We started doing elementary school vision screenings with our local Rotary Club of Arlington Heights and our colleagues at the Palatine Walmart in 2019. We have now engaged other optometrists in the area to help us. Dr. Wood was at Kimball Hill Elementary School in Rolling Meadows today and we were able to screen and give glasses prescriptions to 14 children.
