About Us

Better Vision for Better Lives

As the philanthropic foundation of The Vision Council, The Vision Council Foundation brings the power of sight to all through eye health educational programs and optical industry career training support. The Vision Council Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to enabling better vision for better lives.


Our Vision for Industry Growth and Consumer Education

There is a significant gap in consumer awareness regarding eye health and vision care. Many individuals lack essential knowledge about the importance of regular eye exams, the wide array of vision products available, and how to choose the right options for their needs. The optical industry also faces a critical need for a more diverse workforce, and there is a growing demand for skilled eyecare professionals who can cater to the evolving needs of consumers.

The Vision Council Foundation is committed to solving these industry challenges, securing an abundant future for the $65 billion optical industry, and providing the eyewear and eyecare people need to look and feel their best. 


Our Leaders

At The Vision Council Foundation, our team is committed to providing people everywhere with tools and resources needed to make informed decisions about their vision. We achieve this by conducting public education campaigns, critical market research, and offering optical industry career path programs and scholarships.
