About us our vision
We’re creating a world where a lack of access to vision care is no longer a barrier to human achievement and possibility. We won’t stop until the world can see.
This is who we are
and where we came from
OneSight is the independent nonprofit with the solutions, people and resources to eradicate the vision care crisis for good. We believe that when the world sees better, the world lives better—and that with clear vision, we can take on humanity’s greatest challenges. Together with donors, volunteers, partners and sponsors, we bring eye exams, glasses and permanent vision centers to the individuals and places that need eye care the most. We’ve impacted over 9 million people in 46 countries and counting—creating opportunity and sustainable change along the way. And to think, it all started in 1988 with an idea to give away 25 pairs of glasses to local kids who couldn’t afford them.
To date, we’ve hosted over 900 charitable
clinics that provide immediate access
to eye exams and
glasses
So far, we’ve established 56 sustainable
centers in countries like Rwanda, China,
and the United States, creating jobs, educational
opportunities, and
permanent access to
vision care
This work takes a lot of work
Our team works incredibly hard every day to turn their passion and your support into real impact.
Make it your job
to do good
To bring vision care access to people all over the
world, we need passionate, dedicated,
action-oriented individuals to make it happen.
