Part 3 - Line 4a

CHANGING LIFE THROUGH LENSES (CLTL) EMPOWERS OTHERS TO SERVE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING RESOURCES, BEST PRACTICES AND OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT TO ACTIVATE VISION CLINICS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.


KIDS VISION FOR LIFE (KVFL), EVF'S CORNERSTONE PROGRAM, PROVIDES VISION EXAMS AND GLASSES TO CHILDREN IN NEED AT NO COST TO THE CHILDREN OR THEIR FAMILIES. CHILDREN CLIMB ON BOARD A MOBILE VISION CLINIC TO RECEIVE A VISION EXAM FROM AN EYE DOCTOR AND HAVE THE CHANCE TO PICK OUT THEIR OWN FRAMES. THE GLASSES ARE USUALLY MADE ON-SITE AND ARE PROVIDED TO THE CHILD BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY. KVFL BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE NEED AND THE SOLUTION, ASSISTING AN UNDER-SERVED POPULATION WHERE IT IS MOST CONVENIENT: IN SCHOOLS AND AT SCHOOL-RELATED OR COMMUNITY-RELATED EVENTS.


AWARENESS AND EDUCATION - RAISING AWARENESS AND EDUCATING PARENTS IS CRITICAL TO SOLVING THE VISION CRISIS FOR CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES. MOST PARENTS DO NOT THINK ABOUT VISION AS A NEED FOR THEIR CHILD; IT IS AN INVISIBLE PROBLEM THAT OFTEN GOES UNRESOLVED. EVF WORKS WITH SCHOOLS TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD VISION THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR STUDENT, PARENTS, AND TEACHERS.
