Kids Vision for Life addresses a frequently overlooked national crisis:
the number of U.S. schoolchildren who have unaddressed vision problems

According to experts, one in four children has a vision problem and, of those, 90% do not wear glasses. Children who cannot see well have difficulties reading and learning resulting in consequences for the child, society, and the economy.

When children can't see the white board during class, they disengage from learning and are more likely to drop out of school and get into trouble

Studies indicate as many as three out of four juvenile offenders have undetected or uncorrected vision problems. Likewise, ninety percent of illiterate adults have vision problems as well. One cannot help but wonder how the lives of individuals in these circumstances might have changed had they received vision care when they were young children.

Kids Vision for Life brings together non-profit organizations, schools, businesses, and community leaders to actively address it the issue.
