Mission Statement
OneSight is a nonprofit organization providing sustainable access to quality vision care and eyewear in underserved communities worldwide.
About This Cause
OUR PURPOSE -- At OneSight, we are dedicated to eradicating the vision care crisis in our backyard and across the globe. Since 1988, OneSight has partnered with local health organizations, governments, school districts, industry leaders, doctors and volunteers to help more than 10 million people in 54 countries and 49 states and is the leading solution for sustainable vision care access worldwide. OUR VISION -- To fuel people’s potential by helping them see clearly. We seek to create a world where access to vision care is no longer a barrier to human achievement. SERVICES -- Anyone who can’t see clearly should be able to get the help they need. So OneSight sets up short-term and long-term solutions to make sure that happens—not just for today but for decades to come. CHARITABLE CLINICS -- OneSight leads one to two weeklong vision care clinics where volunteers hand-deliver much needed free eye care and eyewear through temporary clinics and mobile vision vans globally and regionally. VOUCHER PROGRAM -- Vouchers are designed to provide free vision screenings, eye exams and glasses to adults and children who do not otherwise have access. The program operates nationally through a network of community partners who identify those in need through local awareness and vision screening events. OneSight’s voucher program partners with local nonprofits such as Lion’s Club and Prevent Blindness to establish financial and visual need. Then patients in need are referred to OneSight’s network of participating eye care professionals who provide free eye exams and glasses. SUSTAINABLE CENTERS -- OneSight has pioneered the development of sustainable vision-care models that provide permanent access to affordable, high-quality vision care to millions in need in communities across African and Asia-Pacific. These initiatives are long-term investments — permanent clinics for those who lack access to affordable, quality care. We train local people to run them. We work with the country to build manufacturing labs to ensure the local community can be self-sufficient. SCHOOL-BASED VISION CENTERS -- OneSight’s school-based vision-center program is designed to empower local communities in developed markets like the U.S. with a sustainable solution to close the vision- care gap by taking advantage of existing health care infrastructure like public health insurance and community spaces in schools.
