Optical Express and Glasgow the Caring City working together to SEE a better future

Optical Express and Glasgow the Caring City join forces to restore the vision of thousands of people across the globe. Through this partnership Optical Express donates used glasses and Glasgow the Caring City provides the expertise to train personnel and distribute glasses in developing countries.

By donating the spectacles of laser vision correction patients as well as customers who have upgraded their old spectacles, Optical Express is helping to enrich lives throughout the world with sustainable, long-term benefits. While Glasgow the Caring City provides local resident eye doctors with training, support and equipment, including the frames and lenses donated by Optical Express. When the volunteers leave and move onto their next project, the local eye doctors are equipped to continue helping people with visual problems.
