“Those who refresh others
will themselves be refreshed.”

Proverbs 11:25

Every day we are humbled by our patients.  By the things they do.  The things they witness.  The things they see.

From soldiers returning from war to octogenarians enjoying life’s golden years. From hard-working professionals to parents raising kids.  We are honored to serve each and every one of you.

You allow us to be successful.  In our success, we are compelled to give back to our community.  We do so through our involvement in a variety of programs.

• EYE – Claris is a supporter of the Early Youth Eyecare program (EYE) that provides free vision screenings for thousands of public school children.  EYE is a program of the Phillips Eye Foundation.  Claris contributes a portion of its clinic time to seeing patients in this program.

• Community Eye Screenings – Claris provides free and reduced eye screenings at specially organized outreach events.  This includes participating in the September 19, 2009 Jubilee Celebration in Apple Valley Minnesota.

To learn more about how we give back, or to share your ideas with us, please contact us at 612.775.8009 or by email at info@clariseyecare.com.

JUBILEE CELEBRATION

Claris Eye Care & Surgery staff spent a beautiful day in Apple Valley participating in the Jubilee Celebration, an outreach event which allows those blessed with much to share with others less fortunate. We at Claris were able to provide glaucoma screening for everyone and identified some people with risk factors for glaucoma and other eye diseases. In some cases, we were able to recommend that they see their eye doctor for follow up diagnosis and treatment.

It was a great opportunity to be outside and enjoy a warm, sunny fall day but even better, to be able to educate people about glaucoma and other eye diseases. We look forward to participating in other upcoming outreach events as they become available!

CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY

Through the Christmas season Claris Eye Care & Surgery collected toys for children attending Time for Tots preschool.  Time for Tots, a Christian pre-school for 4 year olds, provides a safe, structured environment for learning for children from a variety of backgrounds in the Phillips Neighborhood. 

We delivered the wrapped gifts on the day of their Christmas program.  The children were filled with joy when they discovered presents had been left under the tree.  Thank you to all who gave.
