Twice a month at our Forest Park Blue Line outreach, Loyola optometrists volunteer their expertise to provide essential eye care to those experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. 

From vision screenings and glaucoma testing to distributing free reading glasses, these amazing professionals are helping our community members and making a significant difference.

Thank you to Loyola’s volunteer optometrists for bringing compassion and care to where it’s needed most.

Loyola Ophthalmology is part of the Loyola Street Medicine Team, which partners with The Night Ministry’s Outreach and Health programs.

CMS is an umbrella organization that encompasses the SM chapters at Loyola, UIC, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern Medicine.

Loyola Medicine officially became a chapter within the CSM in October 2021 and was established to provide quality healthcare and resources to individuals experiencing homelessness while maintaining an environment of dignity and respect.
