Vision Aid Overseas

Vision Aid Overseas (VAO) is a registered charity in the United Kingdom, which provides optical aid and services to developing countries in Africa.
==History==
In 1985, a group of British optometrists and dispensing opticians each took two weeks out of their businesses to establish clinics in Tanzania, where they tested the eyes of local people and dispensed second-hand spectacles collected in UK. After the project gained publicity via the media and resultant public support, they formalised their efforts by registering the charity Vision Aid Overseas in 1987.
Founded on the delivery of direct service to patient, since registering as a charity, VAO has operated direct service clinics in 23 countries and tested the eyes of over 600,000 patients, helping over 350,000 people to see with a pair of spectacles.〔
In the 1997 New Years Honours list, founder Brian Ellis was awarded the MBE.
