About Vision To Learn

Vision To Learn is the largest school-based vision care nonprofit in the country. We exist to address one basic premise—if you can’t see, you can’t learn. Vision To Learn provides eye exams and glasses to students in underserved communities at no cost to the students and their families to help them succeed in school and in life. Founded in Los Angeles in 2012, we have since expanded to schools across the country.

Vision care is critical as 80% of all learning during a child’s first 12 years is visual. We solve the problem of lack of access by partnering with school districts to provide eye exams and glasses at no charge to families. Over the last decade, we have provided over 3.8 million vision screenings, 800,000 eye exams, and 650,000 new, prescription glasses.

Join us and make a direct impact by helping provide vision services to school-aged children in underserved communities who would otherwise go without access to care.
