Quick Fix Star Tia Mowery, New York Times Best Selling Author Kelle Hampton and Parenting & Youth Development Expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa Join Pearle Vision's "Eyes On The Prize" Social Media Web-SeriesNEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2021 /CNW/ -- Pearle Vision announced today the launch of "Eyes On The Prize," a two-part social media web-series in which they are teaming up with renowned parenting and youth development expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa, New York Times Best-Selling Author Kelle Hampton, and star of the breakout web-series Quick Fix Actress Tia Mowery for a live, informative online conversation and Q&A. The discussions will cover the upcoming school year and advice for parents on how to work through the impact the past 18 months has had on mental and physical health, including the impact of further delaying annual wellness items such as an eye exam. Doug Zarkin, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Pearle Vision says "Pearle Vision wanted to invest in providing a forum for parents to come together to discuss what is anything but a normal back-to-school season. After a year of remote learning student's eyes were put to the test with increased screen time and the possibility that their annual eye-exam was missed. According to the American Optometric Association, One in four children in the U.S. have undetected vision problems which could impair learning. Experts believe that approximately 80 percent of learning comes through a child's eyes. So, the importance of an annual eye exam is truly a pathway to unlock a child's potential."
Kelle Hampton says "I'm thrilled to partner with Pearle Vision to help support moms as we navigate the complex challenges of returning to school during a pandemic and after a collective stressful year. We're all needing community right now and I'm happy to be part of a space supporting moms as they meet their child's needs this year, from important eye exams to hugs." Dr. Deborah Gilboa says "Resilience is the ability to navigate change while being (or raising) the kind of person we can admire. The changes we face this fall in particular bring a host of worries about our children - for their mental health, their physical wellbeing, and their academic success. The good news is that you don't have to handle these concerns alone. Joining Pearle Vision on their "Eyes On The Prize" web-series I believe will offer parents more support to help them create a plan for themselves and with their children to navigate this new normal just a little easier." "Mental and physical ealth is something I have long been passionate about. With my son's recent diagnosis of vision acuity issues, joining Pearle Vision's "Eyes On The Prize" web-series is a fantastic opportunity to openly discuss the challenges today's parents are facing head on as we head into the heart of the fall 2021 school year. They say it takes a village, and I'm proud to lend my voice and experiences to the discussion" says Tia Mowry.
