Vision To Learn

Last week, our mobile clinic pulled into the parking lot of the Powder Springs Library in Cobb County Georgia and our team provided free, comprehensive eye exams and glasses to children at no cost to their families.

Kids got to personally pick out their own very "fashionable" and "stylish" frames. In four to six weeks, those glasses come back to the library and the children and their parents pick them up.

Vision To Learn's optician James Brooks said it best: "They don't even know there's leaves on the trees."

In Georgia, we are partnering with libraries across Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Fulton, Henry, and Douglas Counties this summer.

Meet Maxwell.

Like millions of children across the country, Maxwell was struggling in school — not because he wasn't trying, but because he couldn't see. An undetected vision problem was quietly standing between him and the education he deserved. His family, like so many in underserved communities, didn't have easy access to affordable eye care.

That changed when Vision To Learn came to his school.
CBS News Atlanta followed Maxwell's story — and it's one we hope you'll watch and share. It's a window into what happens when a child finally gets the glasses they need to read, to learn, and to believe they can keep up with their classmates.

Maxwell's story is why we do this. Watch it. Share it. And help us reach every child who's been waiting to see clearly.
