Day 2: First Clinic Day

This was one of the best first clinic days we've experienced. We had the privilege of seeing 300 kids today who all received free eye exams and those in need got to pick out frames for their brand new glasses.

Our bit of Texas lingo we learned today was shoot, meaning line or queue. Ex: Follow the shoot to the next station.

To give you an idea of the clinic setup we would like to walk you through our clinic process a few stations at a time.
The kids first stop is registration. We are so blessed by the amazing City of Houston staff that are running registration and many other parts of the clinic. Each child receive paper to track them through the process so we can document each step and make the best recommendations for their eye health.

Each day we'll share more stations with you.

We want to leave you with a heart warming story from our day. At the tonometry station, where you get the puff of air in your eye at the eye doctors office. We had a young girl named Jayla, she was so afraid of this station that everytime she got to the head of the shoot, she would let two or three other kids in front of her. When Jayla was left as the last kid in line the team realized her fear and took her by the hand, after two quick puffs she was off with a smile.
