This girl’s vision was so bad, the eye care provider went back to his office and cry after treating her.
Joseph Carbone, President of Eye Care 4 Kids ™, and a committed member of EVF's Changing Life through Lenses (CLTL) program, recently provided a free eye exam to a teenager with a severe vision impairment.
Her vision was so poor, she was considered legally blind and would not have been able to see a single letter on an eye chart. Not only was this moment life-changing for the teenager, but a moment he will never forget. “She’d never had a vision screening, never had an eye exam, and never had glasses. I went back to my office and cried,” Joseph deeply recalled. The impact of this treatment will resonate throughout every area of her life.
As the holiday season approaches, we’re making it easier for eye doctors to give back to their communities by providing up to $1,500 in Relief funds. For more information, eye doctors can visit CLTL.org/relief on ways you can get started.
