The Testing

The Emperors Palace conference facility will be turned into an over-sized Optometric Practice for a day. The kids will be screened and examined. Where needed, spectacles will be dispensed on-site. The adjoining rooms will be the virtual ‘production line’ of Optometry. Our generous sponsors will fit the facility with state-of-the-art equipment, while our Optoms have graciously given of their time to work some magic. Everyone working for a greater cause.  Getting good eyecare to the kids that need it most. Smiling faces and good vision is going to be the order of the day!

Making it unforgettable!

The kids will be bussed in from their respective homes from 8:00am. They will be ushered into the Assembly room at Emperors Palace, which will be completely geared towards keeping them entertained for the duration of their experience. Video games, giant screens with animated movies and playing areas for mass participation games, will be set up for their enjoyment. Between playing and eating, they will be tested in alphabetical order according to their home. When the day is done, they will leave with more than product and spectacles. They will leave with unforgettable memories…and great vision!
