Born and raised on the island of Trinidad & Tobago, Dr. Ramsey dreamed of becoming a doctor and helping change lives through VISION. Setting his sights on becoming an optometrist, he graduated with an Honors degree of CUM Laude from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. He went on to Southern College of Optometry (SCO), the #1 optometry school in the country, in Memphis, TN, where he obtained his Doctorate of Optometry.
While practicing with several retailers, Ophthalmologists, and other private practicing Optometrists, Dr. Ramsey realized he had a unique vision of opening his store where curated eyewear & fashion-forward sunwear were selected based on style and craftmanship rather than industry favorites. The result: Socialite Vision Eye Care with Style.
Dr. Ramsey is a board-certified Optometrist who is the past board chairman of the Palm Beach Optometric Association and past vice president of the T Leroy Jefferson Medical Association. Dr. Ramsey is an internationally known and respected published author, speaker consultant, researcher, and advisor.
When it comes to improving his practice, Adam Ramsey, OD, looks to set trends instead of following them, and he does so by looking outside of eye care for inspiration. At Socialite Vision in Palm Beach Gardens, FL., going above and beyond for patients is at the core of the experience—and exceeding expectations is the standard. Every patient visit is carefully curated to the wants and needs of the individual; no two patients receive the same exam or product offerings.
Over the past few years, Dr. Ramsey has made it his mission to help with the issue of diversity and inclusion in the eye care space. In 2019, he co-founded Black Eyecare Perspective, a nonprofit organization designed to cultivate lifelong relationships between African Americans and the eye care industry. In May 2022, Dr. Ramsey was awarded the New England College of Optometry Presidential Medal for his work through Black Eyecare Perspective.
