As His Holiness the Dalai Lama celebrated his 90th birthday, we reflect on a profound moment in VisionSpring's journey. In 2023, our team received his blessings and provided eye care to 850 students and monks in Dharamshala. #Eye #Health #SocialEntrepreneurship

These stunning Mughal-era glasses show that eyewear has always been more than vision, they're about identity and expression. At VisionSpring, we honor this with #DignityOfChoice: diverse, stylish options so everyone can choose how they show up in the world.

Most commercial drivers in India have never had their vision tested. In our latest study, 67.9% of drivers reported they had never had their eyes tested. Nearly 1 in 5 of the 10k drivers we screened needed eyeglasses. Read the study: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Nguyen Thi Trang, a garment worker and mother of 3, struggled with daily tasks — at work & home — due to vision loss. A pair of reading glasses changed everything. Thank you @WHO for sharing her story & to our partners for making it possible. 🔗 who.int/news-room/feature-st…

Eyeglasses unlock livelihoods, learning & safety—but are often left out of global development agendas. That’s why the Eyeglass Initiatives platform shines a light on scalable, local solutions that deliver clear vision where it matters most. Check it out: eyeglassinitiatives.org/

Did you know that dopamine plays a critical role in children's eye development? According to a recent article by @NatGeo, exposure to sunlight actually triggers the release of retinal dopamine, which regulates eye growth and ensures retinas maintain their shape. #Eye #Health

Did you know that non-profits that work closely with governments rarely receive state funds? Governments are critical in enabling impact at scale, but only cover a fraction of the costs taken on by non-profits. Read more in @SpringImpact's latest report: ow.ly/z0Yr50UJ8cV

Pictures speak louder than words, and sometimes, photography is the best way to share the transformative impact that a simple pair of eyeglasses can have. Take a look back at some of the best customer snapshots we captured last year. Clear vision = smiling faces!
