Vision To Learn: FREE GLASSES FOR KIDS!

Is your child between the ages of 4 and 18 and in need of a vision check?  Vision to Learn is bringing their mobile clinic to a local library, offering free eye exams and glasses to eligible school-aged children! Vision to Learn's convenient mobile clinic provides a comprehensive 15-20 minute eye exam conducted by a licensed optometrist, all without the need for dilation. If an eye exam reveals that your child needs glasses, they can select their frames on-site, and prescription glasses will be mailed directly to your home, free of charge. Appointments are required, so don't miss this opportunity to ensure your child has the clear vision they need to succeed in school and beyond.
