Vision Aid Overseas

Mrs Lawrence has been work­ing with Vision Aid Over­seas since 2001.

Poverty and the lack of skilled opti­cians affect mil­lions of peo­ple who do not have the spec­ta­cles they des­per­ately need. For those in the devel­op­ing world with poor vision, edu­ca­tion and employ­ment are out of reach. Many find daily liv­ing dif­fi­cult and dangerous.
With the cor­rect spec­ta­cles, peo­ple can learn, work and achieve a qual­ity of life oth­er­wise com­pletely unob­tain­able. Hence the need for VAO.

If you have old glasses that you no longer need, please donate them at the practice.
