In May 2016, Vision To Learn established a permanent program to serve students throughout the Baltimore City Public School System. Vision To Learn will provide eye exams and glasses to K-8 kids at 50 public schools in the 2016-17 school year, and serve every child in need throughout the District within three years—meaning over 8,000 kids will receive glasses in the first three years of the program.
This project was developed in close partnership with the Baltimore City Health Department, which is responsible for vision screening students in BCPSS, and the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, which has agreed to perform an in-depth research study analyzing the program.
