A Vision Camp was organized by the SSSIO-USA Pacific South Region at the White Memorial Hospital in downtown Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, December 3, 2023 from 9 am to 1 pm. The event was organized in collaboration with the Lions International of downtown Los Angeles.
More than 35 SSSIO members, including Young Adults (YAs) from the region, along with 20 members of the local Lions club, volunteered at the camp. The camp served 125 low-income individuals without vision insurance. Participants underwent eye exams using vision testing equipment. Eight optometrists from the White Memorial Hospital were on hand to carry out the exams and provide the correct eye prescription. Participants then received the right prescription glasses from volunteers manning the inventory of glasses which had been generously donated by the Lions club.
