Clear vision opens brighter possibilities for everyone.

Adani Foundation and VisionSpring Foundation have been working together for several years to expand access to quality eye care through vision screening and eyeglasses for those in need.

By making timely eye care accessible, our efforts are enabling women, adults, communities, students, and drivers to see, work, and learn better, thus empowering them with greater comfort, confidence, and dignity.

Recently, Anshu Taneja, Managing Director, VisionSpring Foundation, got an opportunity to meet with Dr. Priti Adani, Chairperson, Adani Foundation, and Dr. Abhishek Lakhtakia, Chief Executive Officer, Adani Foundation, at the AVPN Conference in New Delhi. They appreciated the importance of this initiative and the impact we are creating together across the country through this program.

This long-standing program has covered almost 16 states, with more than 2.5 lakh people screened and 89% of eyeglass recipients being first-time wearers, through our See to Earn, See to Learn, and See to Be Safe programs.

During the event, Dr. Priti Adani spoke about India's journey towards Viksit Bharat@2047 and the shift from "capital for charity" to "Capital for Capacity."

In alignment with this vision, we remain committed to taking eye care closer to the communities that need it the most and ensuring the India Clear Vision Mission enables people to learn, earn, work, and live to their full potential.

India Post reaches more rural households than almost any institution in the country. Nearly 165,000 post offices, over 90% of them in rural India.

Our pilot in Assam along with World Health Organization (WHO), Universal postal Union, India Post, and Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya is proof of what's possible. Working through India Post - training staff, building awareness, dispensing reading glasses, and setting up referral pathways - we screened 8,914 people, of whom 72% had presbyopia. Of those screened, 82% were First Time Wearers, and 6,421 people were provided glasses.

This week, the VisionSpring Foundation team joined Dr Mohammed Asheel, National Professional Officer (Injuries, Disabilities, Assistive Technology and Rehabilitation), WHO India, and Dr. Sushma Adappa to explore exactly that: how the right public institutions can help extend access to affordable eye care, in line with WHO’s SPECS 2030 initiative and its goal of increasing access to affordable eye care by 2030.

Sometimes, a pair of reading glasses is all it takes to help someone thrive at work. That is the access we’re building toward. EYElliance’s Elizabeth Smith also joined the discussion.

How could everyday public spaces - post offices, schools, grocery stores (Kirana) - could play in closing healthcare gaps? Let us know in the comments, or write to us at [email protected] to learn more.

Everyone who needs eyeglasses, has them. That is our goal for India by 2047

This week, the VisionSpring Foundation team held a constructive discussion at AIIMS, New Delhi, India on strengthening India's vision care ecosystem - and how public institutions can act as a catalyst for closing the access gap. We met with Dr. Praveen Vashist, Professor and Officer In-Charge, Community Ophthalmology at Dr. R.P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences. Anshu Taneja, our Managing Director, and our Monitoring & Evaluation team led the conversation, joined by Elizabeth Smith from EYElliance.

Public institutions like AIIMS carry decades of trust. If we can build on that - rather than create something new alongside it - we get to scale faster and reach the people who need it most.

How do you think public and private organisations can work better together to close healthcare access gaps? We would love to hear your perspective in the comments, or Write to us at [email protected]

A recent conversation with Ms. Elizabeth Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of EYElliance, reinforced something we see every day in our own work: government is not just a partner in strengthening vision care systems, it is the platform on which lasting, population-level impact is built.

We discussed the upcoming Government Integration Lab for Frontline Vision, a workshop designed to explore how frontline vision care can be better integrated into public systems. We also reflected on EYElliance’s experience in Other countries of the world, particularly its engagement with Ministries of Health and the private sector, reinforcing the importance of multi-stakeholder working groups in building stronger and more sustainable vision care systems.

Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and exploring how working closely with the public sector can help make vision care more accessible and sustainable.

1,50,000 pairs of eyeglasses. 15 blocks across Bihar. One powerful goal: helping women see clearly, work better, and build stronger livelihoods with dignity.

Each pair of eyeglasses does more than improve vision; it can unlock greater productivity, earning potential, and stronger livelihoods for women.

Through JEEViKA’s vast rural network, trained JEEViKA teams are screening women and providing reading glasses to help them see clearly and participate more productively in their work and communities. VisionSpring Foundation trained JEEViKA teams in vision screening and eyeglasses dispensing, helping bring vision correction closer to women in rural Bihar.

As we look to deepen this work, Mr. Indrajit Chaudhari, CEO, PCI, recently visited VisionSpring Foundation, providing an opportunity for meaningful discussions on strengthening our future collaboration.

Our conversation centred on three priorities: deepening our engagement with the communities we serve, strengthening the systems that make this work sustainable, and making vision correction more accessible to those who need it most. We decided to work more closely to scale our impact in Bihar and other states across India.

Lasting change takes more than a single intervention. It takes organisations willing to stay engaged, strengthen what works, and keep taking the next step together.

Clear vision changes everything,
a driver spotting a pothole in time,
an elderly parent recognising their grandchild's face clearly,
a worker clocking in for one more productive day.

This year, Adani Foundation completes 30 years of Seva, one journey, one commitment to building secure and sustainable livelihoods for communities.
Through our collaboration with them, we're proud to be a small part of that story.

Through See to Earn, we're reaching elderly people and communities who deserve safety and dignity in everyday life.
Through See to Be Safe, we're reaching drivers whose safety on the road depends on clear vision.

Together, we're aiming for:
nearly 79K vision screenings across See to Earn and See to Be Safe.

See our participants experience clear vision at our outreach program.

SBI Funds Management Limited (SBIFML) has come together with VisionSpring Foundation to launch two MobilEYES Clinics, enhancing community access to primary eyecare.

The mobile clinics will be operating across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru (Karnataka), reaching people who face barriers of distance, quality eye care, affordability, and time.

Mr. Debasish Mishra, Managing Director & CEO at SBI Funds Management Limited, said: "SBIFML remains committed to supporting community-focused initiatives that improve access to basic services. Our partnership with VisionSpring Foundation reflects our continued effort to contribute responsibly to community wellbeing."

VisionSpring Foundation is committed to the cause and firmly believes, "Clear vision is fundamental for a person's wellbeing and livelihood. While there are facilities available in metros, underserved communities face many barriers to accessing quality and affordable eyecare. These are all barriers we aim to address with MobilEYES Clinics by bringing quality and affordable eyecare directly into communities”
