RestoringVision

Location: San Rafael, United States of America

Summary

RestoringVision works to address the unmet need for eyeglasses (primarily readers) for people living in poverty who have vision impairments, live in communities lacking access to eyeglasses, and have no available income to afford them, or both. Our Global Access Program creates equitable access to glasses for this population worldwide. A 2018 study verified that a simple pair of reading glasses increased productivity by 32%. For those earning $2 a day, this can mean an additional $140 per year.
