Empowering Chicago Families\u2014One Vision at a Time.<\/h2>\n

For many local children and families, the start of a new school year is a mix of excitement and challenge. Our goal is to equip every student with the tools and care they need to succeed. At this year\u2019s event, we offered free vision screenings and interactive wellness education right in the heart of the community.<\/p>\n

With support from dedicated volunteers and team members, we screened 57 children onsite\u2014ensuring families would know where their children\u2019s eye health stands before the first bell rings. It was inspiring to see so many families participate in our vision screening, and incredibly rewarding to help kids get back-to-school ready with the gift of clear sight. Everyone who completed a screening received a gift bag featuring EyeQLenz\u2122 with Zenni ID Guard\u2122<\/a> glasses engraved with uplifting quotes to help kids feel confident and proud to wear their glasses. EyeQLenz\u2122 with Zenni ID Guard\u2122<\/a> filters UV and blue light, reduces glare, and helps disrupt unwanted tracking technology.<\/p>\n
