Vision care distribution models

The actual distribution is done in one of two ways. The first model is through social entrepreneurship, where Warby Parker works with nonprofit partners to train adults to go out into their communities, administer basic vision tests and sell glasses at a nominal fee. The second model is a direct donation model where it works with different partners to directly give vision care and glasses to those with little to no ability to purchase them.
