Oklahomans in and around Elgin and Altus can get a free eye exam this week thanks to Giving Sight Day, organized by the Oklahoma Association of Optometric Physicians. Dr. Karlee Dearman in Elgin is offering exams Friday, while Geiger Eye Care in Altus is booking appointments through Saturday. Both locations require appointments, so call ahead: (580) 454-1756 for Elgin, (580) 482-1756 for Altus.
The event doubles as a milestone for the association, which is celebrating 120 years of service to Oklahoma communities. Last year, participating clinics donated nearly $100,000 in eye care, and this year’s effort continues that mission for low-income residents who might otherwise go without an exam. Routine vision checks catch problems early, and for families watching every dollar, a free appointment can make all the difference.
Lawton-area listeners near Fort Sill and across southwest Oklahoma are encouraged to share the information with neighbors, coworkers, and anyone who’s been putting off a checkup. Spots are limited and go fast during events like this, so booking early is the smart move.
