About a month ago, many of our students were tested for vision impairments. If a student was found to have worse than 20/40 vision, a free prescription for glasses was written. This week, those prescriptions were filled by a NYC-based designer eyewear company and the students were fitted for their free pair of prescription classes.

Research has shown that if students have vision impairments, their reading comprehension suffers. If a student can’t see the words on the page clearly, they will certainly have trouble reading and comprehending them.
