TOMS Eyewear Has Started Giving

We are excited to announce that thanks to the incredible response people have had to TOMS Eyewear, we are now helping give sight to those in need!

One thing we've learned on this journey is that sustainable, responsible giving in eye care takes time and planning. Our partner, Seva Foundation, and the community-based eye care programs they support, must do community education, plan screenings and eye camps in rural areas, and thoughtfully integrate TOMS giving into the great eye care work they are doing. So as we see the purchases from our amazing customers begin to add up, we're working with Seva to make sure every One for One is carefully planned and executed over time.

Now, the incredible men and women serving their communities with eye care services — often in very rural areas — are beginning to report back about those additional people they're able to help because of TOMS Eyewear customers.

We are so grateful for your support and are honored to share the stories of some of the people whose sight has been saved and restored through TOMS Eyewear purchases.
