Seva and Cambodia’s Ministry of Education are teaming up to screen 20,000 students and catch vision problems early.

Children with impaired vision may fall behind in school, experience social ostracization, or even drop out completely. Something as simple as a pair of eyeglasses or access to reliable eye care can help prevent that. 

By bringing eye care directly to schools, this partnership helps kids succeed in and out of the classroom, able to chase their dreams with clear sight.

Did you know? Seva’s research found that a five year-old who gets glasses in primary school and wears them through age 18 will earn 78% more over their lifetime than someone whose vision goes uncorrected. This is the tangible, life-transforming impact of eye care!
