In 2022, Seneca Polytechnic launched the I-Care Project in partnership with EssilorLuxottica and the ONESIGHT EssilorLuxottica Foundation. This initiative helps educate the Seneca community on how to prevent sight loss, and protect, preserve and prioritize vision health. It also makes vision screening and full comprehensive eye exams accessible to the Seneca community.
Led by staff and faculty from the Opticianry program, the I-Care Project allows members of the Seneca community access to vision screening and a comprehensive eye exam performed by a licensed optometrist in our cutting-edge refraction lab located at the Newnham Campus, along with access to a pair of glasses through a participating LensCrafters.
Thanks to our very generous donors, EssilorLuxottica and ONESIGHT EssilorLuxottica Foundation, the I-Care Project is barrier-free for students.
Appointments for July 2024 are now open. Should you have questions about the I-Care project, please feel free to reach out to icare@senecapolytechnic.ca.
