TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie launched TOMS Eyewear and its Sight Giving model in 2011 to help restore sight to people in need. With every purchase of TOMS sunglasses and optical frames, TOMS will provide a person in need with prescription glasses, medical treatment or sight-saving surgery. To date, TOMS has helped restore sight to over 200,000 people in 13 countries around the world.<\/p>\n
