In June and July, AUA's Garo Meghrigian Institute for Preventive Ophthalmology (Meghrigian Institute) of the College of Health Sciences conducted annual eye screenings among socially vulnerable and orphaned children. Sixty-six children at the Mary Ismirlyan Orphanage were screened for various types of refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Children with eye diseases received medical assistance from the Meghrigian Institute.
