars, Inc. Benson continues to take JCAHPO home-study courses every two to three years to stay updated on new ophthalmic trends and techniques.

"In today's world, it is very difficult to find employees that are loyal to one company for more than five years, much less 25 years," said Bernard A. Milstein, M.D., founder and doctor at ECT. "Myrna is dedicated to the field of ophthalmology and has played an important role in our success as a nationally-recognized clinic."

A Galveston native and current resident, Benson plans to retire in 2002 and spend more time with her husband, two children and three grandchildren. 

Founded in 1972, The Eye Clinic of Texas (ECT) offers the latest in laser vision correction surgery, as well as a full range of other eye care.

The doctors at ECT were the first to perform a laser vision correction surgery in Texas in 1991, while the clinic itself rose to fame as one of only 10 sites in the U.S. participating in the original clinical trials to treat nearsightedness via laser vision correction surgery. ECT has three locations located in Galveston, League City and Texas City. For more information, call (800) 423-3937.
