and eye glasses to school age children who are in need of eye glasses and
cannot afford them. It is typical that routine visual acuity tests,
administered by the School Nurse Program, are the first to find children with
degraded eye sight, The parents are then notified, however, many cannot afford
a complete eye examination and eye glasses for their children. These cases
will be referred to the Foundation by the school nurses.
