Discount Eye Exams and Glasses - AGAIN!

Residents of Far Northern Israel - it's back! Here's another chance to get a really affordable eye exam and glasses if you missed it last week.

Tomorrow - Thursday, March 30, 2017 - you have another chance to get subsidized eye exams and glasses, once again in Chatzor Haglilit. You'll be able to get a pair of glasses - frames + lenses for just 100 shekels! There is an option to have this fee waived in case of need. Please send a text to 050-326-7501 to request a waiver.

The event will take place at Mercaz Ohel Moshe (this is a Matnas) on Rehov HaHistadrut in Chatzor. This event is sponsored by "Pitchon Lev" and "Ezra Ba'Re'iyah".

Eye exams are available from 10am - 8pm. If you have glasses already (even old ones - they will help narrow down what you need even if you need an updated prescription) or a prescription for new glasses, please bring them with you to save time.

Hope this helps some of you out there! There's been a lot of discussion about the cost of glasses lately.
 
I'm sure there will be similar programs in other towns - please let me know if you know of any!
