On World Sight Day, Thursday 10th October Courts Optical is set to gift students across Dominica with FREE prescription glasses to improve their general learning experience.
The initiative, dubbed ‘Brighter View’, now in its fifth year has so far benefited hundreds of students from schools across Dominica. Through the Brighter View program, Courts Optical is able to conduct eye testing on students from local primary, secondary and tertiary schools and provide glasses to recipients.
“Brighter view is a charity outreach initiative through which we have been able to positively impact the lives of several students. In previous years we would have contacted the schools to identify students that are obviously in need of vision care but not able to afford it. The schools would nominate the students after which we would invite them into our branches to be screened and fitted for glasses. We understand that many families are faced with adverse economic situations; we want to ensure we are doing our part. Students are heavily engaged via electronic devices and are exposed to blue light. Now, more than ever we are determined to ensure that all students have access to proper eye care.
The theme for this year’s World Sight Day observation is Children, Love your eyes! Courts Optical will continue to provide incentives and opportunities to engage customers through FREE comprehensive eye screenings and affordable payment options.
