The Pacific North West (PNW) rain took a few hours off.
I was able to get use my telescope 🔭 enjoy the night sky and take a couple of photos from my front yard of M42 and the moon! I’m a Master Optician and geeky about optics ❤️. Bortle scale was about 5.8, so not bad. More to come! Pure Optics Phernell Walker

Everyone deserves access to eyecare, no matter their ZIP Code!

This past Saturday, I had the privilege of giving back to the Portland community through the VSP Vision Care Eyes of Hope mobile clinic.

As a Master Optician, it was an honor to use my skills to help patients and meet so many smiling faces, and help provide glasses for those in need. đź’™

There’s truly no better feeling than watching someone’s world come into focus—seeing their face light up as they put on new eyeglasses for the very first time. That moment is Pure Joy, and a reminder of why this work matters.

The VSP Vision Care Eyes of Hope clinic is more than just vision care—it’s a promise of hope for those who’ve gone without. I’m grateful VSP and Eyefinity for the chance to serve and give back to my community. 👓
