This does not require that you be an optical professional. We can train anybody to do this.
We need Louisville, Ky area volunteers to measure glasses. We provide equipment, supplies and training in your home. Glasses measured with be checked and verified by an employee of KOM. If there are any measurement errors, we will explain them to you and work with you to get them corrected.
Kendall Optometry Ministry (KOM) ships nearly 100,000 measured used prescription glasses to teams traveling to countries all over the world. These glasses are provided free to impoverished people in these countries.
The equipment will either be attached to your own PC or we can provide a PC if required. Most people only work 3-4 hours each week measuring about 150-200 pairs.
It is necessary that the volunteer live in the Louisville, Kentucky area.
