Vision care is a critical yet often inaccessible necessity for metro Detroit’s more than 40,000 homebound residents. Eye Care for Detroit brings comprehensive eye care directly to these vulnerable community members, providing vital services like eye exams, prescription updates, and early detection of sight-threatening conditions. To expand its mobile care services, it is requesting financial support and in-kind donations of ophthalmology and optometry equipment, as well as new or lightly used eyeglasses from the philanthropic community. One example is Dr. Thomas J. Schaperkotter, an optometrist who served the communities of Charlevoix and St. Ignace for 47 years, has donated his entire suite of modern optometry equipment and nearly 600 pairs of high-quality frames to ECFD.
