Vision To Learn

The 2023-24 school year in #Connecticut was an eventful one! We've provided over 5,000 vision screenings, 1,800 eye exams, and 1,600 glasses to children across the state all at no cost to the child or their family. One of the students who received glasses was Levi, a 2nd grader from Center Road School. Here's what his mother had to say about getting glasses from Vision To Learn: "Vision To Learn has provided my son, Levi, with an amazing opportunity to receive necessary vision care. Even though we attended all pediatric appointments, no concerns with Levi's vision were ever brought to my attention. In second grade he began to struggle with reading and was performing significantly below grade level. Thank goodness Vision To Learn came to Levi's school and completed a screening and eye exam! Since receiving his glasses his academics have greatly improved, and he has moved up six reading levels! We will forever be grateful to Vision To Learn for an incredibly easy and accessible experience!" #nonprofit #childrensvision #visiontolearn #helpingothers #mobilehealth #mobileeyecare #vernonct

Our first year in #Oregon has been an eventful one! We've provided nearly 5,000 vision screenings, over 1,800 eye exams, and more than 1,400 glasses to children across the state all at no cost to the child or their family. Here's what students from a 3rd grade class in #portland had to say about receiving a brand-new pair of glasses: Ally's Letter: Thank you for getting me glasses for reading. It was very nice of you guys to do that and not have us pay for it. The glasses are working very well for me. I heard it's working good for others too. These glasses are very helpful and pretty. I like to wear cute outfits with them a lot. So thank you very much for the glasses. Leo's Letter: Thank you for the glasses they are really helping me see better for reading and seeing far distances. They're very cool! I like the frames. I was happy to wear them because I see better. Elizabeth's Letter: Dear Vision To Learn, thank you for checking if my eyes need glasses. It was fun when I got to see all of Rhode Island on the TV. It was fun when I got to choose my own color of glasses for me. And when I got to try them on and when I got to play with the toy that you guys had. Thank you so much and know I could see better. Thank you again.
