Oracle – The Arizona Medical Eye Unit from the Lions Vision Center, Inc. will be giving Ophthalmological Medical Eye Examinations for the benefit of residents of Oracle and surrounding localities.
The Medical Eye Unit will be located at Sun Life Medical Clinic in Oracle on March 12. Appointments start at 8:30 a.m. Appointments and information may be obtained by calling 896-9657.
Since only 20 to 30 patients can be examined each day, those who suspect they may have eye problems are urged to phone as soon as possible to be assured of an appointment.
The completely equipped Arizona Medical Eye Unit was donated to the Lions Vision Center, Inc. through the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Arizona and is sponsored by the Arizona Ophthalmological Society. The Arizona Ophthalmological Society provided the funding for the 2012 Ford F-350 truck. Members of the Arizona Ophthalmological Society, Arizona Lions Clubs, and the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Arizona unite with other agencies and organizations to bring medical eye services to outlying areas of Arizona where ophthalmic care is not readily available. Arizona Ophthalmologists who are in private practice volunteer their time on the Medical Eye Unit, and receive no remuneration.
