EYES ON TOMORROW® FOR OUR PEOPLE

Marchon has a long history of empowering and supporting its employees in the US and over 21 countries on all major continents. We also believe in giving back to the communities we operate and furthering the purpose of our parent company VSP Vision to empower human potential through sight.

VSP EYES OF HOPE

Eye care is essential, yet 1.3 billion people around the world live with vision impairment and can’t get the care they need. Marchon donates eyewear through VSP Eyes of Hope to support increased access to vision care wherever it’s needed most. To date, more than 3.3 million adults and children in need have gained access to no-cost eye care and eyewear through our initiatives.
