Essilor Vision Foundation

People who need vision care but can’t access or afford it can now get free eye exams and glasses thanks to a partnership between Changing Life through Lenses® and Total Vision™.

Total Vision’s charitable initiatives began with their Neighbors Helping Neighbors program to provide free vision care to people in need. The Changing Life Through Lenses platform builds on that effort by removing the cost of the lenses and frames so doctors can serve more people in their communities. By working together through this new partnership, Total Vision practices can make a greater impact on people in need of critical vision care.

The company is donating $50,000 to the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation to support the launch of the program and to help kick-start philanthropic activity in all 49 of Total Vision’s California locations.

The team at McPherson Eye Care knows what a difference charitable giving can make in their community and their business!

Their efforts are certainly paying off not just in their practice, but for those who need critical vision care. The practice has raised over $2000 since starting the program last fall. Thanks to their efforts, 107 kids have received a new pair of glasses who would have otherwise gone without.

Marlene Vickrey, Manager at McPherson says "I think the biggest thing for us is family involvement. At McPherson, we're dedicated to involving vision for the whole family. [Participating in See Kids Soar] helps our families know they're getting good care and also that we care! We want to see all kids soar; for all kids to do well, and if we can provide good vision for that, it means a lot."

The practice is looking forward to enrolling in Changing Life Through Lenses to help patients directly in their community!
