Vision to Learn

Vision to Learn is a US nonprofit organization that provides free optometry services to children in low-income communities.

Founded by philanthropist Austin Beutner in 2012, the organization started with a single mobile clinic in Los Angeles, California, staffed by optometrists.

[2] Ann Hollister, the organization's president, told The Washington Post in 2017 that 70% of Vision to Learn's revenue originated from philanthropy, while the other 30% came from partnerships with organizations like the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Unified School District.

[5] A study done by the university found that for students most behind in school, receiving eyeglasses narrowed their achievement gap equivalent to four to six months of learning.

[6] As of August 2023, Vision to Learn was active in 15 states and the District of Columbia, and had administered 2.3 million optometry screenings, and distributed 390,000 pairs of eyeglasses to children.
