On Saturday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Lions Club of Yavapai County will bring eye care services through their mobile doctor’s office to Camp Verde community members.
The Lions Mobile Eye Care Van is a fully equipped eye doctor’s examination room used by volunteer eye doctors to give screening eye exams and write prescriptions for eyeglasses. It is the mission of Lions Clubs to use this mobile doctor’s office to bring eye care services to all of Yavapai County, with particular emphasis on residents 19 years and older who lack the means for, or access to, eye care services.
Yavapai County residents with a monthly or annual income level at or below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level can qualify for free eye exams, eye care and glasses. Guidelines for qualifying monthly income levels range from one person per household with an income of $1,800 or less per month to four persons per household with an income of $3,697 or less per month.
It’s easy to apply. Applications, complete details and help are offered at Camp Verde Community Library. There are 22 appointments available.
