As the new Head of the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Alessandra Senici is helping shape the Foundation’s next chapter, building on its global impact and commitment to expanding access to vision and health care around the world.

In the video, Alessandra shares her belief that good vision can enable people to learn, work, connect with others, and fully participate in their daily lives. While access to vision care remains limited across many communities globally, the opportunity to reach more people through sustainable and scalable solutions continues to grow.

Today, the Foundation is active in more than 140 countries and has contributed to expanding access to vision care for over one billion people. Building on this foundation, we are focusing our global strategy on three core pillars:

1.Deepening Access

We are expanding our network of field clinics and vision centers to expand access to vision care for more people, while working with governments and local partners to strengthen eye health systems. We continue to invest in training local health workers and eye care professionals, and we are developing new models of care, including a hospital in Kigali, Rwanda, which will serve as a Centre of Excellence for specialized eye care, training, and innovation.

2. Accelerating Innovation

Innovation plays a key role in expanding access to vision care. We are strengthening tele-refraction networks and integrating digital technologies across our programs. These approaches help increase reach, improve efficiency, and support the delivery of quality vision care across communities globally.

3. Amplifying Advocacy

Meaningful progress requires collaboration. We are working with governments, NGOs, and global partners to help advance vision care as an important component of public health. We are a technical partner of the World Health Organization’s SPECS 2030 initiative. At the same time, we are strengthening engagement across EssilorLuxottica, creating more opportunities for colleagues and leaders to connect with the common mission to Empower Humans.
