Our Vision Clinic - our new “high tech” autorefractor determined the correct prescription Mike Woody Carolyn Elliot
Many people wanted/needed glasses! Outside and inside the vision clinic people waited. Inside, they were checked with an eye chart and auto- refractor – then they waited to be fitted…at 4 fitting tables! The auto-refractor sped up the process very nicely and was a GREAT HELP!
Finding the perfect glasses! Dyvonne Ellis Dyvonne is a marine! She was a great fitter – her Spanish combined with that of her interpreter made for perfect communication! Charles Peacock Charles was our lead fitter. We had 4 fitters total and all were excellent. We fitted 1081 people with prescription glasses in 6 days.
We gave out over 3000 pair of glasses counting reading and sun glasses We had over 7000 pair of glasses to choose from – picking out the right glasses was critical. The Eden mission church was dedicated totally to our vision clinic. Glasses were along every wall.
