What is See Kids Soar?
See Kids Soar is an in-office cause campaign intended to inspire parents, patients and eye doctors’ staff to adopt the cause of vision, and give them an opportunity to raise awareness and funds. ODs who enroll in the program will receive a free 2020 cause marketing kit including: brochures and a brochure holder, education flyers, lanyards, buttons, digital assets, near point cards, pens, tear pads, and window clings.

Why Should ODs Participate?
• Doing good is good for business.
• An EVF survey found that 61% of customers would choose an eye care professional who supports a charitable cause over one who does not.
• In addition, 89% of consumers would switch brands to help support a good cause.
• 85% of consumers have a more positive image of companies when they support a cause they care about.
How Does the Program Help Kids in Need?
• See Kids Soar specifically focuses on raising awareness about the millions children in the U.S. who are without vision correction due to lack of awareness, limited access to services or the inability to afford vision care.
• 90% of every dollar raised through the in-office campaign supports critical vision initiatives.
• Donations go directly towards helping fund local programs providing vision exams and glasses for children in need, as well as educating the general public on the importance of eye health care for children.
• No child or family ever receives a bill from Essilor Vision Foundation.
Why is the Year 2020 Special?
• For the vision industry, 2020 is the year of vision — a year when everyone should make their eye health a priority and be advocates for the estimated 12 million kids in America with a vision impairment, half of whom are not getting the vision care they need. Without charitable eye doctors, millions of kids across the U.S. would be unable to obtain vision services.
