ZEISS Vision Care Canada charitable contribution to Optometry Giving Sight
Improve access to eye care services and solutions for those in need
Toronto, Canada | 8 April 2021 | ZEISS Vision Care
ZEISS Vision Care Canada, in collaboration with WestGroupe – the renowned eyewear manufacturer based in the United States and Canada – has pledged a donation of more than $110,000 to Optometry Giving Sight. Since 2016, both partners donated a portion of sales of each ValuePak eyewear frame and lens package to the global fundraising initiative. Founded in 2003, Optometry Giving Sight aims to prevent blindness and visual impairment caused by uncorrected vision loss and address the debilitating visual impairment problem. Globally, the organization funds various programs that provide much-needed vision care, train local eye care professionals and build sustainable infrastructure in developing countries.

Through joint support, ZEISS has helped fund critical local developments in countries such as an optometry school in Vietnam and the equipment for an optometry program in Malawi. Both countries will benefit from their newly trained optometrists by providing comprehensive eye exams where there was limited or no eye care.
