'QuieroVer' School Eye Screening Program

This initiative is made possible by the generosity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and local partners such as the Dr. Rudy Gutierrez Ophthalmic Clinic.
Eyeglasses and Equipment Donations

We distribute eyeglasses to patients with refractive errors and donate ophthalmic equipment to partner clinics. In 2024, 2,174 pairs of eyeglasses were provided.
Strategic Partnerships and Mobile Clinics

We collaborate with institutions such as the Dominican Optometry Association, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, CECANOT, Oftalmolaser, Funvision, and Clínica Bayaguana to deliver mobile clinics to communities in Santiago, Santo Domingo, Bayaguana, Yamasa, and San Antonio de Guerra.

Stories from the field

Empowering efficiency

Our Latin American directors convened in the Dominican Republic to strengthen partnerships, share expertise, and optimize school eye screenings for greater efficiency this year.
Church Provides Eyecare In The D.R. 🇩🇴

Since starting our partnership with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Dominican Republic last month, we have donated 95 glasses and screened 894 children in local schools. This is just the start – our alliance will help 50 schools and 15,000 children this year.
Marco

This is Marco, a preschooler among the 623 children aged 4 to 12 who were screened at the Padres de la Patria School in Santo Domingo. He is thrilled to get glasses in his favorite color, blue. His mother notes that he often held objects close to see clearly and frequently felt eye discomfort. She explained, “I want him to see well so he can learn!”
Going Where Others Won’t

Last month, CharityVision conducted an eye screening at Santa Filomena Elementary School in Los Guandules—one of the most underserved areas of Santo Domingo. Despite difficult access and a community often overlooked due to stigma and discrimination, our team and partners screened dozens of children, prescribed 71 pairs of glasses, and referred 7 for further care with an ophthalmologist through one of our local partners.
This is exactly where sight-saving work matters most!
