A Personal Mission
I Spy a Good Pair of Eyes was born from something deeply personal. Growing up, I watched my grandfather struggle with glaucoma — a condition that slowly stole his vision until he was nearly blind. Seeing someone I loved lose the ability to read, recognize faces, and navigate the world around him left a lasting mark on me.
That experience opened my eyes to a harsh reality: millions of people around the world live without access to basic vision care — not because solutions don't exist, but because they're out of reach.
I started this nonprofit as a high school student in Lamorinda, CA with a simple idea: collect the usable eyeglasses sitting unused in our community and get them to people who need them most. What began as a local collection drive has grown into an organization that has distributed over 2,000 pairs of glasses across India, Mexico, and soon Zimbabwe.
Every pair of glasses we deliver carries the same hope — that no one should lose their connection to the world because of something as solvable as poor vision.
