Our sustainable centers establish permanent vision care access
These centers don’t leave when we do. They’re there to stay. So local people have a place to go and receive affordable eye care for generations to come. And, to supply glasses regionally, we build manufacturing labs near or in the same country that are run by people who already live there.

They open up new educational
opportunities at local universities
And they empower
communities to be self-sustaining far after our time there
Sustainable centers

Community-based vision centers in Rwanda
Too expensive. Too far. These are just a couple of the reasons people in Rwanda couldn’t get the vision care they needed. Now with help from OneSight, sustainable vision care centers are helping Rwandans bring eye care to their own communities and their own neighbors.
The School-based Vision Center Model in Cincinnati
75% of Cincinnati Public School students live in poverty—making it extremely difficult and nearly impossible for their families to access vision care. Then with help from partners in the area, OneSight opened a vision care center at Oyler School which now serves all city public school students in need.
