Optometry Giving Sight, Vision Impact Institute and VSP Global have teamed up to form the Kids See: Success initiative, which promotes the importance of healthy vision and draws attention to uncorrected refractive errors that negatively impact quality of life in children and adults.
The goal of Kids See: Success is reportedly to educate parents, state and city legislatures, child advocacy groups, school nurses, teachers and administrators about the need for mandatory comprehensive eye exams prior to entering kindergarten. According to the groups, one in four children in the U.S. has an undetected vision condition that can limit their academic and social success.
