Day 9: Hometown Day

Today was Hometown T-shirt Day!


Carson from Kelowna, BC sporting his 2010 Olympic Winter Games t-shirt.



Tonya and Debbie, both from the Cincinnati area wearing their BearCat gear.

Texas Lingo: yankee, typically a derogatory term for an outsider. "Stupid yankee, can't even drive straight."

The last step in the clinic process is making the children's glasses in our mobile lab. We are very fortunate to have several Core Team members who are extremely experienced in the lab and are willing to train those of us who have little to no experience there.


Here Angie from Houston Lens Crafters is pulling lenses for each kids new prescription.


The lenses and frames are inventoried then the optical center is marked and finally we add what is called a block, a small plastic handle to the top of the lens so the machines can hold it without damaging it.

Susan Weldon and Juanita from the Cincinnati Lab here on Seemore tracing frames, cutting lenses and putting together complete glasses.


Malisa Sacllia from Savannah Lens Crafters and Tiffany Knapp from Myrtle Beach Sunglass Hut are checking prescription, cleaning and casing up the finished product.
