Kearny – The Arizona Medical Eye Unit from the Lions Vision Center, Inc. will be giving Ophthalmological Medical Eye Examinations for the benefit of residents of Copper Basin and surrounding localities.

  The Medical Eye Unit will be located at Kearny Municipal Court, 355 Alden Rd. on Monday, Nov. 21 from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Appointment and information may be obtained by calling 480-734-4882.

  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. and is sponsored by the Arizona Ophthalmological Society. The Arizona Ophthalmological Society provided the funding for the Ford F-350 Truck. Members of the Arizona Ophthalmological Society, and Arizona Lions Clubs 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.

  A large percentage of the Ophthalmologists in Arizona have volunteered their time and service on the “Unit”. The “Unit” has been in operation since January 1976 and travels approximately 13,000 miles per year to serve thousands of patients in the outlying rural areas of Arizona.

  The sponsor of the Arizona Medical Eye Unit in Kearny, which is in charge of all arrangements and appointments,  is the Kearny Women’s Club. The requested donation per patient is $40.
