Job Description
At OneSight we are unleashing the potential of 1.1 Billion people. Clear vision reveals to each of us what we are capable of doing and becoming. But the reality is, 1 in 7 people in the world lack access to vision care. And we know that this makes it a struggle for those who need glasses to meet even the most basic needs of living. For some, vision care may be too far, too expensive or there are too many obstacles in the way. At OneSight, we’re changing that. We have the solution. We know it works. And how we are hiring new team members to partner with us to deliver our mission. For more information on OneSight visit www.OneSight.org.
