Proceeds benefit the Programs of Lifelong Vision Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) founded by Dr. Jay Pepose in 2000. Our community programs bring clear vision to hundreds of people in our community and internationally through free vision interventions for special needs children, vision assessments for infants within the first year of life, vision services for under-resourced College Bound and Wyman Center teens, free LASIK surgery for first responders from East St. Louis, and vision exams, glasses, and cataract surgeries for underserved in other countries. Our education programs train and encourage the next generation of vision scientists and practitioners. Our research and clinical trials inform and transform vision interventions, impacting families to communities, at home and abroad.
