Meet Dr. R. Kirk Smith (Pine Hills, FL)

Robert “Kirk” Smith, O.D., received his Doctor of Optometry at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee.  He proudly completed his undergraduate studies at Florida State University.  After completing a residency in ocular disease at the Eye Foundation in Orlando, Dr. Smith, a native Floridian, decided to remain in Central Florida to raise his family.

Having served as a president of the Central Florida Society of Optometric Physicians, Dr. Smith remains involved in the optometric community, including serving as an examiner for the Florida State Optometry Exam.

While attending optometry school, he also “studied” BBQ and mastered the art of grilling almost as well as eye care.  Growing up in Lake Worth, Florida, Dr. Smith’s family optometrist fit him for glasses and contact lenses, which inspired him to enter the field of optometry.

Dr. Smith joined Orlando Eyecare in 1996 and carries on the tradition of excellence in eye care that Dr. Devine founded in 1961.

Dr. Smith lives in downtown Orlando with his wife, Kris, a pharmacist, and his two daughters.  He and Kris spend much of their free time coaching their daughters’ sports teams and cooking BBQ sandwiches for their friends and family.

Sri D. - May 17, 2026
May 15th 2026: Outstanding Dr. Robert Kirk Smith... Highly experienced.. Staff working for him are a... wesome..like Rucha, Sebastian and the manager i did not get her name... Awesome folks Manager was kind enough..she said i can wait till 16:59 PM:)))))Just kidding... as i was out of the car:))))))))))) Thanks & Best Regards, Respectfully Submitted, Sridhar Rangaswamy ("Sri") We have gone to Orlando EyeCare in the Year 2007 and again in the Year 2009. Now, we have not gone to the doctor for all these years, whereas the entire Staff and Doctor remembers us. They were asking my family where am I especially Lisa and Sarah! :) This is amazing. Very rare.... Finally, we all went on September 7th 2016-Wednesday this week (4 days ago) … They all state, I bring smile and happiness during our visit. We had to take a Walk-in for Mother-in-law Mrs. Neelam Sinha on September 7th 2016 Wednesday. Lisa in the front desk was super helpful to get us going or get us in.. Very nice. Same goes Lisa -Nursing Practitioner who works with Doctor-she states "I should remain the same" making or bringing smiles.... her quote “I should not change” for Others, she might say, but for me, she states I remain the same. Sarah - another great person is wonderful... They all excel in the work. Very nice, polite, courteous even though they could be swamped... Same goes with Dr. R Kirk Smith. He does not mince words. He tells the expensive ones and why we need... very logical, really cares... he states you guys are back. Wonderful memory ... Possibly we are unique from drjustkidding.com now we got Patent also from US Trade Patent office...that could be reason:)) Please ensure to send a nice note for the above. Wonderful. We should never forget the good deeds, traveling extra mile to help us should be known to the world. Without their help, we could not have seen the doctor for mother-in-law on the same day and time… Really appreciated what all you guys do. Super good work. How good they are should be known to this world. This way, world can see or aware the great work they do… since they all know I speak my mind or as well honesty, truth, ethics and integrity is always on top …everyone has seen me through words, actions and deeds. As they all know I am on Various Non-Profit Boards in the town or around the world. What I promise and I deliver. Or slogan I have is “Promise less and deliver more” Thanks again sri
