Built for Independent Optical Practices
As vision care professionals, you know how transformative clear vision is. You see it every day — the moment a patient puts on their new glasses and the world sharpens into focus.
When your practice joins the Alliance, every eyewear purchase becomes an act of global impact.
But here’s the reality: more than 950 million people worldwide need glasses and can’t get them. In many low-income countries, access to eye care is nearly impossible, creating barriers to education, employment, and independence.
That’s where you come in.
By joining The GoodVision Alliance, your practice becomes part of a global movement bringing vision care to those who need it most — while giving you a powerful way to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
A New Model for Global Vision Care
GoodVision doesn’t import glasses and volunteers from abroad. We do something better.
We hire and train local technicians, build local vision care infrastructure, and manufacture frames on-site in the communities we serve — using innovative, durable spring steel wire. Material costs for each pair of glasses is only $1. This approach creates sustainable jobs while keeping costs remarkably low.
This isn’t traditional charity. It’s building permanent vision care capacity in communities that need it most.
Global Impact
GoodVision’s impact as of January 2026
Simple. Automated. No hassle.
As a member of The GoodVision Alliance, you commit to $1 per eyewear purchase. That’s the core of it — that single dollar provides someone with life-changing glasses.
Here’s how it works: tell us your estimated annual eyewear volume during sign-up. We’ll calculate your monthly contribution and set up automated recurring payments. No POS integration required. No complex tracking. Just a simple monthly charge that runs in the background while you focus on your patients.
Want to amplify your impact? You can invite your customers to match your $1 contribution — and we’ll provide QR codes, signage, and conversation guides to make it easy. But customer participation is completely optional. Your commitment alone is what powers this.
Prefer a flat monthly or quarterly amount? No problem. During sign-up, you’ll choose the model that works best for your practice.
GoodVision USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all contributions are 100% tax-deductible.
*Inviting your customers to match and double your impact is optional
“GoodVision’s approach as a vision charity has always been sustainable, innovative, and efficient. Their concept is brilliant. This is why I’ve been a long-term partner of GoodVision USA.”

The GoodVision Alliance fills that gap. No corporate strings. No channel conflicts. No building a program from scratch. Just a simple, powerful way to differentiate your practice while changing lives around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will my funds be used?
Your contributions directly fund the production and distribution of GoodVision’s affordable eyeglasses, support sustainable local manufacturing, and train vision technicians in underserved communities. Each $1 covers the full cost of producing one pair of durable spring steel frames.
Do my customers have to participate?
No. Customer matching is completely optional. Your $1 per purchase commitment is the core of the program. If you’d like to invite patients to participate, we’ll provide QR codes, signage, and conversation guides to make it easy — but it’s entirely your choice.
How will this partnership benefit my practice?
Members receive a complete marketing toolkit, recognition on GoodVision’s platforms, and a compelling story that resonates with the 69% of consumers who prefer purpose-driven businesses. It’s a genuine competitive differentiator, especially for independents competing against chains and online retailers.
How is this different from other optical giving programs?
The GoodVision Alliance is the only turnkey CSR partnership designed specifically for independent practices. There’s no channel conflict (you can carry any brands), you receive a complete marketing toolkit (not just a logo), and GoodVision’s sustainability model creates local jobs rather than dependency. No other program in optical offers this combination.
What tax benefits will my practice receive?
All contributions are fully tax-deductible as charitable donations to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. GoodVision provides appropriate documentation for your tax records.
How much time will this require from my staff?
Almost none. Payment is automated, marketing materials are ready to display, and we provide everything your team needs to talk about the program naturally. Most practices spend less than 30 minutes on initial setup.
Can I change my level of contribution after signing up with this initiative?
Yes, you can adjust your commitment at any time. Additionally, we will review your membership with you annually to discuss the opportunity to adjust your contribution level based on your practice’s growth and capacity.
How do I explain this to my patients?
We provide a simple staff conversation guide with natural talking points for different moments — the waiting room, the exam, checkout. The key message is simple: “For every pair of glasses we sell, we help provide a pair to someone in need.” Most patients love it.
How do I enroll my practice?
Simply complete our quick sign-up form. We will guide you through the process and have you up and running within days.
