About this organization
Mission
Eye Thrive's mission is to ensure that no child in our community fails to thrive simply because their family cannot afford glasses. Our organization prioritizes reaching populations in need, delivering the highest quality of care, and making long-term impact through our services. We know first-hand the transformative power a pair of glasses can have on a child, in school and throughout their lives.
About
Mobile vision clinic: Everyday our mobile vision clinic, a state-of-the-art optometry-center-on-wheels, travels throughout St. Louis to administer free eye exams and dispense prescription glasses to children who need it most. Our results show that 85% of the children we have served improved their academic performance, class participation, and self-esteem but most importantly walk away with a critical stamp on the passport to their success: 20/20 vision.
