Give the Gift of Vision

Supporting access to eyecare on a global scale

Nanodropper’s Give the Gift of Vision program addresses the need to support access to eye care on a global scale. This supports at-need individuals in the U.S. who cannot afford their eye drop medications and nonprofit organizations offering access to eyecare domestically and in remote regions of the world. 

For $25, you are contributing 2 Nanodroppers — this means an at-need individual in the U.S. now has 3 months of their eye-saving medication instead of 1 month, and an individual supported through nonprofit efforts is tripling their access to eyecare.

Join us on our mission to reduce cost, increase access, and promote eye health…one drop at a time.

The Nanodropper Adaptor is a small solution to a big problem — most eyedrop bottles waste 80 percent of its contents, and the eye can only absorb about 20-30 percent of a typical, oversized eyedrop. The Nanodropper is an adaptor for eyedrop bottles that reduces the size of a drop to just what the eye can absorb.

There are more than 3 million Americans living with glaucoma. Many struggle to afford their medications —  let alone the many more around the world who have trouble simply gaining access to the vision-saving eyedrop medications that they need.

How can I help? 

Nanodropper’s Give the Gift of Vision program addresses this need by taking our company’s mission a step further — we’re offering you an opportunity to help those who face a difficult choice between affording their medications or paying for other necessities, like rent or groceries, AND helping promote better access to eyecare around the world.

Just 1 Nanodropper can save 2 entire eyedrop bottles worth of medication. For a glaucoma patient whose eyedrops may cost up to $500 per month, that means eliminating 2 refills, or up to $1,000 in potential savings. Your contribution would double that impact by contributing a Nanodropper both in the U.S., and abroad.

Where do your donated Nanodroppers go?

We have an open application for any patient who cannot afford a Nanodropper in the U.S. After a simple screening process, we provide adaptors that have been donated by generous community members, like you, directly to these at-need individuals. You can also apply on behalf of a friend or loved one that you know needs the support. 

Internationally, we have partnered with some of the most influential nonprofits in eyecare, working to help triple their impact in hard-to-reach areas that may not have any other avenues to getting the care they need. 

You’ll find a list of our partner organizations below — we hope you will consider helping us support their efforts.

Join us in our mission to donate 1,500 Nanodropper adaptors to at-need individuals and our nonprofit partners by the end of 2023!

Why do I need to attend the onboarding webinar?

 

In the onboarding webinar you’ll learn essential information about using Nanodropper safely and effectively. While the device is simple to use, proper technique is key to ensuring you receive its full benefits. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask our team any questions you may have. We look forward to helping you get started with confidence!

Why do I need to take the onboarding survey?

 

By completing this survey, you’ll provide important information about your current medications, such as cost, bottle usage, and side effects.
