Overview
The Vision for Baltimore program continues supporting the schools and their after they receive their glasses by monitoring their usage. Through this monitoring, the need for another pair of glasses may appear, which has led to providing a second pair of glasses to these students if needed.
Students currently active in the program are allowed to receive a pair of glasses at no cost if their glasses are broken or lost. This continued support helps students maintain clear vision and stay on track throughout the school year.
Support from families and schools is very important to help students wear their glasses every day. This support encourages students to use their glasses, feel comfortable in school, and take care of their vision.
1. Monitoring Checks
Regular checks on students’ glasses at school and at home help the program know if they are using them and if they need any support.
2. Replacements
Lost or broken glasses can be ordered within 18 months of receiving the first pair after the eye exam.
3. Prescription
A copy of the eye prescription can be requested, and it is valid for two years after the eye exam to get new glasses at your eye clinic.
4. Events
Teaching lessons on eye health, showing how to clean glasses, and celebrating students helps encourage wearing glasses and keeping good vision for all.
