EyeMed Official Sponsor of OneSight Vision Van
The OneSight Vision Vans travel the country delivering free eye exams and eyewear to children in need. Over the past 14 years, the OneSight Vision Vans have helped more than 225,000 people during scheduled, annual Clinics and through emergency responses to disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. SeeMore is expected to help at least 6,000 children during 40 stops this year.
EyeMed’s sponsorship builds on years of support for OneSight (formerly Give the Gift of Sight). EyeMed employees have recycled nearly one million pairs of used eyeglasses for dispense during Global Clinics.
“Participating in OneSight has always been an important part of EyeMed’s culture,” said Liz DiGiandomenico, General Manager and President. “Sponsoring the Vision Van, which travels to areas where our clients, members and providers live and work, allows us to be the link between our constituents and this wonderful program.”
OneSight aligns with EyeMed’s vision to improve quality of life through better vision care. For more than 20 years, OneSight volunteers have provided free vision care and eyewear to nearly seven million people around the world and here at home. In addition, OneSight has donated millions to support vision-related research and education.
EyeMed invites providers, clients, members and brokers to join in its efforts to support this worthwhile cause. For more information about OneSight, including volunteer and donation details, visit www.onesight.org.
