Love Your Eyes

Lights, Cameras , Community in Action

On February 11, 2023, the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington worked with several community partners to host a #LoveYourEyesDMV Mobile Vision Clinic at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Alexandria, Virginia.

Special thanks to POB board members Leslie Jones, Wendy Gasch, Woody Woodard!  

60 patients screened, 40 examined, and 36 eyeglasses and lots of smiles from our community, volunteers and staff. Everyone's talking about the next one!
