Since 1988, OneSight has served 9 million underserved adults and children in 47 states and 41 countries. This year, OneSight will hold 14 vision clinics across America, including the week-long event at Saddleback High School.

To support the Santa Ana clinic, a check was presented by Randy Baldwin, director of provider marketing for hearing and vision at CareCredit. “Santa Ana is right in our own back yard,” said Baldwin. “As a company, our mission is to help more patients get the care they need, including vision care and eyewear. It was natural for CareCredit to want to provide financial support to further OneSight’s efforts to provide care to underserved children right here in our local community.“

“We are honored to have the generous support of a company like CareCredit,” said Jason Singh, OD, Executive Director, OneSight. “At OneSight, we believe children who see better, learn better. CareCredit has helped expand our support of this community and provide vision products for the children of Santa Ana.”
