Over 25% of Arizona’s school-age kids may have undetected vision issues that impact their learning. With the new vision screening law, we’re identifying issues early so kids can succeed in school & beyond. Learn why vision health matters for Arizona kids! https://t.co/D09Ap9p5vO

Spent the day with an amazing group of optometrists, pre-optometry, pre-optho med students, and CASA volunteers providing eye exams and glasses for the community. They have a long wait list & significant need. Thank you to the @MOA_ODs for this great program. @GovWesMoore

Marylanders deserve to know what their tax dollars buy. As #counties fund roughly half the costs for public schools, @MDCounties is prioritizing legislation to ensure more comprehensive, transparent information on school budgets and spending. #MDpolitics #MDGA24
Here’s my letter to the Washington Post calling for greater transparency in Montgomery County Public Schools’ $3 billion budget.

It is pretty incredible timing that on the eve of my hearing on HB 74, which PBS NewsHour Report discusses the desperate need for more mental health supports in schools. HB 74 is a great way to provide these supports students are begging for.
Mental health among the nation's student population has been a growing concern, especially coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many states are trying to make sure there are adequate resources for schools' needs. @IAmStevenPotter of PBS Wisconsin reports.

Don't let your child fall behind in school because of unclear vision. Schedule an annual eye exam to detect any vision problems early on. #kidsvision #healthyvision #glasses #eyeglasses #eyes #eyeexam

Third-grader, Naz, was so excited to get a pair of glasses at our US vision clinic—he couldn’t stop telling us about it. He received glasses he loves, a protective case and newfound clear sight. It’s patients like Naz who inspire us to bring vision care to everyone who needs it💛
