About Us

Transforming Lives Through Vision

Our Mission

Eye Doc in a Box is a nondenominational, evangelical, Christian organization providing eye care and spiritual aid to hurting people in developing countries while demonstrating God’s love and sharing God’s love through his Son, Jesus Christ. The goal is to help meet the eye care needs of the billion patients who need glasses but do not have access to them. The organization serves the church in developing countries worldwide to promote the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Clearing Paths to Change

Our Vision

Through awareness of the need for vision care, the goal of Eye
Doc in a Box is to see that every Christian mission trip includes
vision testing as a part of their ministry. The end goal is to treat
25 million people by 2050.

Guiding Compassion's Impact

Our Strategy

By participating in selected conventions and conferences
throughout each year, our prayer is that, by word of mouth, Eye
Doc in a Box will become synonymous with vision care in
developing countries, similar to other well known ministries.

Rooted in Christian Beliefs

Our Statement of Faith

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell.
  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
  6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment.
  7. We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.
  8. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism.
  9. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.

I’ve been trying to find a few moments since our return from Africa to update you on the success of our eye clinics, and I’m thrilled to share that your program worked incredibly well! We were able to conduct two eye clinics in conjunction with both a medical and a veterinary clinic. The glasses were perfectly labeled and organized, and the refractors worked great! We felt very well-trained, and once we got into the rhythm, we were able to quickly and accurately assess prescriptions. We also had a visual aid featuring John 3:16, an image of Calvary, and an empty tomb, all translated into Wolof, which we were able to give to every patient. The greatest victory, however, is that we were able to leave the remaining 1,800 pairs of glasses and 4 refractor kits with the local church planting agency, Mission Inter Senegal. We also trained several of their interpreters on how to use the refractors, enabling them to reach many villages with the Eye Doc in a Box system! Our lead pastor joined us on this trip, and he shared that from now on, every international trip we take will include an eye clinic! Thank you for your ministry, and a special thanks to Dr. Curtis for your thorough training. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future! God bless you and your ministry!

Thank you so much for your help and support for our eyeglass ministry to Portugal…We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the Eyeglass Ministry.  On the last day of the five clinic days an optometrist from Italy and his wife joined us and saw multiple patients and planned to see patients the next day with our supply of glasses that we would leave them…We are really thrilled to see all the glasses that we had go to use in Portugal…everyone was pleased with the system we received from Eye Doc in a Box. By God's grace we are planning a trip to Ecuador hopefully twice in 2025 and we will utilize your system for those trips. Thanks again for all your help we are so glad we met you.

Seeing the joy on people's faces as they received glasses and could finally see clearly was unforgettable.  It reminded me how small acts of kindness can change lives in powerful ways.

We just returned from Ethiopia and the vision ministry was a huge success.  I don't have a compilation yet of everyone we saw, but our volunteer team hit it out of the park.  It was thrilling to be able to minister in such a powerful way.
