Optometrist

Vision To Learn is the largest school-based vision care nonprofit in the country. We address the basic premise that if you can’t see, you can’t learn by providing eye exams and glasses to students in underserved communities at no cost to the students and their families. Founded in Los Angeles in 2012, we have expanded to schools across the country, providing over 3.8 million vision screenings, 800,000 eye exams, and 650,000 new prescription glasses in the last decade.
