​About/Contact

​Mississippi Vision Foundation

The Mississippi Vision Foundation was first established in 1960 by the Mississippi Optometric Association. Our mission is to create opportunities for access to quality vision education and services for Mississippi. Join us to Help Mississippians See a Better Future!

Generous Donations

Through the generosity of many Mississippi Doctors of Optometry, underserved Mississippians are able to receive eye care and glasses. The Mississippi Vision Foundation identifies and links recipients to volunteer optometrists. Studies show that children who do not regularly receive eye exams and vision care are more likely to leave school without graduating, which contributes to the rise in Mississippi's poverty rates.

Providing Scholarships

​The Mississippi Vision Foundation offers scholarships to Mississippi residents who are accepted into accredited optometry schools. Mississippi has a scarce vision coverage, and the scholarships offered through the Mississippi Vision Foundation helps lower the cost of school attendance for Mississippi students and encourage them to practice in Mississippi after graduation. Scholarships are awarded based on merit and need.
