ESSILOR VISION FOUNDATION IN ASEAN
In 2014, Essilor Vision Foundation ASEAN (EVF ASEAN) was launched in Singapore by the Essilor Group with the objective of unifying its philanthropic activities in South East Asia. The Essilor Vision Foundation network currently has an active presence covering 7 regions – including EVF ASEAN and Essilor Vision Foundation USA 501(C)3 – and aims to provide vision care services to those underserved communities who need it.
Essilor Vision Foundation continuously seeks to collaborate with other like-minded organisations in the deployment of various range of charitable initiatives including vision screenings, donation of eyeglasses, as well as educational campaigns on the importance of good vision and regular eye tests.
IMPACT OF UNCORRECTED POOR VISION
Uncorrected poor vision is the world’s most common disability. 1 in 3 people can’t see the world clearly with 90% living in developing countries, yet its impact on society is largely unrecognised. Seeing well improves everything – from being able to read and do well in school, to increasing employability and improving personal well-being. According to the World Health Organisation, 80% of visual impairment can be prevented or cured.
