Beyond providing expert eye care in the Netherlands, we believe in a world where clear vision is accessible to everyone. Through Stichting Licht voor het Oog, we extend our hands to those who need it most.
Why We Founded Stichting Licht voor het Oog
At Van den Broek Optiek, we witness every day how a pair of glasses or a simple eye procedure can transform a person’s quality of life. However, we also know that for millions of people worldwide, preventable blindness is a reality due to a lack of resources, education, and medical access.
Stichting Licht voor het Oog was born from a calling to give back. Inspired by a commitment to human dignity and the belief that every individual is valuable, our foundation works to break the cycle of poverty and avoidable blindness in developing regions.
Our foundation focuses on three key areas to ensure sustainable, long-term impact on eye health:
We organize mobile eye clinics to detect conditions like cataracts and refractive errors in children and adults before they lead to permanent vision loss.
We support and fund essential eye surgeries and medical treatments, providing life-changing care to those who otherwise could not afford it.
We believe in empowering communities. We support inclusive education for visually impaired children and provide training for local healthcare workers to ensure eye care remains available for years to come.
From supporting eye clinics in Sub-Saharan Africa to providing specialized glasses for children in remote villages, our work reaches across borders. We partner with local organizations to ensure that 100% of our support goes directly to where it is needed most.
By choosing Van den Broek Optiek, you are indirectly supporting this mission. A portion of our professional work goes toward funding the surgeries, screenings, and optical tools that give “sight to the sightless.”
Vision is a gift that is meant to be shared. There are many ways you can support the foundation’s work:
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps fund a cataract surgery or a child’s first pair of glasses.
Businesses and individuals can sponsor specific projects or mobile screening days.
Help us raise awareness about preventable blindness and the importance of global eye health.
Equipped with advanced mobile technology and an extensive frame collection, our expert optician brings clinical eye exams and tailored consultations directly to your doorstep.
