LEARN ABOUT THIS GREAT PROGRAM!
The ACVO/StokesRx National Service Animal Eye Exam event is a philanthropic 
effort generously provided to the public by participating board certified 
Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists who donate 
their time, staff and services to provide complimentary screening eye exams 
to qualified Service Animals.

This program would not be successful without the generosity of our 
Diplomates and the financial support of our namesake sponsor, Stokes 
Pharmacy, and other valuable sponsors.

Over 52,000 qualified Service Animals have received these free screening 
exams over the past nine years. Please participate and support our 
ophthalmologists and sponsors to ensure this program continues for future 
years to come. Read full press release here.
