The Eye See Eye Learn program provides an eye exam and free glasses, if needed, for kindergarten-aged children. Twenty-five per cent of kids begin first grade with an undiagnosed eye problem. To book your child's eye exam, please visit optometrists.ab.ca. The Alberta Association of Optometrists represents almost 800 Doctors of Optometry in over eighty communities across the province. Members are highly-trained, regulated health professionals who provide primary eye-health and vision care to Albertans. Learn more at optometrists.ab.ca
