Our Mission


Improving Lives by Improving Sight
Essilor’s mission is improving lives by improving sight. This means we work every day to protect and correct eyesight by designing, manufacturing and distributing quality vision care solutions worldwide.
But that’s not all. We invest in raising awareness of the importance of good vision, support eyecare professionals, invent new technologies and products, and support philanthropic initiatives because we believe everyone deserves to see life and all its detail with the best vision possible.
Essilor Vision Initiatives




The Essilor Vision Foundation partners with schools, eye doctors, and communities to provide eye exams and glasses to underserved children at no cost to their families. Our goal is to make sure that every child has a brighter future by helping them see the world clearly.




As passionate advocates of eye health, Essilor is proud to be a founding sponsor of Think About Your Eyes®, a non-branded public awareness initiative focused on educating consumers about the importance of eye health and comprehensive eye exams.




We support the Vision Impact Institute® and its mission of raising awareness about the importance of healthy vision. The Vision Impact Institute strives to give vision a voice by mobilizing a worldwide movement on visual impairment advocacy.
