MOBILE VISION CARE CLINIC

The Mobile Vision Care Clinic is a social enterprise that works alongside schools and community groups to provide on-site vision care services including comprehensive eye exams and the dispensing of prescription eyeglasses. The mission of the Mobile Vision Care Clinic is to ensure all Canadians have access to vision care regardless of socioeconomic circumstances... For several years, the Winnipeg School Division's Read2Me Program had been searching for a mobile vision care clinic within schools to address the imminent vision needs of students in participating schools and the time consuming efforts they were making to access vision care at local optometric clinics. Until November 2016, however, all attempts to do so were unsuccessful. In fact, the team was told that no such service existed in the province of Manitoba nor was it possible... We work alongside community partners such as schools, community health clinics, etc. to provide affordable access to vision care.
