WashU Medicine Free Eye Service

The WashU Medicine Free Eye Service is a student-run mobile eye clinic dedicated to expanding access to quality eye care for underserved communities in St. Louis. Founded by medical students Isa Gomes (M3), Selam Zenebe-Gete (M2), and Jacob Strelnikov (M4), with the support of faculty advisor Dr. Erin Sieck, the clinic provides free vision screenings, eye exams, and referrals for further care when needed.
