Optometry Giving Sight is an international charity which helps to give sight to those who are blind or vision impaired simply because they do not have access to an eye exam and glasses. We have a donation box in our office for our patients convenience. This is the same charity that our office supports during World Sight Day. This is a day in which we donate all exam fees to Optometry Giving Sight.
