Service Learning and Volunteerism

Opening Eyes is a comprehensive vision and eye health program put on by Special Olympics in conjunction with the AOA and supported by Lions Clubs International. Past SOLCIOE volunteers have reported Opening Eyes to be one of the most rewarding experiences of their careers.

The primary mission of SVOSH International is to facilitate the provision of vision care worldwide to people who can neither afford nor obtain such care.

Bedlam Clinic

As part of the Bedlam Clinic, we offer free diabetic eye exams to underprivileged people in the Tulsa area. We travel to Tulsa about 9-12 times a year, approximately once a month. This is a great opportunity to volunteer and gain additional clinical experience. There are no dues required for this club, all just volunteer based. Volunteer positions are limited to third and fourth year students. Various faculty members and residents volunteer to assist on different dates; there is not a specific mentor for this organization. There are two leadership positions available: Bedlam Clinic Coordinator and Bedlam Clinic Coordinator Elect. The elect position will transition to the regular position after one year.
