Meet Christian

Christian’s smile and laugh were contagious as he tried on almost every pair of glasses that Essilor Vision Foundation offered. His personality and eagerness to wear glasses were clearly evident as he smiled and said, “I need these glasses because it’s really blurry when I try to look at the board.” After several minutes of posing and giggling in the mirror, Christian looked up with an anxious face and said, “What time will I get my glasses?” Our team assured him he would receive his new glasses that afternoon. With a quick look at his Sonic™ the Hedgehog watch, Christian informed us that we had two hours left before the school day was over.
