Optometrists can make a difference and change people’s lives by participating in Save Your Vision Month, sponsored by the American Optometric Association during the month of March.
Ohio optometrists can participate in several ways, such as donating a percentage or a day of eye exam fees, or donating $2-$5 per frame sold during March. Another way to support Save Your Vision Month is through a donation to the Ohio Optometric Foundation. Mail your check to: PO Box 6036, Worthington, OH 43085.
Additionally, donations can be made to Optometry Cares, the AOA Foundation, in support of Save Your Vision Month 2014. Mail to: Attn: Optometry Cares, SYVM, 243 N. Lindbergh Blvd., Floor 1, St. Louis, MO 63141.
Finally, optometrists can purchase a Save Your Vision Month Kit for $25 from AOA. The kit includes 25 wristbands, posters, stickers, balloons and other promotional material for your office. You can request an order form via email: .
