Plano is grateful for the service from our Youth Connection high school interns and UAB School of Optometry extern, as they assisted our staff in providing much needed vision care for our Chicagoland community. We continued providing eye exam service on and offsite for the By the Hand Club students. We provided several free vision screenings at health fairs, also. We look forward to providing vision education presentations for those interested in learning more about eye health and vision as it relates to learning any behavior. Please contact us at 773-924-5297 for request and additional information.

Remembering Linda Larson, Plano’s loyal, compassionate and excellent optician years of service. As she rest in peace she will be remembered by the staff and patients whose lives she touched. https://www.daleidenmortuary.com/m/obituaries/linda-larson-18/Memories

Thanks to all who attended and or supported Plano’s 49th Annual Open House Benefit at Plano. From our State Senator Mattie Hunter and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to honoring our Most Outstanding Vision Therapy Progress Awardee children, it was enjoyed by all. On behalf of Plano’s board of director’s we announced the plans for a reimagined rehab project at our current location. Our guest not only experienced free vision screenings but vision education on eye diseases by ICO’s NOSA students. Dr. Stephanie provided a vision and learning presentation followed by attendees trying some of the vision therapy routines. Finally our raffle was a highlight of the event.

Plano not only provided vision screenings for Fellowship Chicago’s Wellness Fair but also for Trinity’s First Ladies Health Initiative at Imani Village last month. In our office we welcomed the By the Hand Englewood after school program students for vision exams. Thanks to our CCO Midwestern extern, Althea Aquino for her assistance in providing this service.

Thanks to the Perfect Vision Vision campaign for including Plano on their pioneers in vision care access banner.
