PENNY THE PIRATE
A Bedtime Story That's Also An Eye-test
In Australia, one in six children have unidentified eye problems. With the help of Author/illustrator Kevin Waldron, we created Penny the Pirate, a bedtime story that's actually an eye test, allowing parents to tell whether their child has a vision issue as they read to them. The book is available as a free gift in-store, or through public libraries and state schools. Since 2014, Penny the Pirate tested over a million children across Australia.
OPSM's charity, OneSIGHT, is also using Penny to reach children across remote regions of Australia.
