Brandy Scombordi-Raghu, OD The Eye Institute at Drexel Director of Optometric Clinical Outreach, Assistant Professor, Pediatrics and Binocular Vision, School Vision Program, Salus at Drexel University, The Eye Institute
Dr Scombordi-Raghu oversees and assists with vision screenings at approximately 53 schools in Philadelphia and other school districts in Pennsylvania. As a part of the program, when a student fails a vision screening, the nurse sends home a note recommending them for an eye exam. If the parent can’t get the child an eye exam, a team from TEI goes to the school with the Big Red Bus, the University’s traveling eye clinic, to perform eye exams. Or they are bussed to TEI for care. After the exam, students are given two pairs of glasses; one to keep at school and the other to bring home with them.
