VOSH seeks "to facilitate the provision of vision care worldwide to people who can neither afford nor obtain such care" and works with the World Health Organization to eliminate preventable blindness by the year 2020. VOSH has a great network for getting volunteers to overseas places that need eye care and obtaining eyeglasses and various kinds of eye care supplies and equipment (often with support of Lions Clubs).

The "Services and Information" section on its website lists more than a dozen places in the U.S. (plus some in other countries) that provide recycled glasses for little or no cost.

Many VOSH chapters organize overseas eye care mission trips, and the VOSH website also connects places with needs with volunteers.
