Our attire for clinic is normally our OneSight clinic shirts, red with a Houston logo on back but one day each week of clinic we have a fun day. Today was Hawaiian shirt day. Above is a picture of our team at breakfast in their Hawaiian shirts; Top left, Sheila Neal Moore - Target Dallas TX, Paul Craven - LensCrafters North Portland MN, Billy Thomas - LensCrafters Detroit MI, and Debbie Hailey - Talent Management Mason OH.

This is the third step in the clinic process is what we call pre-test, this includes auto refraction and tonometry. Auto Refractor estimates prescription by measuring the way light bounces in the eye to give our doctors a starting point for their exam. Tonometry measures the pressure of the eye which if it is too high can indicate conditions like glaucoma.
Pictured above working on the Tonometry machine are Malisa Sicilia, Sears Savannah GA, and Lisa Barbour LensCrafters Denver CO.
We had a very special visitor today, Sheila Jackson Lee, US Congresswoman for the 18th district of Texas. During her visit she spoke about President Obama's Health care proposals and presented OneSight with a Congressional award. Pictured above are Sheila Jackson Lee and Scott Lawrence - OneSight (our team Leader).
Our truly fulfilling story of the day comes from a young girl, Jasmene. She came through the clinic wearing a -1.00 sphere in both eyes. The auto refractor read her left eye as needing a -15.25 correction, not believing his eyes, Carson Maxted - Pearle Kelowna BC re-tested. The re-test gave similar correction results. Unfortunately, Jasmene was very scared throughout the process and left before we could get her final written prescription. However there is a happy ending to this story, because of the wonderful partnership we have with the local doctors here in Houston, she will be seen again by them and receive the prescription. We all are so excited to be part of such an amazing little girl and helping her by giving the gift of sight.
Great job Amanda and Team!!! Really looking forward to the posts this week and seeing the smiling faces of new friends and of course the kiddies!!
