1.2 billion people around the world suffering needlessly from impaired vision that could be easily corrected, your support of the World Sight Day Challenge helps communities around the world develop accessible and sustainable eye care.

Optometry Giving Sights impact through vision care projects spans nearly 40 countries around the globe. Your support makes it possible to: train local eye care professionals; establish and support vision centers and schools of optometry where there were none; and deliver eye exams and glasses where they were not available before.

One such example is Claudia (pictured above) from Mexico. She faced great difficulty in being able to walk to school, see the board and play with her friends simply because she could not see. Today she is all smiles thanks to our partner organizations Ver Bien / See Well school-based program, which provided her with a free vision exam and a new pair of glasses.

Your donation to the 2020 World Sight Day Challenge in September and October will help more under-resourced communities such as Claudias get the services they need. Your support is more important than ever!
