The Issue

In India, 3.4 million children struggle in school due to uncorrected vision, drastically reducing their learning and future earnings.

Studies estimate that early intervention to correct a child’s sight could increase their lifetime earnings by up to 78%! According to a report(Dhakhwa et al, 2024), a child with poor vision learns approximately half as much as a child with

good vision.

Additionally, in India, one single year of sub-optimal learning due to uncorrected refractive error costs $6.8 billion in future economic productivity loss every year.

Our Mission & Impact

VisionIn works to improve eye health among students in government schools in Bangalore, Chennai, and Pune by providing accessible eye screenings and ensuring timely corrective care.

Through partnerships with specialized ophthalmology professionals, we help identify vision issues early and support access to corrective treatment, including eyeglasses and surgical care, enabling students to learn and thrive.

The Process:

1. Vision shot

Students read an eye chart from a distance of 6 meters. If any difficulty is detected, they proceed to the next step. Otherwise, their vision is marked as normal.

2. Retinoscopy

This test is used to accurately confirm the presence of a vision defect. It helps identify issues in each eye individually, as sometimes only one eye may be affected.

3. Auto refractometer machine

An auto-refractometer provides an objective measurement of a student’s refractive error and helps determine the appropriate prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
