Please Register for Giving Sight Day 2022 |
|
Giving Sight Day is the OAOP's annual “day of service” for Oklahoma optometrists to give back to their communities by performing free eye exams. It will take place on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 9 AM (although some practices choose a different day and time to participate). The purpose of this event is to increase access to vision care for Oklahomans in-need, to engender goodwill in our communities, and to introduce potentially new patients to the importance of good vision care. Please participate!
