Vision Screening
Studio Samuel has partnered with Eyes of Hope®, a VSP Global® charity, to offer vision screening exams for 100 young women in Ethiopia. How it works...
* Our on the ground ophthalmologist will exam 100 women (this is what your fee covers)
* On average, approximately 20% of these women will need glasses
* Prescriptions are written, scanned (pix with phone) and emailed to Eyes of Hope®
* Frames are recycled from stock to meet accurate style and head size, based on written script
* Lenses are provided as part of Eyes of Hope® impact initiatives
* Finished glasses are delivered via Studio Samuel volunteers traveling to Addis Ababa
Another Way to Give...
To donate your used glasses, simply drop them into a padded envelope and mail them to:
