Our Mission

Sight is the most treasured of our five senses. We see the world and its myriad of colors and shapes through the windows of our eyes. We learn with them. We laugh with them. We communicate with them. We provide for our families with them. We see our loved ones with them.

Sight can make the difference between a life of poverty and a life of opportunity.

Over 1.2 billion people are blind or vision impaired simply because they cannot get the glasses they need. Optometry Giving Sight funds the solution - an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Delivered through support of sustainable primary eye care programs, we can give sight to millions in need.

About Optometry Giving Sight

Optometry Giving Sight raises funds for sustainable vision care services for people who are blind or vision impaired due to uncorrected refractive error. We fund projects in the developing world and areas of need that provide long term delivery of eye care services, training of local people and building of eye care infrastructure.

Optometry Giving Sight is the International Charity of Choice of both the AAO and the CAO.
