You have seen the devastation caused by the massive earthquake in Haiti last week. Reports suggest that tens of thousands of people have lost their lives or are injured and hundreds of thousands have lost their homes and their possessions - for many people that includes their glasses.

Imagine trying to rebuild your life and care for your family with what little you have left. Now imagine doing that without the glasses that allow you to see clearly.

We urgently need your help.

Optometry Giving Sight is working with partner organizations including Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (VOSH), the International Centre for Eyecare Education (ICEE) and the Caribbean Optometrists Association (CARIOA) to identify and fund projects that will provide emergency relief and assist in the reconstruction process through the establishment of sustainable vision care.

Even before the earthquake, access to vision care for most of Haiti’s population was limited. In the aftermath, Optometry Giving Sight is committed to funding sustainable, quality vision care services including the training of local eye care professionals and the establishment of Vision Centers.

Please donate now and help us give sight to people in desperate need.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Victor J. Connors
CEO and Chair
