We also learned that the Lions Club awarded a grant to help buy new speicalty equipment to assist in our journey to help all children, including those with special needs at the Chicago Clinic.

We had some some great stories to go along with our successful day too!
We had a a girl with a -4.00 Rx and she never had glasses before, and we were able to dispense her glasses to her and her excitement was overwhelming to the whole team. Teresa was able to give this young girl the glasses and said that the girl could only cover her mouth and giggle once she had her new glasses on.
We had a young man named Shannon in the dilation room, and he spoke to Shannon from the clininc and told her "I'm scared, I'm really scared." The young man was reassured by Jessica and Shannon in the dilation room that he'd be great at it. Jessica was able to hold his hand while Shannon put the drops in his eyes. Shannon was able to squeeze Jessica's hand while he was receiving the drops. He was great at it and did both eyes very quickly and it was over before he knew it.
There was also a -14.00 Rx that was sent to EyeVan and the generator gave a warning that the lens could not be cut because it was out of parameter. Marcos, the EyeVan Production Lead gave a go-ahead on generating the lens even with the warning. The generator was having a great day and turned ot a perfect lens that was able to be put into a pair of glasses and will be put on to a childs face.
