Eye Thrive puts our mission in our name and empowers students to pursue their full potential by ensuring no low-income child in Greater St. Louis fails to thrive simply because his or her family cannot afford glasses. We do this through our School Screening and Mobile Vision Clinic Programs. Our Screening Program provides free and accurate vision screenings for all elementary aged children not just the state mandated grades. Our Mobile Vision Clinic circumvents obstacles by traveling to schools, providing free eye exams and free prescription eyeglasses, made on the spot. The difference between corrected and uncorrected vision can be the difference between loving school and dreading school, excelling and falling behind, fulfillment and frustration. It’s the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving.
