WHAT WE BELIEVE

CLOSING THE VISION CARE GAP

1.1 billion or 1 in 7 people around the world has no way to get an eye exam or pair of glasses— we call that the Vision Care Gap. That means living in a world that is permanently out of focus.

WHY IT MATTERS

Quite simply, when people see better they live better. Students can learn up to twice as much in school. Adults can earn up to 20% more and be 35% more productive. All thanks to a humble pair of glasses.

SUSTAINABLE CENTERS

Permanent vision centers that provide ongoing vision care access. Currently more than 32 million people are able to get an eye exam and a pair of glasses if needed. And that’s just the beginning.

CHARITABLE CLINICS

When sustainable centers are not an option, OneSight and it’s volunteer partners (including Luxottica) hold 1-2 week vision clinics offering free eye exams and glasses made to order right on site.
