Optometry Giving Sight
More than a billion people around the world don’t have access to the eye care or eyewear they need, often simply because there aren’t enough trained eye care personnel. To help fund sustainable solutions, VSP partnered with other industry leaders on the World Sight Day Challenge Coalition to benefit Optometry Giving Sight.

Tyreke Evans: Chester Community Outreach
In 2012, VSP adopted Tyreke's home town of Chester, PA, to provide eye care for residents, connect with local students, and emphasize the importance of good vision. This initiative also provides opportunities for students to learn more about optometry by shadowing VSP doctors, and we’re sponsoring a student to attend a special program at The Ohio State University College of Optometry.

Partnering with NBA player DeMarcus Cousins, VSP provided access to free eye care and eyewear for 290 kids in need at Cousins’ third annual Elite Skills Basketball Camps in Sacramento, CA, and Cousins’ home town, Mobile, AL, in 2015. We were there to provide disaster relief following Hurricane Katrina and, close to the tenth anniversary of the storm’s landfall, we’ll continue to explore how to close the gap in access to eye care.
