About See Kids Soar®

1. What is See Kids Soar (SKS)?

See Kids Soar is a turnkey program that inspires your patients and staff to adopt the cause of vision. The campaign ask doctors and staff to help raise donations which go towards providing vision services for underserved children in the United States. Participants can receive free marketing materials to promote the cause and can even receive a free credit card processor to facilitate donations at checkout.

2. Where does the money go?

The funds raised help provide lenses, lab services and glasses to children across the United States who need critical vision care. Essilor Vision Foundation works with eye doctors, vision nonprofits and schools to provide vision service across the country. Just $50 provides an eye exam and glasses for a child in need. No child or their family ever receives a bill from the Essilor Vision Foundation.
