TOMS new VISION

TOMS is no longer a shoe company, but a One for One company. They started out with providing shoes for the shoeless and now they are improving people's vision. Not only are shoes necessary, but sight is a fundamental need. The loss of sight has a dramatic impact on a person's life.

The TOMS team took a trip to Nepal and discovered their new VISION. There are a hundred and sixty five million people that have vision impairment and 1% of the population is blind in Nepal, Cambodia. These vision impairments are 100% preventable and treatable if action in taken.

Here is why sight in the new One for One movement:
This is a solvable crisis
Help break the poverty trap
sight means education and opportunity
Equal rights for women
Immediate impact
We can create a better tomorrow

With TOMS new One for One eye wear they are providing more than just glasses. With partnership through expert eye care organization in Nepal, Cambodia and Tibet services will be provided in three ways
prescription glasses
sight-saving surgery
medical treatment

WITH A SIMPLE PAIR OF EYE GLASSES THE WORLD COMES INTO FOCUS
