What We Do Since Autumn of 2007, a group of about sixteen junior year students started the Vision for Vision club. We had formed this organization to truly make a difference in our community by preventing the condition of blindness from devastating the lives of so many at-risk individuals every year. We had decided to take our textbook knowledge about the vision process and transform it into a practical and necessary service for the community. We were supported by our enthusiastic biology teacher who guided the establishment of our club, and advised about the mechanisms of eye diseases. We also work with MediCare's initiative to provide free eye examinations to at risk individuals. By this way, we hoped that we could encourage people to become tested for glaucoma, before the unknowingly succumb to the disease. Our club's title “Vision for Vision” reflects our mission to educate people to take care of their vision before it is too late. Our Mission To spread awareness about treatable eye diseases such as glaucoma, and provide any assistance we can to ensure that at-risk individuals for these diseases get tested and treated before their vision is lost. Our Vision To ensure that everyone can enjoy their precious gift of vision throughout their entire life. Vision is an essential skill to live an enjoyable and productive life, and we would like to see that no one has that opportunity stolen from them by a preventable disease.
