👁️💜 August is Children's Eye Health & Safety Month!

Healthy vision helps children learn, play, and grow with confidence. Simple habits like regular eye exams, UV protection, healthy screen time, and good nutrition can help support lifelong eye health.

At Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania, we're proud to promote healthy vision and provide trusted resources for our community.

💬 Do you remember your first pair of glasses or your very first eye exam? Share your story in the comments!

We were honored to welcome Carmen Witmer from Senator Dawn Keefer's office to Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania for a tour of our agency and an overview of the programs and services we provide throughout our community.

Legislative visits like these are invaluable. They give policymakers and their staff the opportunity to see firsthand how our services empower individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise disabled to live independently, gain employment, and stay connected to their communities. These conversations help build understanding, strengthen partnerships, and ensure the voices of the people we serve are represented when important decisions are made.

Thank you, Carmen, for taking the time to learn more about our mission and the impact we strive to make every day. We appreciate your interest and look forward to continuing to work together to build a more accessible and inclusive Pennsylvania.
