The clinic addressed the needs of about 500 people from Sandrift, Phoenix, Joe Slovo, Gugulethu and Delft, to name a few.
These communities were identified as lacking access to eye exams and glasses, which has a huge impact on residents.
Leveraging the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation’s model and manufacturing capabilities, participants received quality prescribed eyewear on site.
