How do we measure our impact?
We are bringing sight to millions of Canadians with uncorrected poor vision
The Essilor Vision Foundation Canada was inaugurated in 2015 to be the charitable arm of Essilor Canada.
Our work across Canada is represented by Essilor employees and partners from within and outside of the optical industry. We believe in Improving Lives by Improving Sight, a mission that drives all of our activities. That’s why we work to raise awareness on the global health issue poor vision represents, create access to healthy vision for underserved communities worldwide, and work with passionate partners to break down barriers and open up access to good vision.
Did you know that myopia, better known as nearsightedness, is one of the most prevalent vision issues, especially in children? Watch to see how spotting the symptoms of myopia and being more proactive can help put life back into focus.
Watch videoThe Eyes to As program was developed in 2019 to break through access barriers and bring a complete cycle of vision care to nearly 10,000 school children in Ottawa’s largest public board.
We have partnered with the BC Doctors of Optometry on an ambitious program to gretly increase the rate of eye examinations to children in British Columbia.
Our work with the Opening Eyes program offers individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities improve their quality of life through better vision.
