Hunter Vision 3D Lasik signs to become an Official Sponsor of Track Shack Running Series and Title Sponsor of July 4th Watermelon 5K

Orlando, FL (October 10, 2011) – Track Shack Events announces an integrated partnership with the leader in LASIK surgery, Hunter Vision 3D LASIK of Orlando.

After a year of sponsoring events throughout Orlando, Hunter Vision has made a five figure commitment to two major sponsorships with Track Shack Events; the Official LASIK provider of the Track Shack Running Series and a three year commitment as Title Sponsor of the 21st Annual July 4th Watermelon 5k.

Hunter Vision takes a service approach to their grassroots marketing plan. Participants receive something special at the Hunter Vision booth whether it is a hot cup of coffee or an ice cold smoothie. “The event team is very similar to their staff in the LASIK surgery office,” says Sarah Brown, Track Shack’s Director of Marketing and Business Development and patient of Dr. Hunter, “Hunter Vision understands the importance of service combined with an exceptional product.”

Both Track Shack and Hunter Vision have taken the ‘get to know you first’ approach to this partnership. In the past year, Hunter Vision has sponsored eight different Track Shack events. “We’ve discovered that we like each other’s business style. Track Shack has built a reputation on premium customer service to the running/walking community. “Hunter Vision is a technologically advanced company and their service oriented approach is exemplary” says Brown.

“As a casual runner and on-again, off-again triathlete I know the hassle of sweaty glasses and messed up contacts. I participated in sports of all kinds with them for 15 years. Last year I took the opportunity for my own brother, Dr. Joel Hunter to perform 3D LASIK on my eyes. That was the last day sweaty glasses slid down my nose on a run. Even as a part of the Hunter Vision team, I am eternally grateful for his skill. I never have to deal with the hassle again.” -Josh Hunter CEO, Hunter Vision

Located in Orlando’s RDV Sportsplex, Hunter Vision is Central Florida’s only provider of 3D LASIK. Hunter Vision uses the latest technology to diagnose and treat its patients, and provides unsurpassed service that continues even after the surgery.
