Tomorrow, Thursday, September 23, members of The Vision Council who are attending Vision Expo West are invited to visit Booth # P16052 from 9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m. PT to help volunteers from Vision Health Alliance, The Vision Council’s new consumer education initiative, and EyeCare4Kids™, a nonprofit dedicated to providing professional eye care to low-income, visually-impaired children and underserved families, assemble emergency eyecare kits that will be distributed to those in need across Nevada. Each kit will contain contact lens cases, lens care cleaners, eye wash, spectacle repair tools, polishing cloth, and wipes. Hilco Vision is providing the supplies needed to make the critical kits. 500 kits will be prepared over the course of the morning. 

Vision Health Alliance will donate all of the kits through EyeCare4Kids, which will distribute them to the partner providers across the state.  

The eyecare kit assembly is just one of the ways Vision Health Alliance is providing valuable resources to local Southern Nevada schools. Together, Vision Health Alliance and EyeCare4Kids™ are also conducting a mobile eyecare clinic at a local, Las Vegas-area elementary school. 

Any questions about volunteering can be directed to Jane Balek at jbalek@thevisioncouncil.org.
