Dr. Vu Leads Successful Mobile Clinic Event Providing Free Eye Exams to Underserved Community in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA – 5/2/24 – Last month, a team of dedicated volunteers, led by the esteemed Dr. Vu, came together at the Jordan Downs Center to offer free eye exams to individuals in need.

With her guidance, the team provided comprehensive eye exams to a total of 94 patients, contributing significantly to improving their vision and overall well-being.
The impact of Dr. Vu's leadership and the collective efforts of the volunteer doctors cannot be understated. Among the patients served, 85 individuals received prescription glasses through the Folsom VSP lab, ensuring they can experience the world with clarity and comfort. Additionally, 12 patients were referred for further specialized care, addressing conditions such as dry eyes, glaucoma, cataracts, high myopia, and more. These referrals are essential in providing comprehensive healthcare solutions to those in need.
"We cannot have mobile clinic events without volunteer doctors, so please know that we greatly appreciate you giving your time to work with us and help those in need see the world clearer," expressed Torreyana Tripette, event organizer at VSP VISION.
The success of this mobile clinic event underscores the importance of community collaboration and volunteerism in addressing healthcare disparities.
