School-Based Vision Care
Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers school-based vision services to students in need of eye care. Our team of experts provides comprehensive exams, glasses adjustments and more—right at school.
How Does it Work?
- Reynoldsburg City Schools students and their siblings, ages 0+, can receive vision care at Reynoldsburg High School’s Livingston Campus.
- A parent or guardian must provide consent before the team can offer vision care to a child. Students can pick up consent forms from the school nurse or school-based health center.
- Students will have their vision appointment at the school-based health center. Parents/guardians are not required to be at the appointment, but are welcome to attend if they would like.
- After your child's appointment, we will give them a paper that explains what services were provided during the visit with any needed follow up instructions.
