What we do
Three programs, one mission
Open Eyes Beyond Border's mission is to improve the quality of life of poor children and underserved families with a focus on vision, wellness and educational support at home and abroad.
Vision and Community Wellness
Vision is where we start: free eye exams, screenings and glasses for underserved neighbors across Central Texas, wrapped in wellness outreach powered by volunteer optometrists.

International Projects
Vision care mission trips, student scholarships and school support, predominantly across Asia and wherever the need takes us. Missions so far: Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines.

Relief and Recovery
When crisis strikes, we respond the way we know best: replacing lost glasses, restoring sight and bringing wellness support to families rebuilding after storms, floods and emergencies.

Family Volunteering
Kids and parents serving side by side: packing days, community events and field days that turn generosity into a family habit.
Presenting sponsor
Your organization here
Each OEBB mission season is carried by a lead sponsor whose support funds clinic days, eyeglasses and scholarships across every program.

Sponsor a student
Be the reason a child stays in school
Our scholarships are paid directly to schools and follow each student through high school graduation. Meet the students and become the reason one of them stays in class.
The gift of sight
Give the Gift of Sight
Every gift restores sight, funds a school year or carries a mission. As a US 501(c)(3), OEBB can receive gifts through donor advised funds, stock, planned giving, employer matching and more.

Why we keep showing up
More than 95% of the students we saw had never had their eyes checked. Watching a child see the blackboard clearly for the first time never gets old.
