Bridging the visual divide.

Glasses2Classes™ is an innovative program created by the nation's leading onsite mobile eye care and eyewear provider, Optical Academy®. We bring essential vision screenings, comprehensive eye exams, and high-quality eyewear directly to students right at their schools.

When a child struggles to see clearly, it becomes incredibly hard to absorb information, participate in class, or complete assignments. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn to the best of their abilities — and it all starts with clear vision.

  • Onsite comprehensive eye exams
  • 500+ frame styles to choose from
  • Mobile vision lab — same-day glasses
Bridging The Gap

One school. One smile at a time.

Did you know 70% of children who fail a vision screening never see an eye doctor for corrective eyewear? Our Glasses2Classes™ program aims to bridge that gap as we directly provide children with an eye exam and glasses right in the comfort of their school.

Every photo here tells the same story: a student who, just hours earlier, couldn't read the board clearly — now leaving school with the eyewear they need to learn, play, and thrive. No missed class. No lost work days for parents. No barriers.
