Envision at Optometry's Meeting 2012

Envision is pleased to support this year's American Optometry Association Vision Rehabilitation Section Distinguished Service Award! This year's award was presented to Sight Savers America. Accepting on behalf of Sight Savers America was Jeff Haddox, President/CEO and Margie Haddox, Senior Director of Expansion and Low Vision Programs. Envision congratulates Sight Savers America for their passion and mission in serving children with visual impairments.

Sight Savers America is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that assists children with obtaining eye exams, glasses and other needed eye care from local eye care providers and clinics. Children are referred to Sight Savers via failed vision screenings at school, referrals from teachers, school administrators, school nurses, eye-care professionals and parents. Children of families who qualify for our program receive the eye care they need at no cost to the family. Sight Savers has set the standard in follow-up vision care. At Sight Savers, we work with the members of our extensive volunteer network of eye care providers to arrange comprehensive eye care including scheduling appointments and transportation, making arrangements for eyeglasses, medications, eye surgeries, vision aids, or any other prescribed treatment.

On behalf of the many doctors of American Optometry Association Vision Rehabilitation Section, we salute the good work of Sight Savers of America!

Yes congratulations everyone. I myself I have struggled with my eyesight for the majority of my life and I've had many many trips to the optometrists. So I just want to give a big thanks for all of the eye doctors out there. And for the optometrists in my home town. http://www.rivieraopticare.com/
