Advanced Eyecare of Carteret Focuses on Vision Charity Work
Carteret, NJ – May 7, 2025 – One in four children in the United States has a vision problem that affects their ability to learn, and many don’t have access to the vision care they need. In an effort to help bridge the gap, Advanced Eyecare of Carteret is partnering with Essilor Vision Foundation to participate in the Changing Life through Lenses® program. This program provides lenses, frames and lab services at no cost, enabling the practice to enhance its charitable giving.
“We understand the importance of giving back to our community,” says Dr. Sundeep Kaur. “We know our partnership with Essilor Vision Foundation will help us provide vision care to children who go without eyeglasses due to lack of awareness, access, and/or financial resources.”
At Advanced Eyecare, we are dedicated to enhancing the visual health of our community through our partnership with the Essilor Vision Foundation. By providing complimentary eye exams and glasses, we strive to bridge the gap for children who lack access to essential vision care.
To ensure these services reach those in need, we have scattered 3 appointment slots throughout the month for what we call “Community Vision Days.” On these special days, we offer no-cost eye exams and glasses to children and families who might otherwise go without. We believe that by regularly offering these services, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of many.
“Children rely on their parents, teachers and communities to be advocates for their vision care,” says Becky Palm, President and Executive Director of Essilor Vision Foundation. “We know that 80 percent of all vision impairment can be prevented or cured, and with the support of our partners like Advanced Eyecare of Carteret, we are taking another important step toward this goal.”
Without charitable eye doctors, millions of children across the United States would be unable to obtain vision services. The Changing Life through Lenses program enables eye doctors to make a significant impact in their communities at no cost to them or those they help.
