Vision To Learn is making sure that access to a pair of glasses never stands between children and their ability to see the board, read a book, or participate in class. It is such a cost-effective yet powerful way to improve a child’s learning experience and make sure they do not fall behind. Vision To Learn helps some of the hardest-to-reach children and your donations will mean more students receiving the eye care and glasses they need to learn and live clearly.

Helping Young Students Get the Eyeglasses They Need to Succeed

Providing glasses to students with vision issues really is among the low-hanging fruits of educational interventions. The problem is simple to understand, easy to remedy, and Vision To Learn has been very successful executing that remedy. 

Heading into 2025, Vision To Learn (VTL) and Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles announced a groundbreaking new initiative to provide all 19,000 children in the Compton Unified School District with comprehensive eye care at no cost to the children or their families. 

But more than anything, VTL is seeking funding for their core operation, expanding their fleet of mobile clinics that are the base for their free eye exams and servicing an expanding number of school districts. The program is as strong as ever, and they’ll keep going to ensure that no student is left in the dark.
