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.
A simple pair of eyeglasses can change a child's or an adult's life. When a child can see clearly, learning becomes possible, confidence returns, and the future opens.
Your gift helps First Sight expand global vision care through portable vision screening programs that provide customized prescription eyeglasses on site and on the spot.
To date, we have provided more than 150,000 pairs of eyeglasses in more than 34 countries, empowering children to learn, adults to work, and entire communities to thrive.
Sponsor a School Program
Sponsoring a school is one of the clearest ways to change lives. Your sponsorship supports vision screening and immediate eyeglasses provided, on site and on the spot. For an organized and supervised delivery system, we partner with a prominent NGO, local Lions or Rotary Clubs, schools, and adult educational facilities.
Every gift, no matter the size, directly funds lenses, frames, and deployments through our trusted partners like Rotary International, Lions Club, AdventHealth, NGOs, schools, and faith-based organizations. First Sight has no overhead or administrative expenses, so 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to help school children and adults get the Gift of Clear Vision in the underserved communities. (*Administrative and shipping costs for international distribution are covered by Nizar and Dr. Marsha Mamdani).
