[
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.
