Our mission is to make access to vision care possible for the underserved population in the United States through advocacy, education, outreach, and connection.

WHY WE EXIST
Vision care is often overlooked, particularly in underserved communities. Our Mobile Eye Health Unit improves vision care accessibility by overcoming common barriers such as trust, transportation, and geography. Our vision is to bridge the gap in eye health awareness and create connection to vision care for individuals in need.
-
WHAT WE OFFER
Our Mobile Eye Health Unit travels to partner events and communities to provide vision care and eye health awareness. We offer education sessions and materials on topics of eye health, which can be accessed on our website and social media channels.
-
HOW WE DELIVER
We meet people where they are and safely connect them to vision care. Our Mobile Eye Health Unit is staffed by volunteer optometrists and technicians who perform vision screenings and eye examinations. We travel to specific locations based on partners in the community and where our programs will best serve those in need.
“Sight impacts everything, every day, everywhere.”

Surf City Screenings
Huntington Beach, California
It warms our hearts to be able to bring vision care to people who may not otherwise have services available to them.
ECN Purpose partnered with Robyne’s Nest to provide students in their program with vision screenings to assess their eye health and need for prescription eyewear. Dr. Jacqueline Vu administered the vision screenings and answered questions the students had about their vision.
For many students at Robyne’s Nest, regular health examinations have not been a part of their lives. At the event, ECN Purpose provided an educational session on “Signs You May Need an Eye Exam” and general eye health.

"Our youth were beyond excited to get their eyes tested and so very grateful for the care and support provided to them," stated Covenant House, about the care arranged by ECN Purpose.
We are thankful for our partners in allowing us to serve our community.

Back-to-School Vision Screenings
Irvine, California
ECN Purpose partnered with Operation Be Kind at their annual “Back-to-School” event helping Title I students in Orange County. Invited students and parents were given the opportunity to sign up for the vision screenings at the event.
With its Mobile Eye Health van, ECN Purpose was onsite providing vision screenings by Edward Tran, O.D. and John Monteleone, O.D. We also distributed educational material regarding how vision can affect learning.
We believe this event made a lasting impact on the lives of children who attended with their families.
