OneSight, a leading global vision carenonprofit, andNorth Fulton Community Charities partnered to offer free eye examinations and glasses to over 275+ children and adults at theRoswell Vision Clinic from Nov. 17-19. The three-day charitable clinic was sponsored by Aetna, a CVS Health company, which contributed $50,000.

The event addressed unresolved vision care needs for North Atlantans who may otherwise lack access. Leveraging OneSights proven clinic model and manufacturing capabilities, most participants in need of glasses received their newly prescribed eyewear on-site.

Aetna is committed to extending care to all those who are in need, said Aetna Market Leader Richard Weiss. The opportunity to support an event with such a positive impact on the health of the Atlanta region was a natural one. Its something we saw clearly.

NFCC, which serves close to 10,000 individuals and 4,000 families each year at their facilities in Roswell, Georgia, assists families with basic essentials such as food, rent and utilities, and clothing for short-term emergencies.

North Fulton Community Charities is excited to partner with OneSight to connect families in the community to this impactful medical resource, said NFCC Director of Assistance Carol Swan. Vision care is essential, but also elusive for those who are financially vulnerable and cant afford it. This is a great opportunity for our community, and we are proud to work with OneSight to help them realize it.

According to a study by OneSight and Deloitte, there are more than 1 billion people around the world who need glasses but do not have access to get them. Studies show that clear sight can dramatically impact learning, job performance, and earning potential. Clear sight can help students learn up to twice as much in schooland can helpincrease a workers productivity by 35 percent and enable them to earn 20 percent more.

Were so happy to have been able to support the North Atlanta community with vision care this week, said Dawn Yager, a program manager for OneSight. We appreciate the support from Aetna, North Fulton Community Charities, and so many volunteers and doctors to enable this vision clinic to happen.
