VSP Vision Eyes of Hope Celebrates World Sight Day and Elevates Importance of Eye Health on SHERRI
 

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. – In recognition of World Sight Day, VSP Vision™ Eyes of Hope^® partnered with SHERRI on a segment to help raise awareness about the power of eye care to help people live healthier, happier lives. 

Today, 1.1 billion people around the world are vision impaired simply because they lack access to proper eyecare. VSP Eyes of Hope is addressing barriers of income, distance and disaster to increase equitable access to vision care in places where it’s needed most.

“At VSP Vision, we believe that everyone deserves to see their world clearly, to protect their long-term health, and to experience all that is possible,” said VSP Vision Chief Communications Officer Pat McNeil. “On World Sight Day, we’re proud to collaborate with SHERRI to help elevate the conversation around the importance of eye health, as well as our commitment to increase equitable access to high-quality, affordable eye care and eyewear for all.”

In addition, VSP Eyes of Hope is committing free vision care valued at $50,000 to Move-In Day Mafia, a charity dedicated to helping underserved and foster care freshman at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with their transition to college, during the segment. VSP Vision also provided SHERRI’S studio audience members with $100 toward eyewear from Eyeconic.com.

For more than 25 years, VSP Eyes of Hope has partnered with charitable organizations and local doctors to deliver no-cost eye exams and prescription glasses to more than 3.8 million people in need. To learn more about VSP Eyes of Hope, visit vspvision.com/eyes-of-hope.
