GoodVision USA

According to a recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO), around 950 million people need glasses but cannot afford them or don’t have access to ophthalmic care. Children cannot learn, adults cannot work and care for their families. We want to change that.

GoodVision USA was founded in 2019 as an affiliate to GoodVision International, based in Germany. GoodVision International is a growing organization currently providing eye care health services and jobs in ten project countries.

GoodVision USA was established to bring vision care and affordable glasses to people in the West African nation of Liberia. Based on 2020 data, approximately 90% of Liberian citizens live in poverty, compared with 11.8% in the USA. Liberia’s population of approximately 5 million is serviced by fewer than 60 eye care professionals — or just one for every 80,000 people. Access to vision care is nearly nonexistent in Liberia’s rural regions. Without adequate eye care, individuals face barriers to success in school and the workplace.
