Eye Thrive

The ability to navigate the world with clear vision shouldn't be a luxury, but Eye Thrive recognizes the extensive barriers - including expense, time, and transportation - that prevent too many families from accessing eye care for their children. Our flagship program, a Mobile Vision Clinic, was developed to effectively eliminate these barriers by providing free comprehensive eye exams and new prescription glasses made and delivered on-site to kids at their schools and community centers, in less than an hour.

As a uniquely mission-driven organization, Eye Thrive believes in meeting every child exactly where they are, going above and beyond to provide the best continuity of care to populations that are more likely to have negative interactions with healthcare providers. Kids are greeted by a positive, trauma-informed member of the team, and encouraged to empower themselves by asking questions and making their own frame decisions from the wide selection of designer choices on-board.

The Mobile Vision Clinic's additional features and wraparound services include: school vision screenings to identify children with possible vision impairment ahead of Mobile Vision Clinic visits, duplicate pairs of glasses for children with identified additional needs and/or high prescriptions, referrals to specialist providers - with staff follow up to navigate scheduling - for children identified as having eye health or vision concerns that need additional care, and unlimited, no-questions-asked replacement glasses shipped directly to the home or school of any child that breaks or loses their glasses.
