Optometry Village Travel, January-February

The BBAHC Optometry Department is excited to be visiting Togiak in January and New Stuyahok in February! Dr. Jessica Lynch, Optometrist and Gabby Andrew, Optometry Office Coordinator, are both ready to assist you with any vision care needs you may have.   The Optometry Department helps patients with the management of eye disease and conditions of the eye; conducts comprehensive eye examinations for adults and children; makes surgical referrals and management; provides contact lens evaluations; and completes special testing and select specialty services. BBAHC is a full-service optical dispensary and can even make spectacle repairs.   Do you have a school-aged child or a younger child that has not received a vision screening yet? Please see our Vision Screening Handout that provides valuable information to parents about the importance of vision screening. For an appointment to see one of our optometrists, please call (907) 842-9362.
