OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation

OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation

The EssilorLuxottica OneSight Foundation is a registered charity, whose mission is to eliminate uncorrected poor vision in countries across the world, in a generation. Since 2013, this Foundation, working with our partners, has helped provide permanent access to vision care for over 970 million people.

Join Vision Express and you’ll have the opportunity to volunteer with the One Sight Essilor Luxottica Foundation, using your expertise to help people all over the world reach their full potential through better eyesight, as we take our work to more communities.

Locum to Resident

Locum to Resident

At Vision Express our TG pool provides great flexibility for Optometrists wanting a little more stability without completely moving on from their current locum arrangements. With TG pool, you can be a resident with Vision Express but still get fixed rate shifts too (with priority access ahead of non-Vision Express residents). But if you’re looking to make the full move to a resident position, we’ve got all the support you need. Take the journey and you’ll be an influential clinical decision-maker, have the chance to lead talented colleagues, receive great career development and benefit from our valuable bonus and pension schemes.
