Latest News - Clinic with OneSight
1 August 2018
We are pleased to announce that the Patterson Foundation has teamed with One Sight to provide an eye clinic that will provide eye exams and glasses to one thousand individuals August 27-31. We are extremely grateful to Salt River Pima Reservation for helping us by providing a location to hold the clinic. Monday through Thursday One Sight will be completing free eye exams for 250 students a day. They will make glasses for the students who need them on site at the clinic. Friday, they will see 50 individuals from Salt River who are elderly or handicapped.
OneSight is an independent nonprofit providing access to quality vision care and glasses in under-served communities worldwide. OneSight is committed to eradicating the global vision care crisis that affects more than 1.1 billion people, many of whom could have their vision restored with an eye exam and a pair of glasses.
Since 1988, OneSight has partnered with local health organizations, governments, school districts, industry leaders, doctors and volunteers to help more than 9 million people in 41 countries.This specialized expertise has allowed OneSight to create sustainable and charitable access to quality vision care and eyewear to build solutions to help the world see.
We would like to thank the following companies for their financial support of the clinic.
