Program Background:

NASN is grateful to Vision Service Plan (VSP) for their Sight for Students program.  This program has provided vision services to more than 700,000 children since its inception in 1997 and funded $132 million in free eyewear for low-income, uninsured and underinsured children.   

Sight for Students is a VSP charity that provides free vision exams and glasses to low-income, uninsured children. The program operates nationally through a network of community partners who identify children in need and VSP network doctors who provide the eyecare services.

More than 50,000 children each year receive a free comprehensive exam and corrective lenses if needed through Sight for Students. These are children who would otherwise not receive the eyecare and eyewear they need to do their best work in school and perform their best at play.

Please contact me to see if your child qualifies for the Sight for Students vision program.
