Eyeglasses Retailer America's Best Supports Restoring Vision Through Belize Donation

America's Best contributes to efforts to improve vision across the world through the charity Restoring Vision.

2013-01-30

NORCROSS, GA, January 30, 2013 (Press-News.org) America's Best is proud to support Restoring Vision, a relief effort aimed at providing eyewear to regions where they are desperately needed. In conjunction with the New England College of Optometry, Restoring Vision supplies eyeglasses, usually readers and sunglasses to regions that need them.

Most recently, Restoring Vision supplied more than 500 pairs of glasses to people in Belize. Restoring Vision works with eyeglass frames suppliers like America's Best to provide materials that philanthropic and medical mission trips might not otherwise have access to.

In tropical climates like Belize, one of the most important supplies the mission groups can provide are sunglasses. With UV protection, sunglasses help prevent eye damage, including cataracts, caused by the sun's harmful rays. Reading glasses are also popular because they can allow older people to get the mild correction they need or can be used in place of prescription glasses if an optometrist is not available, as is the case in some remote areas.

Restoring Vision, working with over 300 different mission groups, has helped to supply over 1.4 million eyeglasses to those needing vision aide in over 75 countries globally. America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses is proud to be a partner and supplies readers and sunglasses to mission groups through Restoring Vision.

Dr. Grace Kim, Chairperson for Clinical Advisory Panel for America's Best, said the company is proud to be part of the mission organization. "We are very committed to helping people see better. That means all people, not just the ones who walk through our doors to see one of our doctors."
