This World Health Day, vision care is essential, not a luxury. 🔵 43% of kids didn’t pass screenings (up from 38%) 🔵 142 referrals already this year 🔵 43% received two free pairs of glasses These are kids struggling to see and learn. We’re bringing care to them. #VisionCare

👁️ Amblyopia (“lazy eye”) can cause permanent vision loss if untreated past age 8—but caught early, it’s highly treatable. It’s one of the most common conditions we’re seeing. Thanks to Healthy Vision Association, we’re connecting kids to care before it’s too late. 💙

This Black History Month, we honor pioneers who expanded access to vision care despite systemic barriers. David McDonogh broke ground in eye care. Dr. Bess Coleman expanded representation in optometry. We proudly carry their legacy forward. #BlackHistoryMonth #HealthEquity
