Teaming up with MyEyeDr., two-time WNBA All-Star Allisha Gray (c) recently visited a school in Georgia to speak with students about maintaining healthy vision.

  
ATLANTA—MyEyeDr., a leading provider of eye health services, announced that it recently teamed up with two-time WNBA All-Star and 2020 3x3 basketball gold medalist, Allisha Gray, to promote the importance of eye health in youth. At the ExamJam event on Oct. 8, 2024, students at Boyce L. Ansley School in Atlanta attended an interactive eye health fair where they learned about the importance of taking care of your vision and how to properly wear eyewear from Gray, according to the announcement.

“I know how important eye health is when it comes to feeling confident and being successful. Wearing glasses helped me do better in school and in sports,” said Gray. “It means so much to me to be able to do this for deserving students in Atlanta.”

According to the announcement, the Boyce L. Ansley School in Atlanta is a tuition-free private school for children that are currently experiencing homelessness. Due to their circumstances, many do not have access to affordable eyecare. MyEyeDr., which has eight locations in the Atlanta metro area, said it aims to serve communities and ensure advanced eyecare services can be available to all, welcoming all insurance.

 
“At MyEyeDr., our mission is to bring together a focus on eye health with a wide selection of eyewear so that communities across the country can see, look and be their best selves,” said Sue Downes, CEO of MyEyeDr. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring this to life in partnership with Allisha.”

In a follow-up to the ExamJam event, MyEyeDr.’s team of experienced optometrists will return to the school in November to provide each student with a comprehensive eye exam and, if needed, free eyeglasses, according to the announcement.

MyEyeDr. has been delivering comprehensive eyecare and eyewear solutions for more than 20 years. The company covers 31 states and the District of Columbia with more than 850 locations nationwide.
