Restore Sight, Change Lives
How Stanton Optical and CharityVision are Making a Difference
For 1 in 8 people worldwide, clear vision is out of reach. Stanton Optical, in partnership with CharityVision, is on a mission to change that. Together, we’re restoring sight and creating opportunities for those in need.
For over five years, Stanton Optical has been CharityVision’s most consistent donor, supporting their mission to “Restore Lives Through Sight.” Through this partnership, our stores send donated eyeglass frames directly to CharityVision’s distribution center in Utah. Volunteers carefully sort the frames, preparing them for their next chapter in schools, homeless shelters, and underserved communities around the world.
Our efforts led to a milestone in 2023, when Stanton Optical donated over 100,000 frames, changing the lives of children and adults globally. This achievement is a testament to the power of giving.
Why Your Frames Matter
Donating your old glasses can transform someone's life.
Education: A child can finally see the blackboard and reach their potential.
Employment: Clear vision opens doors to stable work and financial security.
Confidence: Restored sight fosters self-esteem and independence.
Health: Vision correction prevents issues like headaches and eye strain.
The Journey of Your Glasses
When you donate, your frames travel to CharityVision’s center, where volunteers sort and prepare them for recipients worldwide. Many go to schools or shelters, delivering the gift of sight and a brighter future.
A Legacy of Vision
CharityVision’s story began in 1963 with Dr. Bill Jackson and his wife Audrey’s decision to serve in war-torn Algeria. Over the decades, their work evolved into a global mission led by their son, Doug Jackson, refocusing on eye care. To date, CharityVision has provided over 1.5 million eye surgeries.
