In Partnership with Prevent Blindness America
One of every three children in the United States does not receive critical eye care services before the age of six, putting them at risk of early vision loss. Prevent Blindness America, America’s original eye health and safety organization, and Real Kids Shades, a leading manufacturer of quality eyewear for children, have teamed up to create “Star Pupils” to provide parents with information they need to help children achieve a lifetime of healthy vision.

In an effort to educate parents about the need to protect children's eye health, Prevent Blindness America, the nation's oldest eye health and safety organization, and Real Kids Shades (RKS) a leading manufacturer of quality eyewear for infants and children, are teaming up to ensure that 5 million children have healthy eyes for healthy futures.
