Summer break Vision To Learn on-site mobile clinics will return in June to Cobb County public libraries to provide eye exams and glasses – free of charge – for children ages 5-18.

Since 2018, Vision To Learn (VTL) has visited Cobb libraries during summer breaks to serve kids needing vision care and glasses for school and life.

Organizers of the Vision To Learn clinics say the sixth summer of VTL at Cobb libraries will likely reach more children than last year’s record of almost 400 exams, resulting in more than 250 receiving glasses.

Even with the added capacity for VTL appointment slots, officials say Vision To Learn is a popular program with registration required and limited space. The registration form for June is at https://bit.ly/vtlcobblibrary.

The Cobb BOC also approved $247,800 for Vision To Learn’s four-year partnership with Marietta City Schools.
