Zenni’s Commitment to Vision Care

Donating Sight Worldwide:   We believe everyone deserves access to quality eye care. With a mission to provide essential vision and mental health resources, we are proud to announce that, to date, we have donated an impressive 2,288,679 pairs of glasses to children, families, and communities in need. We work closely with our not-for-profit partners, as well as directly with communities, to create lasting, positive change.  Zenni’s collaborations included de Youngsters Day Out and Chase Stokes with Bring Change to Mind (BC2M).

Community Engagement: Zenni’s mission has always been to make quality eyewear affordable and accessible for everyone.  Vision care is one of those essential services critical for daily life yet frequently forgotten in times of crisis. Through Zenni’s disaster relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton and our Gratitute giveaway, we’ve donated over 682,000 pairs of glasses to individuals in need. Each donation package included three pairs of reading glasses and one pair of stylish sunglasses, thoughtfully prepared based on magnification power and gender preferences.

Supporting Children’s Vision

Through initiatives like vision screenings and partnerships with the Boys & Girls Club, Zenni has helped thousands of children overcome the barriers of poor eyesight. Zenni has designed a Vision of Wellness collection of children’s frames to further inspire children, featuring encouraging quotes like “Reach the Stars” and “Be Your Hero” engraved on the inside of the glasses. These uplifting messages remind kids of their potential, fostering confidence and positivity along with clear vision. By addressing vision challenges early and combining quality eyewear with motivational touches, Zenni is transforming the lives of children and helping them see—and believe in—a brighter future.

A Commitment to Community and Well-Being

As we celebrate this milestone, Zenni remains committed to our mission of providing everyone with accessible eyewear. We are all essential to Zenni’s mission of making clear vision accessible to everyone. Your support and involvement enable us to continue building a legacy of generosity and positive impact. Together, let’s keep making a difference.
