Future Sight offers free eye exams to any infant six to twelve months of age in Victoria and surrounding counties and also provides free vision screenings for any interested school, church, day care or child in Victoria and surrounding communities. Blueprint for Sight dba Future Sight
Future Sight was founded by Dr. Amy Kirkpatrick-Hartman in June 2006 with the purpose to increase community awaren
ess of the importance of infant/child vision screenings and eye examinations. Future Sight also offers free eye exams to any infant six to twelve months of age. Vouchers for eye exams and glasses are also available to those four years and younger unless the family insurance will cover those items. Screening goals are to detect problems and treat infants and children with eye-health or refractive conditions, so they can have the best possible eyesight for life. Vision in humans develops most rapidly within the first year of life, hence the importance of early detection and early treatment of eye problems. The goals for Future Sight include:
• To educate parents, teachers, and the general public about good vision and the critical role it plays in literacy, education, society, community safety, and the economy.
• To create partnerships to increase access to good vision care in Victoria and surrounding counties.
• To raise funds to support and expand Future Sight's charitable works. In 2016, Future Sight served over 3400 infants and children in Victoria and the surrounding counties.
