Day 227 - Helped to Promote Eye Health

During early childhood development, 80 percent of learning is visual. However, problems such as near-/farsightedness, eye focus, and eye coordination among other issues can impair learning, and may lead a student to lag behind educationally, which may lead to low self-esteem.

This August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month sponsored by Prevent Blindness America (PBA).  There are a number of ways to help promote eye health for children and adults during August and all year round. 

Envision is a non-profit providing services for the visually impaired, and the second-largest employer of legally blind or visually impaired persons in the US.


For today's random act of kindness I donated to the Envision Foundation to support their mission to improve the quality of life and provide inspiration for the blind and visually impaired through employment, outreach, rehabilitation, education and research.
