More than 900 Los Angeles students in grades K-12 received the gift of clear sight during a five-day vision clinic held May 4-8 at Harry Bridges Span School in Wilmington. The clinic was hosted by LensCrafters and the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation in partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
During the clinic, more than 80 volunteers — including LensCrafters, EyeMed, and additional EssilorLuxottica team members, along with volunteer optometrists, technicians and support staff — worked together to provide free eye exams and prescription glasses to students who may otherwise lack access to essential vision care. Thanks to OneSight’s on-site lens production capabilities and proven clinic model, most patients received their new, high-quality eyewear the same day.
This clinic is one example of LensCrafters’ longstanding partnership with the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation. Since 1995, LensCrafters’ in-store fundraising has supported local initiatives across North America while helping to expand access to vision care globally, delivering life-changing impact in support of OneSight’s commitment to eliminate uncorrected poor vision.
“At LensCrafters, we believe access to quality vision care can empower humans to reach their full potential,” said Alfonso Cerullo, President of LensCrafters and For Eyes. “Through our longstanding partnership with the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, we’re proud to help remove barriers to care and expand access to life-changing vision services for children and communities around the world—helping them gain clarity and confidence and transforming the way they see and experience the world.”
“Clear vision plays a fundamental role in a child’s ability to learn, grow and thrive,” said Becky Palm, Executive Director, OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, North America. “Through our global efforts, we are working to expand access to quality vision care in underserved communities and move closer to our commitment to eliminate uncorrected poor vision within a generation. We’re grateful to our partners and volunteers who help make this impact possible every day.”
