90% OF CHILDREN WHO NEED GLASSES DO NOT HAVE THEM
Everyone Deserves to See the World Clearly.
Kids Vision for Life St. Louis is the eye care lifeline for our region’s families living in poverty. Due to lack of resources, transportation, and the inability to take time away from work, parents are not able to consistently meet the eye care needs of their children. 30% of school-age children are in need of corrective prescription lenses to see clearly and this need goes largely undetected to the untrained parent or care-giver.
Uncorrected vision problems prevent progress in reading, learning and advancement in life. The Kids Vision for Life St. Louis mobile school program has been the trusted source of high-quality eye care for these children for over 10 years.
Without the KVFL mobile eye care program, children from low-income families are prevented from getting the eye care they need to succeed! With your support, KVFL will ensure that these children receive the resources for their good vision, continued learning, and a path to their success in life.

What Our Patients Say About Us
Eboni Harris
School Nurse, Ferguson-Florissant School District
“We have one particular little girl who has struggled with her vision. When she got to 1st grade, when she was screened it was determined she needed glasses. She was so happy and grateful, came down in person to make sure I saw them on her. She is doing better in class with grades and understanding. She has also been very responsible with her glasses which shows and it very commendable. She talks all the time about how much better she can actually see. I don’t think she had any clue how much she was missing out on not being able to see properly.”
