Essilor Vision Foundation is a public charity dedicated to empowering children by providing them with the ability to see clearly, thus enabling them to reach their full potential. The organization addresses the critical issue of vision problems among children, with 1 in 4 affected by issues that hinder their learning. This proportion increases significantly among lower-income children.
Good vision is fundamental for a child's learning, confidence, social interactions, and participation in various activities such as sports or art. The foundation focuses on improving children's lives by improving their sight, primarily by providing exams and glasses to schools through mobile vision clinics, organizing community initiatives, and supporting local service organizations.
Essilor Vision Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public, non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas. The foundation's mission is to eliminate poor vision and its lifelong consequences, especially for children. By developing programs that overcome the barriers to vision care, the foundation aims to ensure that fewer children slip through the cracks.
For eye care professionals, Essilor Vision Foundation offers tools and resources through evfusa.org, empowering them to serve their communities effectively.
