Giving Sight

What We Give

TOMS Eyewear purchases provide a person in need with a full eye exam by trained medical professionals. Each patient then receives the treatment he or she needs. TOMS supports treatments for three of the most common vision issues:

  • Prescription Glasses

  • Sight-Saving Surgery

  • Medical Treatment

  • Prescription Glasses

    Eye care professionals determine the corrective lenses a person needs and provide the right pair of eyeglasses. The patient is able to choose their own new frames, and a technician grinds the lenses to fit the patient's exact prescription.

    • NEARSIGHTEDNESS
    • Trouble seeing objects that are far away.
    • FARSIGHTEDNESS
    • Trouble seeing objects that are close up.
    • ASTIGMATISM
    • An abnormal curve of the cornea, causing vision to be out of focus.

  • SIGHT-SAVING SUGERY

    Surgeons perform an eye operation and give follow-up care and education.

    • CATARACT:
    • Clouding of the lens of the eye, which can cause blurry vision and blindness. Cataract surgery represents the majority of TOMS-supported eye surgeries, and can be performed in as few as 15 minutes.
    • TRACHOMA:
    • An infectious disease that can cause chronic inflammation and scarring on the inside of the eyelid, which can lead to corneal scarring and blindness.

  • MEDICAL TREATMENT

    Eye care professionals administer prescription medications, remove foreign objects from the eye if necessary, and provide follow-up care and education.

    • INFLAMMATION AND INFECTION
    • Common causes include conjunctivitis and iritis, which can cause blurred vision, eye pain and can lead to blindness if left untreated.
    • EYE TRAUMA
    • Scratches or cuts to the eye that can lead to infection, loss of vision or loss of the eye.
    • CORNEAL ULCERATIONS
    • Bacteria or fungus that causes damage to the cornea. This can cause painful inflammation and loss of vision.
