About 80% of what children learn is processed through their eyes. When children cannot see, they have difficulty reading or find it hard to focus on tasks, thus affecting school performance, as well as their daily lives.

The Eagles Eye Mobile provides comprehensive vision care to needy elementary and middle public school children in Philadelphia. The program offers free eye exams and, when needed, prescription eyeglasses and follow-up care through St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. Every year, more than 3,000 children receive eye exams; almost 80% of these children need and receive free eyeglasses. The Eagles Eye Mobile operates in close partnership with the School District of Philadelphia.

Is your child having difficulty reading or seeing the blackboard? If so, he/she may be suffering from poor vision. Please contact your child's school nurse.
