Ending Avoidable Blindness Through Innovation & Access
KeraLink’s mission is to close this gap by advancing affordable technologies, equipping local providers, and re-imagining what global eye care can look like—where communities are not only served, but empowered to serve themselves.
1 Billion
people around the world live with avoidable blindness.
90%
of all vision loss is treatable or preventable.
50%
of the world’s population has no access to vision care.
KeraLink's Ecosystem
Three interconnected entities that deliver care, foster innovation, and fund mission-driven programs to restore sight.
These three organizations work in partnership toward our mission.
KeraLink International – Delivers sight-saving care via programs
KeraX Venture Lab – Incubates innovation through technology development
KeraLink Eyewear – Fuels programs by reinvesting 100% of profits
BEHIND OUR MISSION
Hometown Heroes brings vision screenings and glasses to children and families around the globe—reaching communities where access to eye care is limited, no matter their zip code.
Uncorrected refractive error is a common (and fixable) vision problem—basically, when someone needs glasses but doesn’t have them. By providing glasses, we help kids read and learn, adults do their jobs safely, and families go about daily life with confidence.
Teghan, a proud first grader, received her first-ever pair of glasses.
She shouted, “I can see the little words in books! I can see my mom’s face!”
For children like Teghan, a first pair of glasses can mean reading independently, recognizing faces, and seeing the world clearly for the first time.
A WORLD WITHOUT AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS
KeraLink is transforming the way we approach blindness. Through innovative medical technologies and global partnerships, we’re building a future where the miracle of sight is within reach for everyone.
