The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office partners with Lion’s Eye Institute and the Glazer Vision Foundation to offer free eye exams and glasses to children in June.

The examination will take place at the Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office at 4706 Sydney Rd., in Plant City.

The Glazer Vision Foundation Mobile Vision Clinic will be operating from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on June 23.

Families can sign up their children, ages five to 17 by visiting bit.ly/glazer-glasses.

“Eighty percent of all vision impairment can be prevented or cured. However, one in five children cannot afford eye care,” said Hillsborough County Tax Collector Nancy Millan. “That is why we are honored to partner with the Lion’s Eye Institute and the Glazer Vision Foundation to provide their Mobile Vision Clinic to our community. The Mobile Vision Clinic offers top medical resources and cutting-edge technology to provide eye exams and prescription glasses within three hours to children in need, all at no cost.”
