Through its Visualize Change program, the brand is proud to partner with organizations such as SEE International, Feed the Children, Direct Relief, and Best Day Foundation to provide support to those who are struggling with vision impairment. Blue Planet Eyewear’s head-turning fashion is made for a purpose:

Buy to Give Program: Blue Planet’s Visualize Change program donates one pair of glasses for every pair sold, and has provided more than 500,000 pairs to national and international charitable organizations.
