Vision Centers in the United States
Since 1988, we’ve been committed to bringing high quality eye exams & glasses to people who have no other way to get them in 49 states. We’ve opened 20 permanent vision care centers in 5 different states to ensure that at-need communities have long-term solutions.
1 in 4 students in the US has an undiagnosed vision problem.
Some know that their vision is fuzzy, but lack access to the financial or physical means to get an eye exam or pair of glasses. Others go undiagnosed, not realizing that the details of their world are full of crisp edges and unique features. It’s a solvable problem, but one that requires permanent solutions.
