June 1, 2022
We are excited to announce our new community partnership with the Lions Eye Institute and Glazer Vision Foundation to bring the Mobile Vision Clinic to our offices during the month of June!
80% of all vision impairment can be prevented or cured, however 1 in 5 children cannot afford eye care. The Mobile Vision Clinic offers top medical resources and cutting-edge technology to provide eye exams and prescription glasses within 3 hours to children in need – all at no cost to the child.
The Mobile Vision Clinic will be at the following locations and available between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. providing free eye exams and glasses for children ages 5 – 17 years old.
June 9 – Brandon | 3030 N. Falkenburg Rd
