You Buy A Pair of Glasses, We Donate A Pair of Prescription Glasses

How It Works...

1. Our customers buy a pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses.
2. We then provide a new pair of prescription glasses to one of the many eye care charities who are transforming access to eye care services in developing countries.
3. These glasses will be then given to somebody who needs them such as a teacher in Zambia, a seamstress in Ghana or a school pupil in Burma.

Everyone has the right to a pair of glasses to help correct poor sight and to improve their quality of life. Together we can make a difference.

We would like to thank you in advance for your support.

Key facts about our world sight problems:

Deteriorating sight can have a devastating impact on people's lives and livelihoods something as simple as a pair of glasses with the correct prescription can turn such potential despair into hope. Eye care services are beyond the reach of most people in the developing world. 

•670 million people worldwide (10% of the global population) suffer because they don't have the right spectacles to achieve good vision. This can easily be treated with a new pair of prescription glasses.  

•Over half a billion older people have blurred vision that effects close-work such as reading or sewing. This is due to ageing of the eye, a very normal process. This can easily be treated with a new pair of prescription glasses.  

•13 million children around the world risk missing their education because they can’t see well enough to learn. This can easily be treated with a new pair of prescription glasses.  

•The main reasons people cannot get glasses in low and middle income countries are: a lack of trained eye care professionals; inadequate facilities to get an eye test and to manufacture glasses; and because the high cost of glasses is often too expensive for the average citizen.
