Baltimore, MD — September 2025 — KeraLink International and VOSH International have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to expand access to eye care and corrective eyewear in underserved communities worldwide.
VOSH International (Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity) is a global leader in volunteer-driven vision care, with 122 chapters in 33 countries, including 30 chapters here in the United States, and it’s still growing. For more than 50 years, VOSH chapters have provided free eye exams, screenings, and clinical services to communities in need, with a focus on international outreach.
Through this partnership, VOSH chapters will continue leading clinical service delivery, while KeraLink complements their efforts by ensuring patients have access to the glasses they need and by offering support that strengthens impact. The MOU was designed with growth in mind, allowing new activations to be added as connections are made and projects identified, keeping the collaboration responsive to local needs while planning for the future.
“This MOU recognizes the strengths of both organizations,” said Michelle Bockman, President and CEO of KeraLink International. “VOSH’s extraordinary volunteer network identifies the need, and KeraLink ensures people can access the glasses that change their lives.”
The partnership is already underway. In September, KeraLink will provide more than 70 pairs of glasses to Haiti through VOSH’s Pennsylvania Chapter, which has served patients in the region since 2010. Future collaborations will build on this model, connecting more VOSH chapters with KeraLink’s fulfillment resources.
“VOSH International has always believed in the power of partnerships to reach more people with the care they deserve,” said Maria Arce-Moreira, Executive Director of VOSH International. “This collaboration with KeraLink ensures our patients receive not only exams but also the glasses they need to see clearly.”
Together, KeraLink International and VOSH International will ensure that vision screenings and exams lead to lasting impact, restoring sight and expanding opportunity for individuals, families, and communities around the world.
