Updated List of Services:
hey y'all! been getting a lot of DMs about eye exams, and i unfortunately still cannot offer those. this thread will be the list of everything that Optical Bloc still can offer (while funding lasts)
// around 2 weeks before the eye exam day to let you know that we will be able to fit you into the schedule!
it's a wonky system, by no means a perfect one, but we do want to keep this resource accessible to the community. thank you!
FYI - our next eye exam + glasses day is scheduled for 5/21, 1-4.
if you missed out this time, or know of someone who needs this service, please DM. we cannot guarantee a spot, as priority goes to our houseless neighbors and shelter residents.
thank you all, as always.
another eye exam day = DONE! we will reach out to all involved when the glasses come back.
as always, an enormous thank you to the optometrists, optometry students, and other volunteers who continue to help make these days possible. and thank you to our wonderful patients <3
we usually get a confirmed number of houseless patients/shelter residents ~2 wks before the exam day. once we have that, we will begin sorting through twitter DMs. if you DM us and want a spot and you are not houseless/a shelter resident, we will add you to a list and reach out//

again, everyone can get a ~free~ pair of glasses from this! but they take some time to make & distribute. the lenses do not have an anti-reflective coating, so no warranty. but if you break them we'll do what we can to help fix them.
while we're on here: the latest round of free glasses from the January eye exam day are ready!
they are also....in hillsboro. will retrieve them and distro them when the roads allow. thank you for your patience!
sometimes i am responsible.
and sometimes i am just a person with the login info for this account who worked in optometry for years and still just rubbed Goldfish dust into my eye.
IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GRAB ITEMS FOR THIS FUNDRAISER
due to inactivity and lack of funds coming in, this fundraiser will be closing down on March 1st.
ALL proceeds will be going to the legal funds of Raven & an anonymous Black protestor.
special thank you to @NightOwl_Custom
@efnord@CZEdwards typically stressing the need for a computer distance Rx is enough? i'm sorry y'all are having these issues! some folks have luck w/ computer progressives more than single vision computer glasses as well, as the progressives let you comfortably look at things say, across the room.
