Your discarded glasses can bring physical sight to the needy . . . and help to banish
their spiritual blindness as well.

A Vision ClinicA Vision Clinic
BREAKS DOWN
social & cultural barriers, gives the local church a positive name in the
community and provides many follow-up contacts.

So how do we get from a bag
of unsorted glasses . . .
. . . to fitting
someone in Mexico?
![Page 11: Vision & Dental Mission Clinics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568157e7550346895dc5625a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
First we separate the cases from the glasses.
Next they get washed:in the dishwasher,
or by hand.
![Page 12: Vision & Dental Mission Clinics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568157e7550346895dc5625a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The glasses are sorted,
and stored by category.
![Page 13: Vision & Dental Mission Clinics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568157e7550346895dc5625a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An autolensometer “reads” the presecription of each pair of glasses and
prints it out.
The glasses and their prescription go into a little
zip-lock bag.
![Page 14: Vision & Dental Mission Clinics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568157e7550346895dc5625a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
They are then placed in gallon zip lock They are then placed in gallon zip lock bags of similar prescriptions and bags of similar prescriptions and
organized organized into bins or trunks for transport.into bins or trunks for transport.
We often take 15 or more trunks on a trip!

The trunks of glasses fly as
luggage to our mission location.

At the host church people register,
and then go to the welcome & counseling area.
![Page 17: Vision & Dental Mission Clinics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568157e7550346895dc5625a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Next is a vision test -- both distance & close
vision.

Using special equipment and test glasses we find the
prescription needed.

A pair of glasses can change a
life. . .
. . . or several lives!
