Story

Please help me raise funds to help the 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. 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. Please donate!
