Being able to read and see the blackboard is essential to learning. August Optical makes it possible. In cases where parent can’t take the child—and in most cases this is the situation—the site coordinator obtains paperwork, parent permission and takes the child to the appointments. The child returns to school with a new pair of glasses and the Site Coordinator returns, often with an amazing, uplifting story of the wonderful care August Optical staff provide to students. This year, at one school alone, 14 children received glasses through August Optical. Three of the children needed glasses replaced, one from a family house fire and one broken and one lost. Dr. August is patient with the children and shows a great ability to work with children of all backgrounds.

One child who has minimal language skills, was immediately put at ease by August Optical Staff. The Doctor was able to determine needs and appropriate glasses were provided.
