Glasses provide an immediate and positive impact on kids with correctable vision problems, helping them do better in school and improving their confidence. We provide thousands of low-income children with professional exams and glasses each year at no cost to their families.
Eye care for low-income children
How it works
STEP 1
Set up a consultation
We’ll work with you to set the perfect date and arrange all the details to provide on-site professional eye exams when and where we’re needed.
Step 2
Exam day
Our mobile clinic brings with it all the equipment and a large selection of glasses so that we can take care of everything on site. Our licensed opticians provide complete eye exams, glasses fitting and repair. Contact lenses too!
Step 3
Follow-up
Proper eye care is essential to overall health. We’d love to see students again for a follow-up clinic each year which can be booked at any time.
Eye care for children with special needs
Lydia Iyegbu, Optometric Assistant
"It's actually a beautiful experience when you see a child come in after the exam. They're all smiling and they feel excited. You hear some of them say, “Oh, I didn't know that was blue!!” That expression they have? It just gives us joy. These are kids who may never have had an eye exam. When they see -- it's exciting!"
Jen (Calgary, Alberta)
"I love this company because I know that by buying from them they also give back to the community. They have a school program where they go and test children's eyes and provide glasses for kids that don't normally have them that would have trouble seeing so I love that they give back. And it's super convenient for me and great prices with lots of variety. Good service too."
Anjelica (Calgary, Alberta)
"It was a great experience trying on glasses at work and having Louise come and fit them there. And I love that their buy glasses and give glasses program helps low-income children and seniors get new glasses too."
