I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Alcon. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I've been wearing glasses for nearly 10 years, but I needed them far longer than that. Growing up I think was too embarrassed to speak to my parents about my problem, and more importantly, I didn't want to be seen as the "nerdy" girl at school — Oh, have times changed and now wearing glasses is cool!
Now that I know the difference between good vision with correction and poor vision without, it amazes me how I went so long without glasses or contacts. Without them, I wouldn't be able to enjoy all the wonderful sights on my travels ... like this #EyeSawGood photo I took of some "locks of love" in Venice, Italy.
Couples write their names on a padlock, attach it to a bridge and throw keys in the water to proclaim their love.
My lack of getting vision correction at a young age wasn't due to finances, but many children in the United States can’t afford to receive proper eye exams or glasses to help them see.
Alcon developed the#EyeSawGood campaign to provide eye exams and eyeglasses to children in need. It’s simple to get involved ... see good ... share good ... and make good happen! All you have to do is tweet a picture of something you deem good and include the hashtag #EyeSawGood. For every picture shared Alcon will donate $1, up to $50,000, to fund more than 1,000 eye exams and eyeglasses for children in need.

I've seen that before on tv! What a fun idea.
Thanks for sharing this campaign. It's wonderful!

Eye care is so important (this comes from someone who has neglected hers, so I know of what I speak). I love this campaign!
Jenn @TheRebelChick
This is such a great promotion! I love anything that helps give back to those in need!

I love the photo! When I was a kid I always wanted glasses because my BFF had them but I didn't have any vision issues. I'm sending a tweet!
Jenn
I love that they are giving back like this. Looks like they are up to 1,972!

I love this campaign. As someone with poor eye sight, I can't imagine not being able to have glasses that enable me to see!
Theresa
This is such a great campaign.

It is so hard as a parent sometimes to realize your child needs glasses, great campaign and what an awesome photo!
