Latest News OneSight Launches Focus on Sight Program to Provide Vision Care for U.S. Children By Staff Monday, August 29, 2016 12:24 AM CINCINNATI—OneSight announced the launch of their Focus on Sight program, which was developed to create a more streamlined approach to providing access to vision care for underserved students and their families.OneSight works with school-based health centers in the U.S to integrate vision care into their comprehensive health care approach by providing grants and vision care expertise. These school-based vision centers will provide access to quality eye health examinations, diagnosing services for common vision problems plus testing for eye diseases and conditions as well as prescribing, dispensing, repairs and adjustment for corrective eyeglasses.“The startup costs for a school-based vision center can be very high and many of these organizations have never worked in the vision care space,” said Lisa Curcuruto, Focus on Sight program coordinator at OneSight. “With the Focus on Sight program, OneSight will be able to provide both expertise and funding to ensure a school-based vision center is successfully opened and providing access to students and families in underserved communities.”OneSight will provide funding through grants for school-based vision center (SBVC) programs in the U.S. and U.S. territories. The grants are awarded through an application process, and OneSight will provide six grants to new school-based vision centers in 2017. This will increase the total number of OneSight school-based vision centers open to 15 by the end of 2018, providing more than 500,000 students and their families with access to vision care and glasses, the company said in a statement. Focus on Sight grant applications will open Sept. 1 and recipients will be announced in February 2017.
