Delta is again a participating school district the BC Doctors of Optometry Eye See I Learn program.
That means any kindergarten child that attends school in Delta can attend a participating optometry clinic and get a free eye exam and if needed free glasses.
The program is available (ie. free) for K children till the end of August but as we all know the earlier vision challenges are detected, the better. Remember too that this is a much more comprehensive exam than the the screening process that Fraser Health usually does this time of year. So we shouldn’t feel that if that screen doesn’t pick up anything that this exam isn’t needed.
In the body of the email below you will find a link to the participant form that families need to take to a participating eye doctor. I’ve also attached it above.
Not every optometrist participates in the program.
Currently there is one clinic in South Delta
and 3 along Scott Road North Delta/West Surrey
You can find a full list of participation Doctors using the Optometrists find a doctor tool but note that this will search for all Optometrists unless the user selects ESEL exams and glasses under program before searching.
