gets camera
The McKinney Morning Pride Lions Club has received a donation of a retinal camera for its community eye clinic from Drs. Rudolf Churner and Sanjay Patel, local ophthalmologists.
“The camera, valued at more than $20,000, is used to detect retinopathies - diseases of the retina - such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration,” says Dr. Paul Degenaer, local optometrist, a Lions member and a director of the board of the Organ and Eye Bank for the 2E2 District of Lions International.
McKinney Morning Pride Lions Club opened the eye clinic last year to serve members of the community with limited financial resources to manage health and eye care.
The clinic is open once a week, at 9 a.m. Thursdays, sees patients by appointment.
For a minimal fee, eye examinations and eye glasses can be provided to Collin County residents.
Lions Clubs throughout the area support the program by purchasing vouchers to distribute to individuals who cannot afford to pay the fee for the exam and eyeglasses.
