Our Impact

We Are in the Business of Impacting Lives

At National Vision, we believe everyone deserves to see their best to live their best - regardless of their budget or access to eye care and eyewear. Our stated mission is to provide affordable, accessible eye care and eyewear to people who need it, but that mission extends far beyond our business model.

We are currently experiencing a global vision crisis – there are more than 2.2 billion people around the world with a vision impairment or blindness. For many, a simple pair of glasses or contact lenses can make a dramatic difference, allowing them to see leaves on a tree, read a book clearly or even see a smile on a child’s face.  And we believe at National Vision, that we are uniquely qualified to help.

For years, we have been working with partners across the optical industry to make a difference in the lives of people both domestically and around the world. We have seen firsthand the true, life-changing event that a pair of glasses or contact lenses can have on a person’s life – moments that truly matter.

We are pleased to share our first-ever Philanthropic Impact Report, which details our philanthropic impact through the end of 2019.
