The Marc Jaiden Project

The Marc Jaiden Project is a community movement that transforms lives by engaging eye care specialists, sponsors, supporters and individuals with one goal in mind – to provide VISION WITH HEART for the community in need. We believe that a person should never be limited by poor vision; therefore we provide vision care to the community in need, locally and globally. The Marc Jaiden Project helps restore eyesight, provides eye wear and prevents vision loss. When vision is limited, the incidence of depression increases and reliance on family, friends and community service doubles. Poor vision leads to lower rates of employment, greater social isolation and emotional distress. The impact of poor vision is greater than the disability burden for breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, and HIV/AIDS combined. Considering these factors, it is little wonder that low vision ranks alongside cancer as the health issue people fear most. Almost five million people in America today lack access to glasses. This means that 15% of the population cannot effectively learn or work properly. Globally about 315 million people don’t have access to visual health. The Marc Jaiden project is determined to address this problem. In the last three years we’ve provided locally and globally eye screenings to over 20 thousand people, eye exams to over 15 thousand and provided eyeglasses to 12 thousand. We believe that everyone has the right to see!
