WHY WE EXIST
Vision care is often overlooked, particularly in underserved communities. Our Mobile Eye Health Unit improves vision care accessibility by overcoming common barriers such as trust, transportation, and geography. Our vision is to bridge the gap in eye health awareness and create connection to vision care for individuals in need.

WHAT WE OFFER
Our Mobile Eye Health Unit travels to partner events and communities to provide vision care and eye health awareness. We offer education sessions and materials on topics of eye health, which can be accessed on our website and social media channels.

HOW WE DELIVER
We meet people where they are and safely connect them to vision care. Our Mobile Eye Health Unit is staffed by volunteer optometrists and technicians who perform vision screenings and eye examinations. We travel to specific locations based on partners in the community and where our programs will best serve those in need.
“Sight impacts everything, every day, everywhere.”
