The Salvation Army and OneSight team up to fund eye tests and prescription glasses for Salvation Army clients around New Zealand. 

​

Clinics were held in New Lynn, Tauranga, Whakatane, Rotorua, Manukau, Christchurch, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington, for people who otherwise would be unable to afford an eye test – many of whom have experienced headaches and other side effects from poor vision for many years.

​

Ready to wear glasses are manufactured and issued at the clinics, while more complex prescriptions are manufactured in the lab and distributed subsequently.

​

The gift of improved vision provides real benefits - unlocking potential, opening doors to employment, learning, social connections, and an improved quality of life. For many people attending the clinics, these vision screening assessments are a first in their lifetime.

​

OneSight is global non-profit organisation committed to closing the vision care gap for the 1 billion people in the world who lack access to good eye-care.
