Join a powerful, unprecedented alliance for better eye health for all.
Join IAPBAt Vision Friend Sakib Gore (VFSG), we believe that access to eyewear is not a privilege, it is a fundamental right. A pair of spectacles should never stand between a child and their bright future, an adult and their ability to earn, or an elder and their independence. Yet, for billions worldwide, the high cost of eyewear remains a barrier to clear vision, impacting education, livelihoods, and quality of life. For over 33 years, we have worked towards providing free eye care, free cataract surgeries, and free spectacles through our self-funded initiatives, reaching 1,217 villages and impacting over 2.6 million individual lives. In 2024, we launched the VCU (We See You) Series, designed to empower NGOs, humanitarian organizations, social entrepreneurs, and healthcare providers to overcome the biggest barrier of expensive spectacles. By offering certified high-quality, environmentally sustainable, and customizable eyewear solutions at the most affordable prices, we ensure that cost is never an obstacle to clear vision.
The VCU Series offers tailored eyewear solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of vision care programs worldwide. From ultra-affordable, certified high-quality glasses starting at just $0.38 for large-scale NGO distributions, to vibrant and durable spectacles for school vision programs, to specialized eyewear enhancing productivity for transport workers and factory laborers, our solutions are built for real-world impact. We also provide emergency humanitarian relief eyewear packages, designer spectacles for women, and sustainable eyewear options, including recyclable TR90 frames and biodegradable bio-acetate eyewear, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For hospitals and organizations seeking premium yet cost-effective frames, we offer handmade bio- acetate and premium TR90 frames, ensuring sustainable sourcing while providing access to more than 300 unique and colorful models for their vision care programs and retail stores.
Every purchase from the VCU Series creates twice the impact. First, organizations can maximize their reach, as they receive more spectacles for the same funds, allowing them to serve more people in need. Second, the profits from VCU Series sales directly sustain Vision Friend Sakib Gore’s free eye camps and outreach programs, ensuring that our mission remains self-sufficient for the future. By choosing VCU Series, partners are not only getting cost-effective, high-quality eyewear, but they are also contributing to a New Gen sustainable model that continues to provide free vision care to underserved communities.
With Specs 2030 aiming to increase effective coverage of refractive error by 40% by 2030, the VCU Series provides a practical and scalable solution that can be seamlessly integrated into national and international vision programs. At 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE Nepal, we will be showcasing our full range of affordable, Certified high-quality, and sustainable eyewear solutions, helping partners maximize impact while ensuring that clear vision is accessible to all.
