2014 Highlights
Last year, OneSight hosted 75
projects in 13 countries across six
continents, helping 264,096 people
through the following programs.
CHARITABLE PROGRAMS
OneSight hosted charitable Vision
Clinics in Australia, Brazil, China,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Peru, South Africa, Thailand,
the United States and Vietnam,
providing quality vision care
and eyewear to those in need.
SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVES
OneSight and Luxottica
have partnered to establish
an innovative model to provide
permanent and affordable access
to vision care.
The following initiatives provided
access to vision care for over
one million people in 2014.
The Gambia
In the Gambia, OneSight has created
four permanent Vision Centers,
co-located in regional hospitals, as
well as a central manufacturing
lab in the capital of Banjul.
For perspective, this West African
nation previously
had one optometrist to serve
1.8 million people.
The initiative started by creating
a local marketing campaign
to increase awareness
for the impact vision correction
can have on a person’s life.
As a result, in 2014, the centers
provided care to 17,688
Gambians in Farafenni, Bansang,
Kanifing and Brikama.
As importantly, more than 95%
of the glasses manufactured
for patients in the Gambia
were made in country, by Gambians.
Luxottica employees trained
and empowered the local people
who were responsible
for this incredible success.
By the end of 2015, three more vision
centers will open to complete
the vision care system for
the entire country.
