NEW YORK - February 8, 2018 - (Newswire.com)
General Vision Services (GVS) recently exceeded our goal of helping over 100,000 people see clearly and we are thrilled at the tremendous success of our “See Well Do Good” mission. Through this charity collaboration with RestoringVision, every time a GVS member utilizes their vision benefits, we donate a new pair of glasses to someone in need.
Improved eyesight leads to positive life changes, especially for those living in disadvantaged communities. Studies have shown that vision correction can lead to a 35 percent increase in productivity. Each donation can change lives and lead to greater self-reliance and fulfillment. Fernando, a “See Well, Do Good” beneficiary, expressed gratitude for his new found vision. “The glasses have been a great help, it’s like having good vision again, like having young eyes again.”
Myles Lewis, CEO of GVS, takes great pride in this accomplishment. “We want to thank all of our clients and their members for helping us achieve this milestone. Our goal in 2018 is to donate 125,000 pairs throughout the year.”
