Cambridge Students Given Glasses as part of Vision To Learn
CAMBRIDGE, OH – Students at Cambridge Primary School were delighted to try on and see clearly with their brand new glasses today. The glasses were provided through a unique collaboration between the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, Ohio Optometric Foundation and nonprofit provider Vision To Learn, which together will use a mobile vision clinic to provide school-site vision care to thousands of students in Appalachian Ohio in the years to come.
An estimated 45,000 children in Southeastern Ohio go to school every day without the glasses they need to see the board, read a book, or participate in class. Through this collaboration, thousands of students attending Title I schools in districts throughout the region will be provided a vision screening, eye exam, and – if needed – a pair of glasses, all free of charge.
