Imagine a child squinting at a blackboard, unable to read the lessons that could shape their future. Or an adult struggling to provide for their family because simple tasks like sewing or farming become impossible without clear sight.
Over 1 billion people (per WHO) worldwide live with uncorrected refractive errors—yet for many, the solution is as simple as a pair of eyeglasses. At First Sight Eyeglasses, Inc., we are changing that to one pair at a time. 85% of children’s learning is visual, yet 10%-12% of children worldwide struggle to see the board clearly.
Through our innovative, patent-pending “Lens Tree” Vision Kit, untrained volunteers can screen vision and assemble custom prescription eyeglasses on-site in under 10 minutes. No electricity, no optometrist required. Anyone can screen and fit customized prescription eyeglasses on the spot in under 10 minutes. Validated by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, our system delivers high-quality glasses free of charge to those who need them most.
To date, we have provided over 145,000 pairs of eyeglasses in more than 32 countries, empowering children to learn, adults to work, and entire communities to thrive.
