Vision to Learn
Fulton County Public Schools
Now Offering
FREE Eye Screenings, FREE Eye Exams and FREE Glasses
TWO DATES! Elkins Pointe Middle on Jan. 5th (flyer below) and Global Impact Academy on Jan. 25th (flyer coming soon).
At Elkins Pointe Middle for Fave Virtual Students
This school year, Fulton County Public Schools, in coordination with Vision To Learn, will offer vision screenings, eye exams, and, if necessary, glasses for your child. These services are free and will be provided at NO COST to you. Quality vision care is an important component of education; students that cannot see often struggle to learn to read, to see the board, and to succeed academically.
Once the pre screenings are complete and your child has been identified to need a vision exam, you will be able to reserve an appointment online for your child to have that free vision exam.
Student Vision Services
Vision screenings will take place at your student’s school. If your child does not pass the screening, she/he will be referred to the Vision To Learn mobile clinic to receive a basic eye exam by a trained and licensed independent optometrist. If needed, your child may also be prescribed glasses. Eye exams do not involve eye drops or dilation. Vision To Learn follows CDC, state and federal regulations including staff daily health screenings, the use of Personal Protective Equipment for staff and students, non-contact exam procedures, thorough disinfection between patients.
Student Information for Vision Services
The District will share your child’s name, date of birth, gender, parent/guardian name, demographic and contact information, and vision screening results with Vision To Learn. Vision To Learn will share your child’s eye exam information with the District.
Medicaid Reimbursement
Receiving vision services provided by Vision To Learn’s mobile clinic will constitute a routine vision examination and – as needed – fitting of glasses and eyeglasses that may be billed to your child’s Medicaid benefits, if applicable. However, please note that a FREE eye exam and eyeglasses will be provided even if Medicaid cannot be billed.
Approximately 4-6 weeks later, Vision To Learn will return to your school to deliver your child’s glasses. The eye exam and eyeglasses are available to all students who need them, at no out-of-pocket cost to parents or children.
Screening Date and Time:
January 5, 2022, From 9:30-2:30pm
Please bring your child to Elkins Pointe Middle School on the above listed date and time, to have your child’s vision, pre-screened for the upcoming vision exams. The vision screening will take 15 minutes. You will be informed if your child needs an exam when the vision screening has been completed.
If you have additional questions, please reach out to your school counselor.
