Raising Awareness of Children’s Eye Health: A Closer Look at ‘Let’s Go See’ Campaign

The “Let’s Go See’” Campaign was designed to bring children in need free eye exams and glasses.

Visionworks and Davis Vision’s Let’s Go See campaign is a national movement to raise awareness of the importance of annual eye exams for children as part of their yearly health routine. Between dental checkups, doctor’s exams, and everything else we do to keep our kids healthy, it&’s easy to forget about our children’s vision. Many parents wait until their child has expressed an issue with their vision before taking them for an eye exam, but according to Prevent Blindness America, 1 in 4 school-aged children in the United States have a vision problem, which if left untreated can affect learning ability, personality, and adjustments in school. 

Now in the program’s third annual year, Visionworks and Davis Vision are donating 15,000 comprehensive eye exams and complete pairs of glasses to children in need. Their goal is single-focused: they want children to get annual eye exams. Every child. Every year. They’re giving out vouchers good for a free eye exam and glasses. If you don’t have vision insurance or Medicaid,aren’t signed up for ACA, and can’t afford an eye exam and glasses, or if you know of a school or organization that has children who could benefit, apply for a free voucher by nominating them at letsgosee.net. The eye exams and glasses are available through the use of a voucher, redeemable for a comprehensive eye exam as well as a pair of $69.95 children’s frames with polycarbonate lenses.
