More than 80% of learning in the classroom is visual. If a child cannot see, a child cannot read – and if a child cannot read, a child cannot learn.

As Nebraska Children’s Vision Month comes to a close, remember that regular eye exams are essential to a child’s success in school and beyond. Early detection of vision problems can make all the difference in learning, development, and confidence.

Earlier this month, Dr. Faith Schneider and the team at EyeCare Associates LLC in York, NE, provided free vision exams for 19 students from York Elementary School. These students were referred based on the school’s required annual vision tests. Remarkably, all 19 students needed glasses, and each one received a pair.

This initiative marks the beginning of the eYES program, launched in partnership with the Nebraska Foundation for Children’s Vision. The York County Community Coalition generously funded the glasses.

Thank you NOA doctors for your commitment to help students see clearly so they can learn more effectively.
