AINAK is a nonprofit dedicated to giving under-resourced children the gift of clear vision through free eye exams and prescription glasses. Rooted in compassion, AINAK partners with schools to ensure that no child falls behind simply because they cannot see. Through vision screenings and school referrals, students are connected with licensed optometrists and receive the care they need at no cost. AINAK also offers free vision screenings to students and their families, helping to prevent avoidable vision loss in alignment with the principles of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, using handheld refractometers for early detection. By restoring vision, AINAK helps children not only see the world more clearly but step into it with confidence. Need Eye Glasses? If you have poor vision and cannot afford to pay for an eye exam and eyeglasses due to lack of insurance and/or means to pay, register today: myainak.org/aboutus Learn more:
