Berkeley Heights, NJ (November 29, 2021) – PRISM Vision Group®, the largest vertically-integrated eye care services organization in the Mid-Atlantic region, announces that affiliated doctor Reginald. J. Sanders, MD, FASRS, has been named the recipient of the 2021 Packo Service Award by the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS).
