New Eyes runs two programs: our domestic program provides new prescription eyeglasses to poor children and adults and our international program distributes used glasses to the impoverished in developing countries. Right now we have 700 people on our wait list (due to shortfalls in funding) but, in fact, we always fill children’s request right away; they jump to the front of the list!

@Becks — Folks here in the US get vouchers for new glasses, the used/discarded ones go to underprivileged countries … is that good enough?

The problem I have with this is that the glasses go to UNDERDEVELOPED nations. What about kids in America who can’t see?
I think people are too focused on helping those abroad, when we have our own internal issues to fix first. It’s a great company and a great idea, but I think that looking out for American kids is more important than a random child somewhere else. How can we expect to fox other nations issues when we don’t have our own resolved?

One thing’s for sure: if I was dating Jake I would NEVER take my glasses off.

When I first saw the photo I thought, What’s with the giant one eye? Then I saw it’s for something with eyes. That is funny.

As someone who had really bad eyesight from an early age like Jake I fully support this cause. I was doing badly in school and acting out until I got my glasses and the world literally became clearer.
