History of Support
Since 2002 the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation and EssilorLuxottica are the official global supplier of ophthalmic lenses to the Special Olympics Lions Clubs International Foundation Opening Eyes program.
The OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation has been instrumental in making high-quality vision care accessible to all, regardless of their location or socio-economic status. By focusing on the unique needs of Special Olympics athletes, this partnership has fostered an environment where every individual has the opportunity to achieve their best.
