On Saturday, August 15th, 2015, Vista Eye Care held its first annual Back-to-School Eyewear Expo.  Our event featured numerous frame vendors, prizes, balloon animals, and best of all, free BBQ from Thornton’s own Over-the-Fence BBQ!  The event was designed to promote children’s eye care and we were super-successful in our efforts.  We performed eye exams on 15 kids under 17 years of age, getting them ready for school!  Here are some pictures from our event:

Dr. Melissa Vanray is known as a great baker of all of things sweet and tasty! She and Dr. Deanna Pedroza stayed up late the night before the Eyewear Expo to decorate these eyeball cookies.
