Eye Health Education

The Eddie Eyeglasses Way

Eddie Eyeglasses is a trained actor dressed as a pair of giant eyeglasses who talks to young children in a very entertaining way about:

A. Eye safety—in the classroom, the playground and at home
B. Regular visits to the eye doctor
C. Why some of us wear eyeglasses
D. Helping blind people
E. Eyeglass Collection Drive through the local Lions Club

Thousands of children from pre-school to 2nd Grade have already enjoyed the Eddie Program and learned from it. Many of them have contributed old eyeglasses to the Lions Eyeglasses campaign. Numerous testimonials from these children, their parents, their teachers, and sponsors reflect the educational contribution of Eddie’s presentations.

Sponsors can rest assured that the Eddie program is non-traditonal classroom education at its best. Millrow provides a total, turn-key professional package, which includes the following:

1. Scheduling the show and arranging for Eddie to be on site
2. Providing eye education hand-out material for the youngsters
3. Arranging media coverage

If you are an educator or a state or county agency and you feel that the Eddie program suits your educational mission, contact us. If you are a Lions Club, a School PTA or PTO, an eye doctor or a foundation, whose mission includes service to the community, contact us. There is a very good chance that we can link up providers with children’s groups that want the program, making it a Win/Win for both groups.
