At Kansas City Free Eye Clinic, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to see clearly, regardless of their financial situation. Good vision is essential for learning, confidence, and success in school, yet thousands of children in the Kansas City metro area lack access to basic eye care. Many students struggle in the classroom simply because they can’t see the board, read their textbooks, or focus on their work due to undiagnosed vision problems.

That’s why we bring free, mobile eye care clinics directly to underserved schools across the metro area—eliminating barriers to care and ensuring that students receive the vision screenings, comprehensive eye exams, and corrective lenses they need to thrive.

How Our Off-Site School Clinics Work

We partner with local schools, school districts, and community organizations to identify students in need and set up on-site vision clinics at no cost to families. Our clinics provide:

• Comprehensive eye exams performed by licensed optometrists
• Free prescription glasses for students who need them
• Referrals for additional care if advanced treatment is required

Our team brings all necessary equipment and works closely with school staff to ensure the process is seamless and efficient. Students can receive a complete eye exam and be fitted for glasses—all without ever leaving school.

Why School-Based Eye Care Matters

Children who struggle with undiagnosed vision problems are more likely to experience:

• Difficulty with reading and writing
• Lower academic performance
• Increased frustration and behavioral challenges
• Headaches, eye strain, and difficulty concentrating

By providing early detection and treatment, our school-based clinics help students reach their full potential and improve their quality of life—both inside and outside the classroom.
