Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
The Eyeglass Factory had their first annual Kids Day in 1994. Due to the fires and then mudslides Kids Day was canceled in 2017. To fill the need “Kids Day” then immediately became every day and the Eyeglass Factory now gives free eyeglasses to kids every day at all locations; Santa Barbara, Ventura and Camarillo. Every year since 2017, nearly five hundred kids in need receive a free pair of eyeglasses.
This year on December 15 the Eyeglass Factory is celebrating thirty years of giving free eyewear to kids in need.
On December 15, families are invited to bring their children to the Eyeglass Factory location at Santa Barbara, one South Milpas Street where our team of experienced optometrists will conduct complimentary eye exams, and our Sales team will help to select and then provide a free pair of eyeglasses. Kids will have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of stylish frames, allowing them to express their individuality while ensuring their vision is sharp. Our onsite lab will then ensure to deliver their new prescription eyeglasses that very same day.
“We believe that every child deserves to see the world clearly,” said Gregg Feldman, President at Eyeglass Factory. “Our Kids Day is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community and help children achieve their full potential. We encourage parents to take advantage of this event and ensure their kids are equipped with the gift of clear vision.”
