FUMCOR estimated that they have helped fit glasses for over 3,000 patients using the KOM system.  They have been so impressed and grateful they have donated money towards new systems.  Vision Team Leader and Vision Clinic Coordinator for FUMCOR, Maxine Schultz stated “Thanks be to God that KOM is there to serve us and the Lord”.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
