Vision Screening
OUR ABOUT US
Every child deserves to see the future they are learning for.
A child may sit in a classroom every day without realizing that they cannot see clearly. They may struggle to read the board, copy notes, recognize words, or participate in class. They may be labelled as inattentive or struggling academically when the real problem is simply that they cannot see. For many children in underserved communities, an eye examination and a pair of prescription glasses can be difficult to access.
- We believe where a child lives should never determine how clearly they see their future.
- When children can see clearly, they can dream bigger, learn better and build brighter futures

In Children Vision problems often go unnoticed
Unlike adults, children may not recognize or communicate that they have difficulty seeing. A child struggling to read the board, follow lessons or complete schoolwork may simply be assumed to have learning difficulties.
They don't know what they're missing.
For many children, blurred vision is the only way they have ever experienced the world.
