Meet Toby! 👓

Toby has been relying on off-the-shelf glasses from the chemist, but they're no longer cutting it for him. He needs proper prescription glasses to ensure he can read comfortably. Plus, when he's not working, Toby loves gaming! He even brought in his own frames because he's attached to them – he just needs the lenses sorted, and that's where we step in.

If you know someone who needs a new pair of glasses for everyday or leisure use, we've got their back. Spread the word and let them know about us! We're here to help at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Together, we can make sure no one feels left behind when it comes to clear vision! 🌟

Meet Judith! 👓

Judith visited us because her glasses from 5 years ago weren't doing the trick anymore. After examination, we discovered she had developing cataracts, which explained her declining vision. Thankfully, it's not severe enough to require surgery yet – a relief for Judith! We're providing her with two pairs of glasses on the house because we believe she truly needs both, especially for driving and reading her mobile.

If you know someone experiencing vision changes like Judith, let them know we're here to help at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St! Spread the word and help make the world a better place, one clearer vision at a time! 🌟

Meet Matt! 👓

Matt paid us a visit, likely persuaded by Jody (remember her from last week's post!). He didn't have any specific concerns but wanted to ensure his eyes were healthy. To his surprise, he found out he needed reading glasses. Despite some initial hesitation, he decided to give them a try, realizing how much they improved his vision without strain. We're confident he'll love his new glasses!

If you know someone who might be ignoring vision issues like headaches and squinting, "drag" them in like Jody did with Matt! Encourage them to come in for an eye test with us at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Assure them we'll take excellent care of them! Spread the word! 🗣️

Meet Jody! 👓

Despite facing multiple eye surgeries before the age of eight to correct her lazy eyes caused by past trauma, Jody remains resilient. Today, she visited us experiencing difficulties with small print and reading on her mobile. The joy on her face while choosing frames was priceless, eagerly awaiting the day she can see clearly again! Just look at that radiant smile! 😊

If you know someone who needs an eye test, spread the word about us! We offer free glasses for those in need at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Your recommendation could change someone's life! Let's make a difference together! 🌟

Shoutout to Yasmin! 🌟

This week, we're incredibly thankful for Yasmin, who generously volunteered her time to support us at the clinic this week. She played a crucial role in selecting frames for our patients, ensuring they found the perfect fit, and even helped organise their cases and labels to ensure accuracy.

If you're inspired by Yasmin's dedication and want to make a difference like she did today, we'd love to have you volunteer with us too! Drop us a message in our inbox to get involved and spread the word! 🙌

Meet Kay! 👓

Kay used to struggle with tiredness and headaches while reading, often experiencing blurry vision and difficulty focusing up close. On top of that, she battled watery and dry eyes, a result of blepharitis (inflamed eyelids) and dry eye syndrome. We stepped in to assist her with a pair of custom-made prescription reading glasses and offered advice on lid hygiene and eye drops to keep her eyes comfortable all day long!

Kay discovered our services through a flyer and wants to encourage others facing similar challenges to seek help too!

If you know someone who could benefit from our assistance, let them know we're located at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Spread the word! 🗣️

In just one day, we served 12 amazing individuals, providing glasses for 11 of them! 💖

Last week, our team from John's Vision Inc visited the Northcliffe family and community center.

Moses and Michelle met people facing immense challenges - from financial barriers to simply being unable to drive to get the care they need. One patient hadn't had their eyes checked in over a decade, despite needing glasses with a prescription of -5.00! 😔

But amidst these challenges, there were moments of hope. We identified a glaucoma suspect and referred two patients for specialised care. And of course, Moses even had a little fun playing footy with some emus at Pemberton Oval! 😄

None of this would be possible without your support. Thank you for being a part of our mission! 🌟

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at John's Vision?

Today, we're lifting the curtain to give you an exclusive look into the heart of our mission. 💙

Meet Christopher, our first patient of the year. For years, he struggled with vision issues, never quite finding the time to address it. Blurriness in his right eye, a persistent film over it, and headaches from using chemist readers for close work – challenges he faced silently until now.

Our optometrist volunteer, Syafiq, stepped in today, unravelling the layers of Christopher's vision concerns. Together, they dove into the root of the issue, paving the way for a clearer, brighter future.

Christopher gave us his permission to share this photo and his story with you! He's not just on a personal journey to better sight but also on a mission to spread awareness about the importance of eye tests.
