Posted by Dean Mouren-Laurens on Oct 16, 2016
The Paramount Rotary Club and Vision To Learn have teamed up together to sponsor a student eye exam clinic at Los Cerritos School; K-5. The goal will be to screen nearly 600 students and identify those students that are in need of eyeglasses.Objective: To provide free eye exams and free eyeglasses to students at Los Cerritos (Elementary) School
Where: Los Cerritos School 14626 Gundry, Paramount, CA 90723
Dates: Thursday, October 20, 2016 @ 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM Friday, October 21, 2016 @ 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM
Vision To Learn Mobile Eye Clinic to conduct eye exams: Wednesday, November 15, 2016 @ 8:30 AM to Noon? Optometrists and opticians conduct free eye exams and fit children for free eyeglasses. Students get to choose their own eyeglass frames.
Why: As many as 1.5 million children across the country lack the glasses they need to see the lessons on a classroom whiteboard and read the words in a book. Studies have shown 95% of incoming first graders who need glasses don’t have them. This is our chance to help those kids in our community and set them on the path to a brighter future… with the vision, to learn!
