About Vision To Learn

Vision To Learn is the largest school-based vision care nonprofit in the country. VTL exists to address one basic premise – if you can’t see, you can’t learn.  Vision To Learn provides eye exams and glasses to students in underserved communities at no cost to them or their families to help them succeed in school and in life.  Founded in Los Angeles in 2012, Vision To Learn has since expanded to schools across the country. Vision care is critical as 80% of all learning during a child’s first 12 years is visual, we work to solve the problem of lack of access by partnering with school districts to provide eye exams and glasses at no charge to families. We have provided over 3.6 million vision screenings, 730,000 eye exams and 600,000 new, prescription glasses in the last decade.
