In 2011, Toms expanded to include eyeglasses in its “One for One” offering—for every pair of sunglasses purchased, sight-saving medical treatment, prescription glasses, or surgery is donated to a person in need. While Mycoskie conceived the idea, a “Sight Giving Partner,” the Seva Foundation, was contracted to administer the actual program, which launched in Nepal, Tibet, and Cambodia. In a 2012 interview with Fast Company, Mycoskie said it was helpful for him to work with Seva. “I’ve been there when (people have had) surgery… and I’ve handed out the glasses. But as Toms grows, it has to be less about ‘What’s Blake’s most intimate, joyful experience?’ and more about ‘What’s the great need?'”
