LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Over 200 citizens who participated in last month’s “Eyes of Hope” Free Vision Care Event will have the opportunity to receive their much-needed prescription eyeglasses.

Senator Gerald Boudreaux announced that glasses will be available for pickup tomorrow, March 6, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Downtown Convention Center located at 124 South Buchanan St.

This initiative, which has provided essential vision care services to underserved community members, was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Optometry Association of Louisiana, VSP Eyes of Hope, Sun Wellness Resource Center and leadership of Senator Gerald Boudreaux.

The “Eyes of Hope” event aimed to bridge the gap in access to eye care by offering free eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to individuals who may not have had the resources to obtain them otherwise. The success of this event underscores the power of community partnerships in making a meaningful impact on public health.

Recipients are encouraged to visit the Downtown Convention Center during the designated pickup hours to collect their glasses or call 337-849-8987 for more information.
