Optometry Giving Sight

Optometry Giving Sight raises the funds to allow those implementing programs around the world to do what they do best – give sight to those in need. Below are just some of the agencies and non-government organizations (NGOs) that are doing work in refractive error programs in countries most in need.

Optometry Giving Sight is a global response to a global problem. With at least 670 million people around the world in need of eye care services, we can only make a significant impact on this global problem by working together.
