In celebration of National Children's Vision Month, Canadian eyewear retailer Clearly announced that it would be providing children who are 10 years and younger with glasses for no cost when they visit its Queen Street West store.
Clearly will run the program throughout the month of October, with the retailer kicking it off on the 8th. To pick out a pair of free children's glasses, parents will need to bring a recent prescription, along with their child's health card. Alternatively, they can book an eye appointment through Clearly to ensure their prescription is as up to date as possible.
In order to maintain the safety of all visitors and staff, the retailer has added measures to ensure physical distancing where possible, increased sanitization, and introduced health screenings.
