  • Vision for Baltimore

The mission

This initiative seeks to ensure that every Baltimore City Public School student who needs eyeglasses will receive them. Because to learn, students must see both their books, papers and devices. Clearly, this unique partnership brings vision screening to all Baltimore City Schools and provides eyeglasses to students needing vision correction.

The need

We estimate that of the more than 60,000 pre-K through 8th-grade students served by Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPSS), 15,000 may need glasses – but significant barriers prevent many from getting them. Many children and parents may not even be aware that glasses are needed.

The solution

Vision for Baltimore provides screenings, vision exams and eyeglasses (with great styles), right at the school for all students in pre-K through 8th grade.

OUR PARTNERS

An amazing team came together in 2016 to ensure that the foundational need for good vision for learning is met for all students. Vision for Baltimore is a partnership among Baltimore City Public Schools, The Baltimore City Health Department, Johns Hopkins University, Vision to Learn, and Warby Parker offering school-based vision services to students across Baltimore.
