Vision

Ever since Helen Keller inspired us to champion the cause in 1925, we’ve served and advocated for the blind and visually impaired. Nearly a century later, this long-standing mission continues unhindered.

• 252 million people are blind or have moderate to severe distance vision impairment.
• 1.1 billion have near-vision impairment simply because they don’t have a pair of glasses.
• More than 75% of all blindness is avoidable.
• 89% of people with visual impairment live in developing countries.

We have a long history of serving the blind and visually impaired, and remain committed to continuing this mission into our next century of service. Therefore, last year we provided 756 vision screenings in 2 different cities, accounting for over 800 pairs of glasses to those in need.
We are in the process of purchasing a van to provide a Mobile Clinic to meet the clients where they need us. We are in the process of purchasing a “Spot Cam Machine” to be used by school nurses through-out the Ventura School District for student vision screenings.
