Why We Donate $1 Per Box of Contacts Sold

Contact lenses are an everyday product for millions of people. Hundreds of thousands of orders are placed a day across the United States.

That’s actually the reason we donate $1 for every box of contacts sold.

In many cases, vision issues are preventable. Treatment may be as simple as a routine eye exam, medication, or a straightforward procedure like cataract surgery. The problem is that in some places, there isn’t access to the level of eye care needed to catch and prevent these issues from progressing.

Sightsavers works to close that gap. They partner with local health systems to expand access to eye care in communities globally. Their work includes funding cataract surgeries, treating diseases like trachoma that can lead to blindness, training eye care professionals, and helping build long-term eye care programs.

So when someone orders contacts from Blue Planet Optics, it’s not just about getting their lenses delivered.

Each box also contributes to programs that help people access the eye care that they need and get back to everyday life, going to school, working, and caring for their families.

It’s only a dollar per box, but when thousands of people are ordering something they already need, it adds up quickly.

That’s the idea behind Blue Planet Optics. Contacts are something you’re already ordering. So, why not help expand eye care access at the same time?

If you need contacts, we’d love for you to browse our store and consider ordering from Blue Planet Optics!
