Mobile Vision Clinic

Vision problems occur most often in middle school age. QueensCare has worked with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) since 1999 to provide an on-site vision clinic to selected middle schools where 75% or more of the students qualify for the federal free or reduced lunch program.

• School nurses screen all seventh graders for vision problems.
• QueensCare’s optometrists and staff go on-site to examine students with marginal results.
• QueensCare provides, free of charge, prescriptive glasses for those children who need them.

The Mobile Vision Program screens approximately 18,000 students at 25 middle schools in a year. Of those, over 3,000 receive an optometric exam, almost all of whom also receive free prescription glasses.
