We are grateful to the American Legion Auxiliary for their generous donation toward purchasing a special camera called the Zeiss Clarus 500. This advanced camera takes detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina), helping Dr. Tomlinson detect and monitor eye diseases like diabetes-related eye problems, glaucoma, and age-related vision loss. The camera is easy to use and doesn’t require any injections, making it more comfortable for patients. With this technology, Dr. Tomlinson can catch eye and health issues early, plan better treatments, and track changes over time—leading to improved eye and overall health for our patients.

In the photo, Chloe, Optician (left), is presented with a check from (left to right) Chris, Judy, Dar, Char, and Rosi from the Wabasha American Legion Auxiliary Unit 50.

If you would like to learn more or are interested in making a donation, please call (651) 565-5559. Thank you for your support!
