​Did you know that 2 out of 5 children go without glasses because of lack of healthcare or low income? The fact that we can change this statistic by providing free glasses is nothing less than a miracle. The East Vision care program is a Program taught by optician Logan Newman, where high school students get a chance to experience the work of an optician. “I love being able to help on many different levels” said vision care teacher Mr. Newman.
 
Even if you dread waking up in the morning and going to school, your mood will change coming to our Vision Care classroom.  Senior Vision Care student Noah Al-hamachi says, “my favorite part of the program is seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces when they can see clearly for the first time.”  This program make you feel like a hero for making a difference in your community.
 
Mr. Newman said, “I love that my students connect with the program and find things that helps them find a direction in their life. I've witnessed many students of this program graduate and become successful opticians, thanks to this program.” So if you're interested in helping people in need, stop by E107 and learn more!
