Dr. Maxwell Olumba - Texas State Optical - Corinthian Pointe "As an immigrant to the United States, I came from a country where resources and freedoms were limited. Growing up in the U.S. truly helped me to appreciate how fortunate I was. From the time my own children were old enough to understand, I've taught them that one of the most precious things in life was opportunity. I support Optometry Giving Sight because this organization opens the door for a successful life, versus another generation of hopelessness. I believe OGS truly impacts young lives and makes a difference in this world. The World Sight Day Challenge is fast approaching. I encourage all doctors of Texas State Optical and their staff to participate in this worthy program because few things are as precious as an opportunity."
