Description

Vision to Learn is a nonprofit school-based vision programme that provides low-income students with screenings, comprehensive eye examinations, and free corrective glasses through mobile clinics and partner schools.

Components

  • Vision to Learn (VTL) school-based vision program: Vision to Learn is a non-profit, established in 2012, that partners with schools to provide free corrective lenses to low-income students. School nurses conduct screenings; a mobile eye clinic visits the school site, pediatric optometrists perform comprehensive exams after parental consent, students choose frames, and glasses are delivered to the school about two weeks later, with free replacement pairs. The program covers frames, lenses, exams, and administration at roughly $100 per child. (Dudovitz et al. (2016))
