Veterans Helped by OneSight

OneSight volunteers and doctors in Chicago provided eye care and eyewear for more than 190 deserving Chicago area veterans as part of an annual Stand Down event. Hosted by the Veterans Administration, Stand Down is held for veterans of all armed services. The majority of veterans who benefit from the program are homeless.

The partnership with Stand Down began in 1999 as a Pearle Vision initiative and has expanded over the years with the support of OneSight. In 12 years, more than 3,000 veterans have received eye care and eyewear through this event. Readers are dispensed onsite, and prescription eyewear is generously manufactured by volunteers. Veterans can then pick up their eyewear at a Chicago social service agency.

“It’s an honor to partner with our retail brands, OneSight and Stand Down to give back to those who have served our country,” said Michael Maziarek, New Store Operations & Special Projects Manager for Pearle Vision. “My hope is that a new pair of eyewear will lead to a better quality of life for those we’ve helped during this year’s event."
