Both of his children were signed up to receive eye exams and new glasses at no cost.“This has been tremendously helpful to both of them and has helped them in school. My daughter has an especially significant eyecondition and her vision decreased drastically in just a year. She wasn’t able to see well while walking in the halls or sitting in class.Her glasses have helped her and have given her confidence.”During his daughter’s vision screening at school, Adan told the school liaison that he thought he, too, needed glasses and that hehad never been to an eye doctor because he had no insurance. The liaison completed Adan’s application for assistance from PBO.“I am so grateful that I had this opportunity for a free eye exam and glasses. I wear my glasses every day. I also wear them towork (in construction) and they help me see much better. Thank you so much for this fantastic program.”Prevent Blindness, Ohio Affiliate 2020-2021 Annual Report7
