What are OneSight Charitable Vision Clinics?

Charitable Vision Clinics are up to one-week events that are set up by OneSight volunteers with the help of local support. EssilorLuxottica employees and doctors attend clinics to hand-deliver free vision care and eyewear. Patients receive a thorough optical exam by a licensed optometrist and new eyewear is dispensed. These clinic teams are a blend of skilled optical and non-optical team members and include a balance of alumni and first-time volunteers. All team members selected for Charitable Vision Clinics will have pre-clinic and onsite training from experienced clinic alumni and doctors. In 2022, clinic assignments will be selected regionally.

What are OneSight Manufacturing Clinics?

Manufacturing Clinics are up to one-week manufacturing events hosted at a OneSight Resource Center in North America. This unique clinic model focuses on manufacturing complete pairs of eyewear in prescription ranges most commonly needed for OneSight clinic patients. Manufacturing teams are comprised of skilled manufacturing and non-manufacturing team members. All team members selected for Manufacturing Clinics will receive onsite training. In 2022, these events will only be held in Cincinnati/Midwest Region.

What are OneSight Sustainable Projects?

This opportunity is different from a traditional OneSight Charitable Vision Clinic. Sustainable projects require more in-depth, extended engagement with EssilorLuxottica employees with specific expertise. Our goal is to engage a global team of cross-functional experts to develop OneSight’s sustainable projects including opening permanent vision centers in countries where we serve. Team members are selected based on their special skills ranging from optics, manufacturing, finance, marketing and beyond. These teams will work together to establish permanent in-country vision centers. In 2022, clinic assignments will remain focused on selection at a regional level.

Why should I apply for a OneSight Clinic experience?

Volunteering for a Charitable Vision Clinic, Manufacturing Clinic or Sustainable Project provides incredible personal and professional development opportunities, including leadership and team building skills. These experiences offer the chance to work side-by-side with EssilorLuxottica colleagues from around the world while helping those most in need of vision care.

Am I eligible to apply?
