　　Leonard Turkel couldn't believe his ears when he learned what happened to the results of eye screenings (筛查) of thousands of Miami-Dade County public school students.

　　Although the tests are mandated (授权) by the state,the businessman-turned-philanthropist (慈善家) discovered that nobody was actually using the scores to ensure that kids could see the blackboard in class.

　　Today,a sight-laboratory-in-a-bus financed by Turkel pulls up to (追上) schools in low-income areas,not only providing eyesight tests for children but also ensuring that glasses,when needed,are made and delivered within days—all for free.

　　It was in the mid-1990s that Turkel started the sight program almost by chance.Important in opening a primary care center in the low-income Miami community of Overtown,Turkel said he was told that the eye screening he was planning for children was already being done by the school system.

　　But then he learned that the results of school screenings—to be performed several times during a child's schooling,along with tests for hearing and scoliosis (脊柱侧凸)—were essentially(基本的) sitting in drawers.The school system could tell anybody who asked how many kids had failed sight screenings,but nobody was getting the kids help.Turkel decided to change that.

　　"Once the kids who need help are identified,there had to be a way to go to the schools and provide them with whatever they needed," said Turkel,president of the Miami-based nonprofit Turkel Resource Foundation (基金会) and co-founder of the University of Miami business school's Center for Nonprofit Management.

　　The program,which at its height has served about 6,000 students a year,has faced financial obstacles but is operating today under a new grant (拨款)and with the help of 14 organizations.All schools in the 360,000-student system are now covered by the program.
