Now also serving Atlanta Public Schools!

In March 2017, 2020 announced that it had also formed a partnership with Atlanta Public Schools to bring on-site eye exams to students. To get a sense of how well it's going, enjoy this tweet from the Assistant Principal of Forrest Hill Academy:

"We would like to say thank you to 2020 for providing full vision screenings and glasses to our students. We have a large immigrant and urban population and access to vision care is needed but not accessible. Many of these students have just arrived to the US or due to insurance issues could not get this service. Due to the numerous barriers, some students struggled academically because of poor vision. Than came 2020 and many families thought this opportunity was too good to be true. Thank you for treating our students with dignity when they stepped onto your van speaking very little English. Thank you for giving them options for various frames. Thank you for all you do."
