Sight for Success
WDGPH is committed to focusing on children’s health. Ocular health is essential to the growth and development, and long-term health outcomes of children in our community.
The Sight for Success program promotes childhood ocular health by providing a subsidy for glasses (up to $160) to students in WDG (grades 1-12) with identified financial need.
To qualify, student must:
- Currently be enrolled full-time at a school in the WDG region;
- Complete a comprehensive eye exam; and
- Meet the financial eligibility
The process to receive the Sight for Success subsidy is as follows:
Step 1: Student completes an OHIP-covered comprehensive eye exam within 6 months.
Step 2: Once the student has an identified need for glasses, the parent/guardian/student can fill out the eligibility form. One form can be completed per family (up to 4 students).
Step 3: A Public Health Nurse will reach out via phone call to discuss eligibility and vision support programs.
Step 4: If the student is deemed eligible, the Public Health Nurse will send confirmation of eligibility to a Sight for Success provider.
Step 5: The student can purchase glasses at the selected provider and receive a subsidy of up to $160. The parent/guardian/student is responsible for any additional cost.
If you have questions, or are looking for more information on the program, please contact Client and Community Support by calling 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7006 or emailing clientcommunitysupport@wdgpublichealth.ca.
