In a world built on the ability to see, vision, the most dominant of our senses, is vital at every turn of our lives.

Two dollars.
Endless impact.
For every $2 invested in RestoringVision, you advance our mission of bringing clear vision to one person living on less than $2 per day. A growing body of research demonstrates, among other benefits, that receiving a pair of eyeglasses improves productivity, increases individual income, enhances independence and confidence, and improves overall quality of life and well-being. For example, a recent study examining the effect of reading glasses on workers in Bangladesh demonstrated a 33% increase in median income compared to individuals who did not receive reading glasses. Among individuals who received glasses through a RestoringVision program in Uganda, 96% report improved confidence, 87% report improved ability to work, and 94% report improved quality of life. This is a powerful testament to how social responsibility can create a global ripple effect. Our efforts extend across communities and nations, igniting transformative change that resonates worldwide.
