950 million people in the world
live without basic vision care, including eyeglasses.

Children cannot learn, adults cannot work and care for their families, and individuals can’t participate fully in their communities. We want to change that. 

We believe that quality vision care is a fundamental human right. 

GoodVision by the Numbers

GoodVision is providing people with the access to free vision tests, high-quality, affordable glasses and referrals to urgent treatment, including cataract surgery. We want to empower those in need to live self-determined lives. Here are some of our results through 2023:

people around the world need glasses but they cannot afford them.

pair of glasses can change a child’s life and save a person and his or her family from poverty.

people can see properly again and can lead a self-determined life

country programs in Africa, Asia and South America ensure good vision in the global South

SUSTAINABLE

GoodVision glasses are fabricated on an innovative yet simple bending machine.  Cost of material: 1 US Dollar
The glasses are sold between $5 – $15  to cover the raw material and production costs which allows the projects to move towards self-sustainability and reduces need for further financial assistance.

LOCAL

Each program is led and staffed locally. The eyeglasses frames are produced in local fabrication workshops and dispensed by trained GoodVision Technicians. In addition to improving vision, GoodVision is a strong employer establishing permament local vision care infrastructure which contributes to the local economy.
