Fuel up to Play 60 Student Ambassador Summit

December 12th, 2019

The Vision Council attended the Fuel Up to Play 60 Student Ambassador Summit last summer in Cleveland, Ohio to highlight the need for students to check their eyes. Students participated in sports activities with simulated vision impairment – ranging from astigmatism to macular degeneration. Students and teachers learned the importance of protecting your vision throughout the year and especially when playing sports.

Fuel Up to Play 60, the leading program in-school health and wellness program empowers students and educators to work together to build healthier schools and create healthy habits to help students become high achieving. Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by National Football League (NFL) and National Dairy Council (NDC), founded by America’s dairy farmers, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Comprehensive Eye Appointments for Students

Eye examinations are an important part of health maintenance for everyone. For students, eye exams can play an important role in normal development and is closely linked to the learning process. Students who have trouble seeing or interpreting what they see often have trouble with their schoolwork.

Many times, students do not complain of vision problems simply because they do not know what “normal” means in regards to their vision. If you are a student or know a student that needs a current exam, be sure to schedule an eye examination to rule out an underlying visual cause.
