James is now wearing glasses and goes to an eye care professional for regular eye exams to check his progress. Thanks to the detection of his vision problem at a certified Prevent Blindness America vision screening, James will have a chance to be a star on the field and at school.
Unfortunately, vision problems in the classroom are often mistaken for learning problems. As with Valentin, some kids cannot complete their work simply because they cannot see properly. Thanks to early vision screenings conducted by Prevent Blindness America and its affiliates, problems can be found and treated during the crucial years for learning and development.
"Thank you so much for being the first people to detect a problem with Ty’s vision. We had absolutely no idea that anything was wrong before the free eye screening at his preschool. We are so lucky that you provide this free service!"
