See the difference.
The provision of eyeglasses is one of the most impactful and cost-effective health interventions on the planet. A landmark study, Investing in Vision, shows that $4 of economic gain can be made for every $1 spent on eye health care in developing countries.
Sustain livelihoods.
Another recent study published by Lancet Global Health revealed that when an adult receives corrective eyeglasses, their productivity increases by up to 32% and their income by up to 20%. For an individual earning $2 per day, this equates to an increase in earning potential of $140 annually at the household level.
Evidence of impact.
In 2022, through RestoringVision’s programs, 3,109,077 adults received vision-correcting eyeglasses, which correlates to an additional $435,270,780 in earning potential at the household level. In collaboration with our philanthropic partners, we are scaling our work and increasing our impact.
Advancing Sustainable Development Goals.
RestoringVision’s programs advance eight of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
2022 Annual Report
In 2022, RestoringVision accelerated its growth on all fronts while simultaneously making a bold commitment: to solve the global vision crisis.
RestoringVision exceeded its pre-COVID impact and made many advances in establishing the organization as the leader in solving the global vision crisis by growing partnerships at all levels. As a result, we had an outstanding year of impact, reaching 3,398,112 individuals living on less than $2 a day with the vision services and eyeglasses they need to see clearly.
