AUSTIN, Texas—Online eyewear retailer, EyeBuyDirect.com has partnered with Feed the Children to provide over 10,400 pairs of prescription glasses to children and adults in impoverished communities who might not otherwise have access to necessary corrective eyewear. EyeBuyDirect's donation will be distributed by non-profit organization Feed The Children and administered through eye clinics managed by medical director, Larry Biehler, MD.

Dr. Biehler, who has led over 135 health care teams throughout the U.S and abroad to provide general health services and eye exams to those in need, said, “Glasses can be very expensive, and for people living on meager incomes, they are often forced to make a decision to buy either food or glasses. That's not a decision that anyone should have to make, so we're grateful for EyeBuyDirect's generous donation.”

Roy Hessel, CEO of EyeBuyDirect.com, said, “We believe that everyone should have access to clear vision. We provide affordable frames and prescription lenses to ensure broad consumer access to corrective eyewear. It is our mission to provide help to various communities and populations in need of glasses through Feed the Children and other organizations."
