The solution to ending preventable blindness and vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive error is more than eye exams and glasses—it’s the establishment of infrastructure and education in underserved communities to enable ongoing eye care for the years to come.

One of the many impactful projects Optometry Giving Sight helped fund is the One School at a Time project to benefit school children from disadvantaged families in District eThekwini of the KZN province in South Africa.

The project aims to reach 25 schools within a year and provide eye screening and examination services to 20,000 children.

In addition, the project will educate teachers in each school on primary eye health, and train vision screeners and optometrists in primary eye health and vision screening for the pediatric population.

One School at a Time is implemented by our project partner Berkeley Cure.
