See to Succeed
A SIMPLE CONCEPT WITH TANGIBLE RESULTS.
SEE TO SUCCEED has a simple yet transformative purpose — giving students the gift
of sight. A pair of eyeglasses can change lives and improve academic outcomes.
HOW IT WORKS
The school nurse conducts vision screenings using the convenient, advanced technology of the Spot® Vision Screener. Students who fail the initial vision screening are then invited to participate in SEE TO SUCCEED. A licensed optometrist will
provide thorough eye exams in the school-setting. Students who are prescribed glasses get to choose frames from a wide selection of styles and colors. Within two weeks, students receive the glasses they need along with improved vision.
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC
ASSOCIATION, ONE IN FOUR SCHOOL-AGE
CHILDREN HAS AN UNDIAGNOSED VISION PROBLEM.
VISION CORRECTION IS KEY TO ENSURING ALL CHILDREN HAVE AN
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND SUCCEED.
YOU CAN HELP Susquehanna County children by sponsoring See to Succeed. While a portion of See to Succeed is reimbursable by Medicaid and the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP), our goal is to ensure that un/underinsured children also receive the help they need.
“As a former elementary principal, I know how important it is for at-risk economically disadvantaged children to receive comprehensive vision care. If a child can not see clearly, it makes it difficult to learn and can affect his or her academic performance, behavior and social skills. See to Succeed is the next best way to invest in our children early in life and throughout their school years. By staying on top of their vision needs we will provide students with another great resource to do their best in school and in life.”
