Visionworks: The Official Eye Care & Eyewear Retailer of Little League

Visionworks is here to help you see all the action at the Little League Baseball® World Series, while reminding you to keep your eyes healthy and to schedule eye exams whether your child is a tee baller, or competing on the field as a teenager! Visionworks, which operates more than 700 optical stores across the U.S., is teaming up with Little League® to become the Official Eyewear and Eye Care Retailer of Little League Baseball and Softball. Together, the organizations will raise awareness about the importance of annual eye exams and protective eyewear for school-aged children, especially those children who play sports.

Between dental checkups, doctor’s exams, and everything else we do to keep our kids healthy, it’s easy to forget about our children’s vision. Believe it or not, 1 in 4 children has a vision problem. They are committed to making a difference both on and off the ballfield. Spread the word!

According to the American Optometric Association, vision plays an important role in how well children perform in outdoor games and sports. Playing catch in the backyard or participating in team sports at school requires clear distance vision, good depth perception, wide field of vision and effective eye-hand coordination.

As the official eyewear and eye care retailer of Little League, Visionworks said it has the opportunity to further the conversation about the importance of annual eye exams. Visionworks will work alongside Little League Baseball and Softball to provide offers for Little League families and stress the importance of proper vision being critical for a player’s experience. Visionworks will also work with Little League’s urban Initiative program to provide vision assistance for underprivileged players and teams.

“Knowing that vision is fundamental to kids’ success in school, and their performance on and off the playing field, is a compelling reason for our entire company to rally around this cause,” said Jim Eisen, president and CEO of HVHC Inc., and president of Visionworks. “We are committed to raising awareness of the importance of annual eye exams, and this year we’re excited to step up to the plate and go to bat for Little League members across the country.”
