VisionSpring is a New York–based nonprofit organization that operates as a social enterprise to expand access to eyeglasses in emerging and frontier markets. It seeks to improve earning, learning, safety, and well-being for people living on less than $4 a day by providing eyeglasses and related services. The organization delivers optical products and services, builds markets for eyeglasses, and mobilizes collective action to influence broader systemic change in vision care access. Its target population includes individuals with limited vision care access, including garment workers and other communities in developing regions. Recent partnerships with brands and manufacturers—such as collaborations in Bangladesh and among VF Corporation, Deckers Brands, Primark, and Warby Parker—signal an expansion of eyeglasses provision through supply chains. VisionSpring aims to have everyone who needs eyeglasses receive them by 2050 and is based in New York with a mid-sized workforce.
