About Us
EyeCare4Kids’™ mission is to help millions of kids and adults see better. We know the amazing impact that pair of glasses or contacts can have on a person who cannot see properly. The difference is remarkable and the outcomes always predictably grand!
Affordable Glasses
EyeCare4Kids™ is dedicated to providing free glasses to those in need. Our goal is to provide eyeglasses to those in need so they can become successful members of society.
Better vision
Study after study has shown the correlation between correct vision and being a productive person in life. Our goal is to provide as many glasses as possible to the world’s needy, so they can become productive, valuable members of society.
Contact lenses
Sometimes contacts meets the needs of a person better than eyeglasses. When this is the case, we may be able to provide them for a child or adult.
Joseph Carbone and a new recipient of her own glasses in Africa.
Joseph Carbone is a board certified optician with over 45 years of experience. In 2000 he came to the conclusion that the production of glasses was just too exclusive and expensive for low-income families.
In 2001 he began the charity, EyeCare4Kids™ (see www.EyeCare4Kids.org) to help any needy child get an exam and pair of needed glasses for free. He began with one brick and mortar clinic which has grown to nine. The sole purpose of these clinics was to help children in need of professional eye exams and glasses to be able to obtain them at no cost or low cost. After 20 years, his mission has helped nearly 400,000 children see better and flourish in a most important environment – school
But Joseph could see so much need still untouched in the world. To this end he created an innovative virtual clinic called Sight the World™ that could be accessed by all in need via telemedicine and technology. Through this new portal, the charity would have the ability to start touching and helping hundreds of thousands and eventually millions of needy children and adults who cannot see properly because they have not had access to exams and eyeglasses throughout the world.
“We are changing lives. Sure, it’s a pair of eyeglasses, but it’s reading. It’s education. It’s a child’s future.”
