Johnson & Johnson Vision Program

Payment

Medical mission supplies and the bulk of the actual handling expenses required to distribute them are contributed by J&J and J&J Vision in service of paving the way for a world where a lifetime of healthy sight is possible.

To offset the remaining handling costs, there is a required $65 (USD) tax-deductible service fee for orders in the United States and a $100 (USD) tax-deductible service fee for orders outside of the United States.

Johnson & Johnson MedTech partners with MAP International to bring its medical products to people in need all over the world.

Sight elevates life’s joys — empowering us to experience more treasured moments. Yet poor eye health has reached monumental proportions – more than two billion people around the world suffer from visual impairment – and access to regular care remains difficult for many parts of the world.

We envision a world where healthy sight is treated as an integral part of whole health; where better sight is available, accessible; and where a lifetime of healthy sight is possible for every human.
