The following story was featured in the St. Louis American: Mobile Vision Clinic offers free exams and glasses at four STL County Library branches
The Eye Care Charity of Mid-America will send its state-of-the-art Mobile Vision Clinic to four branches of St. Louis County Library this summer to provide free eye exams and prescription glasses to children age 4 through grade 12.
Those wishing to have an eye exam must have a completed parental permission slip. No appointments will be made; children will be examined on a first-come-first-served basis. Those who are unsure whether their child needs vision correction should attend a free vision screening before the Mobile Vision Clinic is scheduled. Additional details are available at www.slcl.org/eyecare.
The preliminary vision screenings will be held at the following times:
Friday, June 21, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., Weber Road Branch, 4444 Weber Road, St. Louis, MO 63123
Tuesday, July 9, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., Lewis and Clark Branch, 9909 Lewis-Clark Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63136

Line numbers will be assigned based on the order of arrival. Parental/guardian consent forms must be completed to be eligible.
