Help a Child See Clearly

Clear eyesight plays a critical role in our ability to learn, communicate, and contribute to our community. Yet, 1 in 4 children has a vision impairment that limits their ability to see clearly and can easily cause them to fall behind their peers.

Funding a school to help children thrive through access to clear eyesight is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Identify children with the greatest risk for vision impairment through annual school-based vision screenings.
2. Licensed optometrists provide children with a comprehensive eye exam to diagnose their vision impairment. We bring care directly to children with optical Prime, our mobile eye clinic.
3. Children receive prescription glasses to treat their vision impairment. Each child chooses a pair of frames that suits their own personal style.

3 out of every 5 children with a vision impairment lack access to eye care and prescription glasses to treat their vision impairment. 

Your donation during A Community Thrives will screen children for vision impairment, follow up with comprehensive eye exams, and provide prescription glasses to help children see clearly.
