I will never forget the day in 3rd grade when I had to go to the eye doctor with my mom. I knew that I had issues with my eyes before that day because I was already struggling with seeing the blackboard from across the classroom. Needless to say, I wasn’t surprised when I returned to school the next day sporting some fresh pink glasses.

That’s me, a few months later as a 4th grader at my birthday party rocking my sweet pink glasses.

Now that I have kids, I am not at all surprised that one of them has awful vision just like me and I’m sure out of the 3 youngest, at least 1 of them will as well. These days we are fortunate to be able to wear contacts (even though I wear my glasses most days).

Unfortunately, there are others, around the globe, who aren’t fortunate enough to have access to vision care and OneSight.org wants to help change that.

OneSight is an independent nonprofit committed to eradicating the global vision care crisis. Their promise is simple: they will not stop until the world can see.  Their mission is to provide access to eye exams and glasses to underserved communities around the world. This is done this through quality short-term care and long-term sustainable solutions. OneSight provides charitable and sustainable solutions to meet both the immediate and long-term vision care needs of underserved communities, both internationally and domestically. They believe that through permanent access and sustainable practices, vision care can become readily available to every community, country and continent in our lifetime.
