"Our partnership with New York City's Department of Education (DOE) and Health (DOH) spans more than 6 years. In New York alone, we provide over 100,000 students with onsite eye exams and eyewear annually; helping each child grow and learn through proper eye health," said Abby Ayoub, CEO.
New York City is one of the most fragile and diverse school systems in the US, and understands that all children need to have access to the best vision care to support its students. Optical Academy provides onsite vision services including communication at all levels – educators, administrators, children and their parents. Their communication is tailored to each audience, helping them understand the need for a comprehensive eye exam beyond a basic vision screening. Ayoub said, "Screenings are basic and commonplace across our nation's schools. They often hurt more than help when compared to a proper eye exam because a screening cannot identify the unseen issues, such as color-blindness. Schools are going digital and educators using smart-boards and computers means a child who is color-blind can't see all the colors and struggles to keep pace with their peers. That's why Optical Academy brings eye exams, eyewear and labs to the schools of New York and other states. Having our lab onsite means children who are suffering don't have to wait and they get them their glasses the same day without having to leave the school. The statistics say a lot about what needs to change in our schools and New York has been at the forefront in making a positive change…"
