Back to School!

“Johnathan, with the white framed glasses, is a fourth grader at St. Raphael School. He has struggled academically but has always worked hard toward accomplishing his goals. Not only have the Vision to Learn glasses improved his sight, but they have also given him a boost of confidence because in his words they’re just so cool! No one would have expected him to choose the white framed lenses, but now he stands out in the best way possible and is proud to wear them every day! He is so grateful to Vision to Learn for his new glasses.”
Mrs. Allison Hurtt, Principal
St. Raphael School, Los Angeles, CA

Vision To Learn also provided eye screenings, exams, and glasses at community events in all 13 states, where Vision To Learn operates.

Thank you!

Thank you for supporting Vision To Learn as we help students across the country receive the glasses they need to see clearly.

We continue to grow! This year Vision To Learn begins full-time service to schools in Charlotte, NC and Pittsburgh, PA. In Michigan, we are adding a second clinic to help kids in Flint, South Redford, and Grand Rapids, as Vision To Learn expands across the Wolverine State.
