Eagles Eye Mobile

Since 1996,  the Eagles Eye Mobile has worked to make comprehensive vision care accessible to under- and uninsured children in the Greater Philadelphia area. In Philadelphia alone, an estimated 60% of public school children (approximately 14,000 children) that fail their school nurse's state-mandated vision screening do not receive the vision care they need. The Eagles Eye Mobile offers these children eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, and follow-up care from an ophthalmologist, all at no cost to children or their families.

"If you've ever seen a child put on glasses for the first time and be able to see the definition of a leaf or words on the blackboard or read a label, you'd know how good it feels for me to give back in this way."
