Children’s eyes are especially vulnerable during sports and play—but many eye injuries are preventable.

Whether your child is playing baseball, basketball, soccer, or racquet sports, taking a few simple precautions can make a big difference:

✔️ Use protective eyewear made with impact-resistant lenses (not regular glasses)
✔️ Make sure equipment fits properly and is sport-appropriate
✔️ Encourage awareness—teach kids to avoid rough or unsafe play
✔️ Schedule regular eye exams to ensure clear, safe vision on and off the field

Healthy vision helps children perform their best and stay safe while having fun all summer long.

Seeing the Difference: School Nurse Perspectives from Kenosha

Through our partnership with Kenosha Unified School District and dedicated school nurses, PBW and our partners help connect children to needed vision care across the Kenosha community and throughout the state. School nurses play a vital role in identifying concerns early and supporting student success in the classroom.

One Kenosha Unified School District school nurse shared:

“It is so rewarding when a child we refer receives glasses. I received my first pair at five years old and still remember seeing the world clearly for the first time. I imagine the children we support feel the same when they are able to see in the classroom." - Nurse Becky, KUSD

With support from the Kenosha Community Foundation, this work continues to expand access to vision care for children in Kenosha.

A huge thank you to the incredible Baird employees who volunteered during Baird Gives Back week.

Together, volunteers helped vision screen 472 students and referred 164 students for further eye care — an impact that will truly make a difference in the lives of Wisconsin children.

Vision screenings like these would not be possible without dedicated volunteers who give their time to help students access this critical first step toward healthy vision and learning success.

Wisconsin is one of only nine states that does not require school vision screenings, which means many children may never receive a screening without the support of schools and community volunteers like the Baird team.

Thank you for helping us connect students and families to the care they need and for making healthy vision a priority in our communities!
