One World, One Passion, One Sight

 


How can you help the world see?

Your used eyewear represents a whole new world of opportunity for someone in need.  OneSight volunteers will recycle and hand-deliver your glasses through their Global Clinic.
As your students and families replace their eyewear their used eyewear can easily be donated. 

Create a collection bin at your school.  Once you have collected several pair, they may be donated at the following locations:
LensCrafters
Pearle Vision
Sears Optical
Target Optical

$1.00 helps recycle donated eyewear for a Global Clinic
$5.00 supports an eye exam for a North American student struggling with poor vision
$10.00 helps provide eyewear to a person in need
Hold a fundraiser and donate online at www.onesight.org


"Immediately upon receiving glasses, an 80-year old recipient sat down and began reading a stack of letters she brought with her to the Clinic.  The translator explained to me that the recipient had been receiving letters from her family for years, but was never able to read them.  She began to cry because she could finally read the letters and I began to cry because I realized just how much we were able to touch her life."
 -Shawn, OneSight Volunteer
