Vision Aid Overseas 1.08.05
Vision Aid Overseas is a charity dedicated to helping needy people in the developing world whose lives are blighted by “refractive error”. This is a condition of the eye in which light is not brought to a correct focus resulting in blurred vision. It is extremely common and when serious can be a cause of blindness and even mild refractive error can make life difficult. The quickest and cheapest way of dealing with the condition is by the use of spectacles but poverty places spectacles completely beyond the reach of all but a privileged few in the developing world. In fact, it is estimated that there are 200 million people in the world who only need a pair of spectacles to live an ordinary life and Vision Aid Overseas is committed to helping them.
Drop in your unwanted frames to Smith & Walker and we will send them to Vision aid Overseas. Remember, the more frames we receive the more people Vision Aid Overseas can help. Many Thanks.
