The Gift of Sight


This is the pair I wear:

I love this company for the same reason I love TOMS (I'm sure I'll talk about Toms soon), because for each pair that you buy they give a pair to someone in need. And think about it, to be able to play a role in giving the gift of sight to someone who doesn't have the resources to obtain glasses on their own is pretty darn amazing! It doesn't hurt that they don't break the bank either, just give them the specs of your prescription and it's only $95 for frame and lens'. Something even us without vision insurance can manage! And since it is an online company (and buying glasses without trying them on can be a scary experience) they will send you 5 pairs for free to try on, you have to send them back of course but then you get to order your favorite pair to wear always. I love when companies show that they have a heart, and while profit is always a focus for them it makes my heart feel good supporting them when they show that they are also focusing on using their blessings to bless others.

Warby Parker has also partnered up with one of my favorite organizations, Invisible Children, in creating their first sunglasses.
Not sure if I could pull them off (especially since I'd have to wear my eyeglasses underneath - yeah that would be hot) but I'm sure you can, take a look here
