Vision of Hope

Certified Optician

October 2018 • Flint, MI

What I liked

I enjoyed reading people's glasses so I could tell the doctor the prescription for what they are wearing. Also enjoyed picking out a pair of glasses with them knowing that I am helping them to that they can see better. This was a volunteer day and it was such a great experience. Being able to help people in need and providing service for them with open arms. The Optician's Association of Michigan Board and the Vision of Hope worked together so that we could provide a free eye exam and a free pair of glasses.

What I wish was different

I wish we were able to see more people even though we did accommodate about 13 extra. I am definitely planning on doing something like this again.

Advice

Volunteer with a job that you already love doing. I love being an optician and the fact that I was able to help more people because I knew what I was doing is always a plus. It was a great day.
