Twelve SUNY Optometry students and two doctors visited the indigenous nations of Oaxaca, Mexico for a week-long optical mission on July 31, 2015. Their goal was to provide free eye care to the people of the villages, but most of all to spread the love of God. They served 540 patients, but many more experienced God's love and heard His word for the first time.
Thank you to our optical partners and their patients for helping to provide Wear & Share® eye care and eyewear for this successful mission!
I woke up my wife, Amy, from a very deep sleep on a Sunday morning September 28th, 2008.
“I have an idea to start an eyewear company that honors God.”
Amy rolled over and said, “You’re crazy, go back to bed.”
I convinced her that I wasn’t that crazy and she warmed up to the idea that day. As it turned out, Vision Expo West was happening that same week. “If we are thinking of starting an eyewear company,” she said, “we need to go to Vision Expo.”
