UIW School of Optometry to receive funding for San Antonio eye care clinic

University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) School of Optometry - (what a strange name for a school!) is in line to receive $250,000 from the government to help pay for a new eye-care clinic on San Antonio's East Side.

The school would use the money to provide eye exams and vision services to under-served residents in East San Antonio. The planned eye care clinic is slated to open in the spring of 2010. Funding for the project was included in the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations bill, which recently passed the US House of Representatives, but still must still pass the US Senate
