FREE EYE EXAMS AND GLASSES FOR KIDS!Vision to Learn is a non-profit organization that gives free eye exams and glasses to children who need them. For six years the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley has been offering

its summer camp members the opportunity to have FREE eye screenings, exams and glasses from Vision to Learn. The three-step process includes eye screenings for all members. If a member fails the eye screening or currently wears glasses, they will then have a full eye exam in a mobile eye clinic with an Optometrist. The member will pick their own glasses and a few weeks later, Vision to Learn will return and fit the glasses to each member by an Optician.

Please complete the Consent form so your child can participate in this free service. Dates TBA.
