Are there any free eye exams in greene county

I'm 55 years old worked my whole adult life in the construction trade raised a family of 4. Kids have moved away, wife left me, lost contracts for home buildings. Lost my home can't find work, no insurance. And for the past six months I haven't been able to see because the only pair of glasses I had fell off my face and were crushed in the power lawn mower. I tried to crazy glue the lens together but I got triple vision from the cracks .

Call a local eye doctor or two to find out the Lions Cub contact's name and phone number, or figure out the Lions Club info on your own. They fund free eye exams if a person qualifies. It sounds like you would qualify.

Thank you wondergirl. I'll do that.

If all else fails and you can't connect to the Lions Club, call and ask for help from Reference at your local public library. I'm a librarian and know libraries have their fingers on the pulse of the world!
