Courts invites nominations of students for free eye exams and glasses

Courts Optical invites nominations for its annual FREE Eye Examination and Glasses Initiative for children —’The Brighter View Initiative’.

Launched in 2019, the Brighter View Initiative awards students between the ages of 7 and 17 years with free eye examinations and provides free glasses to qualified recipients.

“This year, we are continuing the program and inviting students to our branches to be screened and fitted for glasses,” explained Llana Casimir, Business Manager, Courts Optical.

This year, Courts Optical has opened the initiative with an island-wide call for nominations.
