2020 On-site can serve colleges and universities just as it serves companies. We also have a program that brings high-end vision care to local high schools, because we know that if children can't see clearly, they can't possibly excel in the classroom. So in 2015, we initiated our first program with the Boston Public Schools to see if convenient, high-quality, and affordable vision care was needed among students. The results were inspiring! Then, to kick off 2020 (our namesake year!), we launched "Vision for Boston," where we provided free vision screenings, eye exams, and eyewear to 10,000+ underprivileged children in the month of January alone (at no cost to the students or their families). For some of these students, our visit was their very first eye exam!
In 2016, we launched a formal partnership with the Boston Public Schools with a mission to serve all of their high schools on a continuing basis. Our impact so far:
More than 30 Boston Public Schools visited
At least 30 on-site visits per year
Over 1,000 students seen
500+ pairs of glasses donated

In 2020, we expanded our partnership with Boston Public Schools through “Vision for Boston,” our largest philanthropy initiative to-date. In the month of January, we:
Made 22 full-day visits to schools
Provided access to free vision screenings, eye exams, and eyewear to 10,000+ underprivileged children
Dispensed 400+ glasses to students
For many of these students, our visit marked their very first eye exam.
