According to the ophthalmologists, they aim to donate at least 10,000 pairs of glasses to the non-profit organization.
RestoringVision provides prescription eyewear to people who do not have accessible eye care in developing countries. To date, the non-profit has partnered with over 1,400 organizations and facilitated proper eyewear for over 7 million people worldwide.

They also know the significant impact a simple pair of eyeglasses can make on a person’s overall quality of life.

To further encourage patients to participate in this fundraiser, Eye Doctors of Washington is offering a special $400 discount from the total price of LASIK.
