On Feb. 9, the Kentucky College of Optometry (KYCO) hosted its first free vision screening to both the UPIKE community and general public in the HPE 6th floor lobby. Overall, KYCO completed 50 screenings.
“I was very excited to be able to open up to both the university and general community of Pikeville being a new school at UPIKE. I hope this will begin a yearly tradition of free vision screenings,” Rachel Fitzgerald, O.D., senior instructor of optometry, said.
“This was a great opportunity to give back to the community and show what we as students have learned so far in our classes,” Garrett Kee, KYCO student, said about the experience.
