Each year, OneSight’s trained volunteers and doctors travel around the world to hand-deliver free vision care and eyewear to thousands of adults and children in need. Patients receive a thorough optical exam by licensed eye doctors and eyewear is dispensed. To provide the best quality, complete care, we also partner with local opthalmologists or international doctor outreach organizations to perform optical surgery for those patients referred from our Clinic.
Our trained volunteers distribute both recycled and new prescription eyewear and non-prescription sunglasses during Global Clinics.
- Recycled eyewear is collected in Luxottica retail and Independent optometrist’s offices around the world. Trained volunteers then clean and prepare the eyewear for Clinics at one of 15 Global Eyewear Resource Centers in Australia, Italy and the United States. Two million pairs are needed annually to support our Clinics. Donate yours today at any of OneSight’s eyewear donation locations!
- New eyewear is manufactured at Luxottica plants to help fill more complex prescriptions during Clinics.
In 2012, we will conduct 12 Clinics in 6 countries. To date, OneSight has completed more than 200 Clinics in 37 different countries, helping more than 3.5 million people. See where else in the world we've given the gift of sight to those in need.
