> 80% of learning in a child comes through his eyes
‚Äã> Vision is the #1 concern of school teachers
> ‚Äã90% of children who need glasses do not have them
‚Äã> 78% of juvenile offenders have vision impairments, 56% have two or more vision impairments
The consequences are severe: A child who cannot see or read is likely to disturb the whole class and eventually drop out of school, earning less money and be at a greater risk for welfare and ultimately jail.
Together we can create a connection between vision and literacy/education that does not currently exist. If we can give all our children a good vision by 3rd grade we can dramatically help them develop a better life, with more opportunity.
Financial support to provide vision services including vision screening, eye exams and prescription glasses to elementary school children in predominantly Title 1 school districts in North Texas
