During this unprecedented year, RestoringVision’s commitment to bring clear vision to the most vulnerable and disenfranchised populations has only grown stronger. In response to COVID-19, the optical nonprofit adapted and enhanced its work to ensure it could continue to give the gift of clear vision to those who need it the most. While the pandemic continues to take a toll on vulnerable populations and poverty rates continue to rise, the demand for RestoringVision’s eyeglasses dramatically increased this year. As a result, the organization expanded its programs in several regions and launched new pilot projects to support refugee and similar displaced populations. This year despite all of the adversities and challenges ushered in by the pandemic, RestoringVision has helped over 1.4M people access the eyeglasses they need to see clearly, stay safe, and remain productive. As the unmet need for reading glasses continues to grow at an even greater rate, RestoringVision has set its sights on growing its capacity to expand its impact in the year ahead. Thanks to its donors’ commitments and extraordinary support, RestoringVision is concluding one of the most unparalleled years in history on a positive note creating steady momentum to serve more people in need in 2021.
