About the Brighter Future Program: When a child can’t see well they will struggle to view laptops, whiteboards, assignments, and other learning materials which can lead to stress, anxiety, and a lack of confidence (which is key to learning). From this discomfort, it may lead to further external expressions of behavioral health challenges such as a reluctance in completing assignments and disruption of instructional time for themselves and others. If we can get children the VISION they deserve at a critical moment it will set them on a clearer path to achieve personal and academic success. Bright Future: Clear Vision provides children full eye examinations and optical quality glasses at no cost.
