All Children’s Health Initiative for Eye and Vision Excellence in Minorities Communities 

The National Optometric Association 

National Children’s Center for Vision and Eye Health (NCCVEH) at Prevent Blindness

The National Optometric Association (NOA) and the National Children’s Center for Vision and Eye Health (NCCVEH) at Prevent Blindness are partnering to raise awareness of the importance of vision for children:

  • How vision impacts child development and learning
  • The importance of vision screening
  • The importance of comprehensive eye examinations

The ACHIEVE campaign–All Children’s Health Initiative for Eye and Vision Excellence–is targeted to minority parents to learn more about how to care for children’s vision.

Changing Life Through Lenses®

NOA is proud to promote to its member doctors EVF’s Changing Life through Lenses® (CLTL) program, which gives eye doctors and charities free lenses, frames and labs services as well as access to other charitable resources. CLTL lets you serve patients in need at no extra cost to you. Sign up today for Changing Life through Lenses to access all these resources for free and help transform your community. Also, for a limited time, you can get up to $1,500 from EVF to support your charitable vision services by registering for the CLTL Relief Fund campaign when signing up for CLTL.
