The Gift of Sight Organization:
Around the world, in developing
and industrialized countries alike, millions of people suffer from
poor vision either because they have no access to or they simply
cannot afford eye care. Poor vision impedes a child's ability
to learn in school and robs an adult of independence, mobility and
quality of life. Give the Gift of Sight is based on the belief that
clear vision is a right, not a luxury. We are committed to
delivering clear vision to those in need. Founded in 1988, Give the
Gift of Sight is a family of charitable programs providing free
vision care and eyewear to underprivileged individuals in North
America and in developing countries around the world. Sponsored
by Give the Gift of Sight Foundation and Luxottica Group, these
programs have helped five million people on five continents and
in hundreds of communities across North America. The program's goal
is to help seven million people by 2008.
