Our Vision
Our mission is focused:  to improve the vision of poor children and adults by

  • purchasing new eyeglasses in the United States, and
  • recycling donated glasses for distribution in developing nations worldwide.

    New Eyes for the Needy

    Since our founding in 1932, New Eyes has improved the eyesight of more than 7,000,000 people in the U.S. and around the world.

    For about $60, New Eyes for the Needy can improve a person's life. Each new pair of glasses purchased by New Eyes helps an American child succeed in school, an adult secure a job, or a senior citizen read medicine labels. Our recycled glasses bring clearer vision to scores of people living in poverty overseas.

    New Eyes is strengthened by our partnerships with thousands of social service agencies, optical dispensers, and vision missions.





    Did You Know?

    Last year New Eyes provided eyeglasses to 5,945 needy residents of the U.S. and 281,260 people in developing nations.

    Our goal is to help more Americans each year.

    The loyal support of people across the United States makes this possible through:


  • Cash contributions


  • Donations of used eyeglasses, hearing aids, jewelry and giftware


  • Dedicated volunteerism
