ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Think About Your Eyes, a national public awareness campaign about the importance of scheduling an annual eye exam with an optometrist, has announced the winners of the #seebeyond2020 contest. Think About Your Eyes launched the contest last October to capture and feature the stories of individuals whose lives were enhanced by visiting the eye doctor. Criteria in winner selection included how well the eye health story communicated a life-changing impact of an eye exam and how well it conveyed how eye health contributes to the quality of life.

A total of 10 additional winners were also selected to receive a cash prize.
