The freedom of sight
TOMS Eyewear purchases help restore more than vision. It allows individuals
to regain independence, return to work and reimagine the future.
How Sight Giving Works
-
STEP 1:
Make a match
When a customer buys a pair of TOMS Eyewear, we provide Giving Partners with funding to restore sight to one individual.
-
STEP 2:
Diagnose the person
Individuals are evaluated through a comprehensive eye examination at local clinics and hospitals through outreach programs.
-
STEP 3:
Treat the issue
An eye care professional provides proper treatment based on evaluation.
-
STEP 4:
Pair up for good
We support organizations pursuing a self-sustaining business model. We collect feedback and continue to improve our support.
