Vision is the future

Good vision is a key prerequisite for children to make full use of their opportunities.

 

ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN IN GERMANY HAVE A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT

If it remains undiscovered, this can have a significant impact on a child’s development, ability to concentrate, and self-confidence. That is why we are committed to providing free eye tests in social institutions such as SOS Children's Villages, Die Arche or Haus Lebenshilfe. Where necessary, the children, adolescents and adults are given a free pair of corrective spectacles. In addition, we raise awareness for the importance of regular eye tests.

Our mission: Vision is the future.

Little winners
