Local Impact, Global Reach
Empowering human potential through sight™
More than 1.3 billion people globally lack access to the vision care they need to live life to the fullest. Eyes of Hope is working together with doctors of optometry, community and charitable partners, and public officials to increase access to eye care and eyewear where it’s needed most.
