Local eye screening programs for children in need.

With one in four children in the United States facing vision impairment, CharityVision introduces "SightBuddies," a school initiative to make eye care accessible to low-income children. We partner with local doctors and school districts to help them see the world clearly and confidently.

Thanks to our partners, donating a pair of prescription glasses for only $10. Please help us provide more children with an easy tool for success in school and life!

Why SightBuddies?

Poverty, lack of insurance, and other issues prevent access to proper care. To correct this problem, Sightbuddies provides free or low-cost glasses and vision care to school-age children. Your support can help these kids succeed academically and socially, and give them the chance to reach their full potential.
