About
Global Eye Care Projects each year Onesight volunteers travel to countries around the world to hand-deliver free vision care and eyewear to thousands of adults and children. Onesight works closely with local governments, health care officials and independent doctors of Optometry to ensure each clinic runs smoothly and local recipients receive the best possible care. Patients receive a thorough optical exam by licensed eye doctors and eyewear is dispensed. Sunglasses are dispensed to those not needing a prescription. In 2018, Onesight conducted 14 clinics in 11 countries helping almost 47,800 people. In addition to conducting temporary clinics, Onesight seeks out local partners to build permanent infrastructure and develop sustainable vision care solutions that will provide on-going access to affordable, high quality vision care.
