Giving the Gift of Sight to Hundreds around the WorldFor each pair of eyeglasses purchased by patients during the months of May and June 2016, Linden Optometry, P.C. in Pasadena will make a donation to provide eye exams and eyeglasses to children in underserved communities around the world.
With each pair of eyeglasses purchased by patients in May and June 2016, Linden Optometry will make a donation to their partner charity, Optometry Giving Sight, to support an international fundraising program called I Care & Share. "The injustice of being unable to see clearly in our world today, simply due to lack of an eye exam and glasses, is completely unacceptable," According to Clive Miller, CEO of Optometry Giving Sight, there are over 600 million people around the world who are blind or vision impaired simply because they don't have access to an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Mr. Miller said, "Through the generous support of optometrists like Linden Optometry P.C. who donate to programs like I Care & Share, we are able to transform lives in many developing communities. Optometry Giving Sight is currently funding programs that focus on the delivery of vision care, training of local eye care professionals and the development of infrastructure such as vision centres to deliver sustainable, affordable eye care services. Funds are currently directed to communities in Sri Lanka, South and East Africa, Latin America, South East Asia and Indigenous Australia." Dr. Alan Limfat O.D., CEO of Linden Optometry P.C., commented: "We are proud of our contribution towards the elimination of global blindness. In the U.S., we often take access to quality eye care for granted, but is just not the case in many other places. Our goal is to provide improved vision to hundreds of children throughout the world this year." Media Contact Linden Optometry a Prof. Corp., Alan Limfat, O.D. 477 E.
