A “specs”-tacular day in #georgia👓
@visiontolearn was joined today by @senossoff at @gwinnettlibrary`s Norcross Branch where he helped us provide 30 kids with glasses!
Today`s event highlighted the need to provide vision care for public school children and celebrated a $400,000 federal grant championed by Senator Ossoff in this year`s bipartisan government funding package. With the funds, Vision To Learn will expand access to eye exams and glasses to children in Georgia.

Fewer than 1 in 5 school aged children in California had an eye exam in 2021 or 2022.
Those are the findings released by @childrennow, a leading advocacy group for children`s health issues in #california, as part of their annual trend-tracking chartbook. This matches closely with what we see on the ground every day and highlights the importance of programs like @visiontolearn that go directly to schools and community organizations to provide children with vision screenings, eye exams and glasses.
This year alone our California teams have provided over 73,000 vision screenings, 31,000 eye exams, and 26,000 pairs of glasses to children across the state all at no cost to the child or their family.

Say hello to Gannon! 👓
Our #georgia team met this amazing 3rd grader earlier this year. We noticed him in class squinting at the board and after one of our opticians conducted an initial vision screening, we discovered that he needed an eye exam.
We arranged for Gannon to visit our mobile clinic where our optometrist found that Gannon did in fact need glasses.
At first, Gannon was not excited about the prospect of wearing glasses, because he was worried about how his classmates would react. After he got to choose his own frames and tried them out for the first time those fears vanished. His mother even shared with us that having glasses gave Gannon a new sense of confidence, because he no longer struggled to see.
When we asked Gannon the best part about having glasses, he said, "I can see!"
