“Seeing is learning” study in China
OneSight has extended its partnership with Stanford
University’s Rural Education Action Program (REAP).
The shared vision for the partnership is to increase awareness
for the need for vision care, with the goal of informing
potential policy to deliver access to vision care in rural China.
As part of the first phase of the “Seeing is Learning” study,
20,000 school-aged students in the Yulin region were screened
and examined to determine the need for glasses.
These students were followed regularly to monitor the positive
impact glasses had on their academic performance.
The results were impressive: glasses improved performance
by an entire grade level, and for this reason the study
has been endorsed by the Chinese government.
The second phase will test the piloting of a vision center
model aimed at expanding access to quality vision
care in rural China, thereby helping nearly 10,000
more adults and children.
School-based model
80% of what children learn is visual. That’s why comprehensive
vision care is essential for successful academic achievement.
The OneSight Vision Center at Oyler School in Cincinnati, Ohio,
is the first self-sustaining school-based vision care program
in the United States, giving year-round access to 30,000
students in Cincinnati Public Schools.
In 2014, over 4,000 students received exams and 65%
of those needed glasses.
OneSight Collection by Luxottica
The first OneSight Collection by Luxottica frames were
distributed in Nicaragua in May 2014. The collection was made
possible by a large-scale collaborative effort by a team
of Luxottica experts in product development, design, planning
and production from Italy, China and North America.
The frames have revolutionized the way OneSight serves
patients, making it possible to offer new eyewear that meets
universal needs while providing glasses made to each patient’s
specific prescription. As OneSight scales up its sustainable
solutions, the collection is a significant advancement towards
increasing access to high-quality vision care around the world.
MANUFACTURING
OneSight believes in giving its very best to those who need
it most. Last year, OneSight held eight Manufacturing Clinics,
where Luxottica volunteers produced complete pairs
of eyewear in prescription ranges most commonly needed
for Global Clinics. During the manufacturing events,
volunteers produced eyewear to support Vision Clinics
hosted in Mexico and Nicaragua.
