Eagles Eye Mobile

The Eagles Eye Mobile provides free comprehensive eye exams and prescription glasses to thousands of underserved children in the Greater Philadelphia area. Since the inception of the Eagles Eye Mobile in 1996, Eagles Youth Partnership has examined the eyes of almost 23,000 children in the school districts of Philadelphia and Chester-Upland. A large majority of the students examined need and receive free prescription eyeglasses; many others have undergone vision-saving surgery.

"If you've ever seen a child put on glasses for the first time and be able to see the definition of a leaf or words on the blackboard or read a label, you'd know how good it feels for me to give back in this way."

- Jermane Mayberry, Former Eagles Offensive Lineman
