ClearVision Optical, in partnership with the Optical Women’s Association (OWA), is now accepting applications for the 2025 ClearVision-Adira Grants Program. The initiative offers two $2,000 grants to OWA members to support professional development and personal growth within the optical industry.

The program was established in 2024 alongside ClearVision’s launch of Adira, a women’s eyewear brand, and is fully funded by ClearVision to support and empower women in the field.

Eligible OWA members may apply by submitting a 300-word personal essay responding to one of several provided prompts, including topics such as workplace challenges, skill development, stress management, and future goals. Submissions are open through Aug. 14.

Finalists will be selected by a panel of judges appointed by OWA and ClearVision. Essays will be anonymized during the selection process, and OWA members will vote to determine the final grant recipients.

The two $2,000 grants will be formally awarded at Vision Expo West, taking place Sept. 17-20. More information and entry details are available here.
