Check Yearly See Clearly in the Big Apple

Parents and teachers in New York City will soon know the importance of regular vision care thanks to a joint outreach project by Unite for Sight and Check Yearly. See Clearly. The goal is to equip every elementary school in New York City with a Healthy Vision Kit that includes educational materials for parents, a poster for teachers' lounges and handouts to educate them on the warning signs of undetected vision problems in children.

Unite for Sight is a nonprofit organization that provides free vision screenings to children and adults via their 75 international chapters. According to Jennifer Staple, Founder, President and Ceo of Unite for Sight, 'There is a large percentage of children who start school every year without receiving any vision care. By partnering with the Check Yearly campaign on this important initiative, we can educate parents, educators and school nurses on the importance of regular vision care for children'.
