ABOUT US
First Sight Eyeglasses, Inc. is a global eye care nonprofit dedicated to expanding eye care access worldwide through a practical idea: do not let vision correction take weeks or months when it can happen in minutes. We collaborate with NGOs, clinics, schools, Lions and Rotary Clubs, faith-based organizations, hospitals, and community groups to run vision screenings for underserved communities, then provide customized prescription eyeglasses on site and on the spot.
Our portable vision screening system is designed for use in real-world settings. It is simple, affordable, and designed for low-resource environments. Where eye care professionals are available, First Sight supports their work. Where they are not, trained non-medical personnel can operate the system safely through structured training modules.
