Bausch + Lomb has been a platinum partner of Optometry Giving Sight since 2016. The company has been at the forefront of eye health innovation for nearly two centuries, and today its portfolio includes contact lenses, lens care solutions, pharmaceuticals, intraocular lenses, over-the-counter eye care products and supplements, surgical devices, diagnostics and more.
Its mission is simple: helping people see better to live better. Bausch + Lomb continues to evolve with the changing needs of patients and customers, maintaining a strong commitment to innovation and elevating the standard of care in eye health.
Bausch + Lomb supports Optometry Giving Sight through the Bausch Foundation, the Horizon Rewards Program – which allows patients to donate a portion or all their rebate to Optometry Giving Sight – and the ONE by ONE Recycling program. Earlier this year, Bausch + Lomb expanded the ONE by ONE program to accept certain used eye care and lens care materials, in addition to contact lenses and their packaging.
Participating practices collect a minimum of 10 pounds of accepted waste before shipping to TerraCycle for proper recycling. For every qualifying shipment of 10 pounds or more, a $1 per pound donation is made to Optometry Giving Sight.
Through these programs, Bausch + Lomb has contributed nearly $1.2 million to Optometry Giving Sight, helping to positively impact tens of thousands of people worldwide.
“Everyone deserves the chance to see the world clearly,” said Yang Yang, president, Global Vision Care, Bausch + Lomb. “Partnering with Optometry Giving Sight allows us to help make that possible by improving access to eye care and supporting programs that create lasting change in communities around the globe.”
We thank Bausch + Lomb for their ongoing commitment and partnership and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact together in eliminating preventable blindness.
