Day 8: Week 2

Texas lingo: mosey, to walk with little purpose. "Let's mosey around the mall this afternoon."

The final step for the children who visit our clinic is frame selection.



Here Billy is measuring this young lady's pupillary distance or PD. This is the distance from the bridge of your nose to the center f your pupil. We use this measurement to put the optical center of your lenses in the best place for your eyes.


We have a great selection of frames, names Persol and Ray Ban. Pictured is Tonya helping some of the kids pick out their new pair of glasses.


It's so much fun to see the kids faces when they find the right pair.


We made a map of where the whole team is from and hung it in the pre-lab room.

Today Sukmeet had a heart warming experience we would like to share. While working at the auto-refractor she met a young lady named Kaylen. She was wearing a pair of glasses but they two years old as her mother has been out of work. Kaylen prescription is -19.50 and -14.50 -2.50 x 005 meaning she can't see the end of her nose without her glasses. These are the children we are so proud to help and truly touch us.
