Eye van coming to RR July 26th
News Release
CNIB
Do you have diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration or a family history of eye disease? Are you experiencing abnormal vision? Contact your family doctor, optometrist or nurse practitioner for a referral to the CNIB Eye Van.
An ophthalmologist will examine your eyes onsite.
You may also be screened for diabetes or have your blood sugar checked if you are diabetic. The Northern Diabetes Health Network is offering diabetes education and screening services at the Eye Van location this year as part of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care’s Ontario Diabetes Strategy.
Appointments on the Eye Van are limited. Patients who need routine eye examinations or prescription glasses should see an optometrist. Priority is given to patients with medical eye concerns and referrals.
The Eye Van will visit Rainy River from July 26th to 29th. Contact your doctor or optometrist for a referral now! Appointments fill up quickly. Eye Van appointments are booked by Dianna Gamsby at 807-852-3222.
The Eye Van will be parked at the Rainy River Garage/Fire Hall, 6th St.
