Get Involved
Help a child see the world.
Every role matters, from sponsoring a pair of glasses to reviewing prescriptions from your own office.
Give
Give the gift of clear vision
Your gift funds brand-new prescription glasses, made for a child's eyes, face and favorite color, and delivered through our local partners.
You'll receive updates as glasses are made and delivered, with photos of children receiving them. See the World is a project of Lumoon Vision, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and support the See the World charitable program.

Optometrists: review prescriptions from anywhere
Our volunteer optometrists review children's screening data online and write prescriptions, on their own schedule, from wherever they are. Some also travel to train Vision Station staff.
We also welcome technologists, designers and other professionals to help build the next generation of our tools. Volunteers and Lumoon jointly own the work they create together.

Bring a Vision Station to your community
Are you a school, clinic, mission, NGO or social business working with children who have no access to eye care? Partner with us to open a Vision Station, and in time run it locally as a licensed Lumoon project.

How is my donation used?
Most of your donation pays to make and ship custom glasses for children. A small portion covers administrative costs that keep the program running.
How long until a child receives their glasses?
Glasses are ordered in batches so they can be made and shipped efficiently. They ship directly from our lab to our local partner, who fits and delivers them to each child.
How are children chosen?
Our local partners screen children at each Vision Station. Volunteer optometrists review the results and write a prescription for every child who needs glasses.
What about children who need more than glasses?
Our screening helps flag children who may have conditions glasses can't fix. Our optometrists review those cases, and whenever possible we refer children to eye-disease and surgery specialists for follow-up care.
What if glasses can't be delivered?
We work in challenging environments, and on rare occasions we can't locate a child after their glasses are made. If that happens, we'll let you know and apply your gift to another child in need.
Do you compete with local optometrists?
No. We work only where vision care doesn't exist or can't be reached, to expand access, not replace local services.
