Clear vision changes how people experience the world.
We help ensure homelessness is never a barrier to seeing clearly and living well.
Helping people affected by homelessness see clearly again — through direct eye care, partnerships, and championing change across sectors.
Where can I get free eye care?
Get involved
There are many ways you can help make eye care accessible to people experiencing homelessness. Whether you give your time, raise funds, or make a donation, your support helps people see clearly and live with dignity.
Donate
Support life-changing eye care.
Your donation helps provide sight tests, glasses, and ongoing care for people who would otherwise go without. Every contribution makes a practical difference.
Volunteer with us
Give your time. Change someone’s day.
From supporting clinics to helping behind the scenes, volunteers are essential to what we do. Share your skills and be part of a team making eye care accessible to all.
Fundraising
Turn your energy into impact.
Take on a challenge, host an event, or create your own fundraiser. However you raise money, you’ll be helping bring clear vision within reach for more people.
Patient stories
Every person we support has their own journey — and their own experience of how better vision can change daily life.
These stories share the real impact of accessible eye care, told in the words of the people we’ve worked with.
