Well, the fun has begun! Day One of Onesight Richmond 2009 is history. We saw 155 wonderful children today, and fit 92 pair of glasses. Many were made on sight in Iris, our mobile Vision Van, and the rest were shuttled to be created at our nearby LensCrafters store.
The kids were terrific! So many of them touched our hearts. Associate Yessica Zuniga was especially moved by a little boy who she saw at dilation. He was holding his taped together glasses (missing a temple) on his face. We came to find out that his prescription was a minus six! And many of us fell for Leon, a precocious and adorable 6 six old, who even though he told us he didn't really like girls, agreed to pose with associate Michelle Dorm, sporting his newly selected eyewear. I will never forget Themon, another young man who looked fairly worried throughout clinic, but broke into a big smile, showing off his new frames. Tomorrow is another day, and we look forward to many more children and many more stories. Check back soon!
