FOCUS ON VISION

Focus on Vision is a foundation that aims to bring the joy of proper eyesight to the world. More than a billion people have poor vision that can simply be solved by wearing eyeglasses...

Since 2018 we concentrate on Low Vision patients: children and adults with extreme refractive errors.
