We care. Far more than a few acts of kindness, our ongoing community involvement is what keeps us connected to the places our members call home.
VSP Eyewear Donation ProgramLike many companies, VSP® Vision Care takes pride in being a good neighbor. Through our new Eyewear Donation Program, we’re partnering with communities near and far to help serve the more than one billion people globally who cannot afford or do not have access to eyewear.

We believe that everyone has a responsibility to give back to their community and make it a better place to live. That’s why we sponsor a paid volunteer program to encourage our employees to donate their time to their community.
All employees, including part-time workers, may take up to eight hours of paid time off each year to volunteer for their charity of choice. It’s our way of giving back and helping our employees do the same.

It’s possible to have diabetic eye disease and not know it. Many times people with diabetes aren’t aware they have diabetic eye disease. That’s because in the early stages there usually aren’t any symptoms. So even people with good vision can suffer from diabetic eye disease.
VSP is a National Strategic Partner of the American Diabetes Association . We’ll be attending ADA EXPOs reaching thousands of people affected by diabetes across the country. VSP is also participating in local events including the Tour de Cure and Step out to Fight Diabetes walk.
