The optometrists at Advantage Eye Care participate in Volunteer Optometrists Serving Humanity, Kentucky Chapter (VOSH-KY). VOSH-KY works with local and international Lions Clubs to help distribute glasses donated from Kentuckians to less fortunate people in the various countries we visit. Dr. Andrew Ward and his entire family have been going on international VOSH trips since the 1990’s. You can see many of these experiences in photo collages decoration the walls displayed at Advantage Eye Care.
These are some of the interesting photos we have taken through the years.
