*Focus on Independence*

Our History

Focus on Independence is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that

provides free laser or surgical vision correction to disabled

individuals who are unable to use their arms or hands to handle

eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The program was born during a moment of clarity in 2003. Dr.

Durrie (of Durrie Vision) watched Reeve deliver a televised

speech. The actor, who was paralyzed at the time, wore glasses, which

his wife had to position on his face.

As a vision correction specialist, Dr. Durrie was inspired to take

action. He created Focus on Independence as a way to use his skills to

give back to the community and help individuals suffering from paralysis

regain some of their independence.

To date, more than 20 people have benefited from the program.

Our Mission

To increase the independence of people with spinal cord injuries by

reducing their need for glasses and contact lenses through vision

correction surgery.

Our Future

Focus on Independence is in the critical launch stage of its

development. Our current goal is to raise the necessary capital to

produce support materials and training programs for interested vision

correction surgeons around the country who wish to participate in the

program. We will also create and implement a promotional and public

relations plan to create awareness among those who suffer from spinal

cord injuries.
