About

To empower lives by restoring vision for millions of people in need. We do this by creating equitable access to critical vision services and eyeglasses for individuals living on less than $2/day. Our programs and vision interventions are at the intersection of restoringvision's global programs which are implemented in partnership with an unparalleled network of 3,000 ingos, NGOS and government partners. Our global access program and our community outreach program reach over 6 million people. These programs provide individuals with the vision services and eyeglasses they need to see clearly in order to live independent, productive and healthy lives. Our programs focus primarily on the provision of vision screenings and near-vision eyeglasses to address presbyopia, which impacts 826 million people worldwide. We also address other eye issues including myopia through the provision of eye exams and minus eyeglasses for adults and children and the provision of protective sunglasses to prevent the early onset of cataracts and other eye diseases.
