👓 Clear vision can make a big difference in the classroom and at home.

Adrian’s family never realized he was struggling to see clearly because he never complained about his vision. After receiving an eye exam and glasses through the Vision Care Voucher Program, everything changed.

💬 “I am glad I took him.”

Now, Adrian is seeing better, feeling more confident, and excited about the glasses he picked out himself. Early detection and access to care help children succeed in school and everyday life.

✨ Your support helps children like Adrian get the vision care they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

A new school year is here, and healthy vision plays an important role in helping children learn, read, and succeed in the classroom. Regular vision screenings and comprehensive eye exams can help identify concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed.

With more screen time during the school year, remind children to:
👀 Blink often
⏰ Take regular screen breaks
🌳 Get outside and play
📏 Keep screens at a comfortable distance
💡 Use screens in a well-lit space

It is back to school time! Let’s make sure their eyes are healthy, too!

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming more common in children. In fact, about 1 in 3 school-aged children has myopia.
