Let's Go See initiative raises awareness of vision problems in children

September 1, 2015

[

This back-to-school season, Visionworks® and Davis Vision, independent companies, have teamed up to raise awareness of the importance of annual eye exams for children. This initiative, aptly named Let's Go See, will not only serve as a public awareness campaign, but it will also help 10,000 children in need receive free eye exams and eyeglasses. Independence encourages physicians, especially pediatric physicians, to promote the Let's Go See initiative.

Did you know that one in four children has a vision problem? According to Prevent Blindness America, 60 percent of children labeled as problem learners have an undetected vision problem. Many U.S. parents simply don't know their children have a vision problem or don't have the means to afford routine vision care. Let's Go See commits to raising awareness of vision problems in children throughout the U.S. and the importance of an annual eye exam.

Please visit the Let's Go See website for more information and to nominate a child, school, or organization in need of free comprehensive eye exams and eyeglasses.

Administered by Davis Vision, an independent company. An affiliate of Independence Blue Cross has a financial interest in Visionworks.
