Kids can see clearly at P.S. 188, thanks to vision center
Students at P.S. 188 are doing a lot more these days than learning their ABC’s. The youngsters are getting valuable lessons in how to take better care of their eyes and preserve their vision.
P.S. 188, at 3314 Neptune Ave. in Coney Island, marked the grand opening of its new OneSight Vision Center on June 22. The all-purpose eye care facility offers exams, glasses and other services for students at P.S. 188, as well as surrounding schools. Officials estimate that the vision center will serve more than 5,000 children.
On Friday morning, as dignitaries were given a tour of the new vision center, children were in examining rooms receiving eye exams or in consultation rooms getting fitted for glasses.
