Our Eye Doctors

Dr. Tamara L. Maule attended Lake Worth High School and graduated from Stetson University in 1985. She received her Doctorate of Optometry degree from Southern College of Optometry in 1989, graduating cum laude. She has been practicing in South Florida since then.

Dr. Maule and her husband David have an amazing son Zachary who has autism. Because of her experience at home, she has become especially understanding and patient in examining the special needs population.

Dr. Maule is an active member of the Palm Beach County Optometric Society as well as the Florida Optometric Association. She has served as a Clinical Examiner for both the National Board of Examiners in Optometry as well as the Florida Board, and was appointed by the Governor of the State of Florida to serve on the State Board of Optometry.

Dr. Ira Berman was born in Leningrad, Russia and grew up in San Francisco, California. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Barnard College in NYC and her Doctorate of Optometry from SUNY State College of Optometry in 2004. After graduation, Dr. Berman relocated to Boca Raton, where she was the leaseholding eye doctor at Sears Optical the Town Center Mall for nine years. Now that the Sears location has closed, she is very excited to have joined her practice with Dr. Maule & Associates, and is happy to welcome her former Sears patients to their new and technologically updated location.

Over the past several years Dr. Berman has provided eyecare in Nicaragua, Mexico and China by participating in OneSight, an organization dedicated to providing eyecare for low income populations world-wide. Dr. Berman speaks fluent Russian and Hebrew, and loves to practice her Spanish. Her hobbies include audiobooks, the gym, and spending time with her husband and five children.
