Back for a seventh year, Baltimore County Library is once again teaming up with nonprofit Vision to Learn to help kids in the community see better.
The library system will be offering free eye exams for kids 18 and younger at branches throughout the summer and providing glasses, if needed.
Last year, the program conducted 384 eye exams and provided 244 glasses to kids who needed them in the County.
"As a community connector, we are committed to leveling the playing field for everyone in Baltimore County," says Baltimore County Public Library CEO Sonia Alcántara-Antoine. "Partnering with Vision To Learn to offer something as essential as eye exams, and potentially glasses, ensures every student starts the school year off with the ability to see and therefore succeed."
Pre-registration is required due to limited spots.
On certain Vision to Learn exam dates at the library, the Baltimore County Health Department will also be offering free audiology appointments for kids between 3 and 17 years old. Pre-registration is also required for these hearing screenings.
