MAY SIGHT SAVINGS EVENTS!!!
Vision Matters 2016:
Community Eye Health Day

SUNDAY, MAY 22

Join POB for a FREE special event, co-sponsored by The Beacon Newspapers, The Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington, Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, and Shady Grove Adventist Hospital.

Featuring an expert lecture by keynote speaker Michael M. Lai, M.D., Ph.D., called "The Remarkable Retina"

Dr. Lai, a physician for adult and pediatric patients at Retina Group of Washington, will explore the vital role of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of nerve tissue lining the inner eye) and why it is a most integral part of how we see - plus what to do if our retina is damaged.

Bring your questions and concerns for the open Q&A, when low vision specialist Adrianna Wiseman, O.D., will join Dr. Lai. Prior to the presentation, there will be free vision screenings beginning at 11 a.m. provided by POB.
