Children who see the world as a blur — and don't know a sharper, brighter one exists.
Across India, more than 9 million children struggle to learn and play due to poor vision. Gift of Sight is changing this, one child at a time.
Our Impact
Here's what we've achieved so far.
Children Screened at Schools
Children Tested by Ophthalmologists
Pairs of Glasses Distributed
Schools Visited
How We Work
We partner with local schools and doctors to screen, prescribe, and create lasting eye care programs that continue to serve communities long after our initial visit.
1. Screen
Our volunteers visit schools to conduct initial vision screenings, identifying children who need further evaluation and care.
2. Evaluate
We arrange for ophthalmologists to visit schools and provide professional eye examinations, determining the best treatment plan for each child.
3. Provide
We distribute prescription glasses immediately, provide medicines when needed, and fund surgeries for children who require them.
Data-Driven Impact
We maintain a comprehensive database of schools, age, sex, and geographical location. This data is already becoming useful in identifying trends in incidence of eye diseases in varying regions.
The cost to change a life... is less than your morning latte
