๐๐ Meet Alejandra from Mexico ๐๐
At just 10 years old, Alejandraโs world started to blur.
She struggled to read the school board, couldnโt recognize faces from a distance, and her grades began to fall. Fear and frustration took over.
Her parents and teachers knew something was wrong โ but eye care was expensive and far from her community.
โจ Thanks to Optometry Giving Sight and the school screening program, Alejandra received a comprehensive eye exam and her first pair of glasses.
Now sheโs back to playing games at recess, keeping up in class, and chasing her dreams with confidence.
๐ โMy life is easy now,โ Alejandra says. โI can see my friends, I feel part of life again.โ
This World Sight Day, help us make stories like Alejandraโs possible.
