About Friends for Sight

Over 30,000 Utah students need basic vision care, yet face barriers like cost, transportation, and limited access. Friends for Sight is changing that by bringing screenings, exams, and glasses directly to schools and communities—creating access where it hasn’t existed before.

This is about more than eye health, it’s a movement for vision health equity. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, play, and explore their world without unnecessary barriers.
