In honor of World Sight Day last month, ITN Business shared a documentary that illuminates our Foundation’s mission in a special called, “Global Action for Eye Health.”

Other featured organizations include Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), ASDA Opticians, The Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO), the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and Revital Vision.

The documentary highlights how solving vision care is fundamental to solving many critical issues such as empowering workforces, bolstering local economies, creating safer roads and communities, supporting students and creating an overall better quality of life for everyone.

Driving Impact Through Our Innovative Approach

The video showcases our Foundation’s innovative approach to empowering adults professionally and through “Eye Rafiki”, “Eye Mitra” and various other regional programs. These programs translate to “Friend of the Eye” in their respective local languages; they train unemployed and underemployed youth to become primary vision care entrepreneurs and support them as they set up their own optical shops – which provides sustainable vision care to their community.

The documentary also dives into our tele-refraction initiative and our successful partnerships with leading organizations across the world like the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO).

Head of Mission at EssilorLuxottica & President of the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Anurag Hans, and Dr. Michael Gichangi, Head of Opthalmic services unit, Ministry of Kenya, share their expert insight on providing life-changing eye care access to underserved people and supporting communities around the world.
