man by the hand and begged him to touch him. And when
he had spit on his eyes and put his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then he put his hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. Matthew 8:22-25

This vision clinic patient was nearly blind. He had to bring his eyes this close to his paperwork just to fill it out. Now he has new glasses and can see clearly.

On the left and right, vision clinic patient Leah Wojtysiak receives an eye exam from volunteer optometrist Dr. John Merslich.

The clinic operates every Monday, and the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, seeing up to six patients in the evening. Qualified individuals receive an eye health exam and glasses. The clinic is staffed by volunteer professional optometrists and frames are donated by the Olympia Host Lions Club.
For more information or to make an appointment, please contact Violet Hofman at (360) 709-9725.

Although our volunteer doctors don’t heal the same way Jesus did, they can use the miracle of modern science to bring clear vision to those who otherwise might have to struggle just to see the words on a job application, or to read a road sign because they can’t afford vision care. The goal of our new clinic is to restore hope and help rebuild the lives of those whose poor vision is a stumbling block to employment, driving, or other life tasks most of us take for granted.
