SCCO Gives the Gift of Sight
 A team of SCCO students and faculty provided care to
Sisters of the Trinitarians orphanage in Mt. Tabor, Mexico. The group, led by Assistant Professor Judy Tong, O.D., '91, was able to administer 58 eye exams
in the one-day trip, and 53 pairs of glasses were ordered. Essilor Labs donated the lenses and various
other SCCO vendors and volunteers generously contributed materials. The trip provided an opportunity for members of the SCCO community to show their dedication to the profession and to helping improve the quality of life for those less fortunate. |
