Whitehall Lions Club is partnering with Vision to Learn to provide free eye exams by appointment and glasses for children in need. The Vision to Learn mobile clinic will be at Whitehall High School, 3800 Mechanicsville Road, Aug. 22.
Eligible children will receive an eye exam from a licensed eye doctor. If the exam reveals a need for glasses, the child will pick out glasses and frames. Further, if the child has been examined by an eye doctor within the past 12 months and has a valid prescription but has not yet selected glasses, Vision to Learn will assist the child in selecting frames and will order glasses with the provided prescription.
Email Marnie Melvin at centralpennsylvania@visiontolearn.org with questions.
