Matt Solomon doesn’t just talk about global impact he’s lived it.
From Bolivia to Vietnam, Rwanda to India, and across Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, Matt has spent years supporting mission-driven care alongside organizations like Operation Smile, Partners In Health, and Children’s Surgery International. These experiences have shaped his belief that access to care should never depend on where someone lives. At EVRI, he leads global strategy and impact building partnerships, expanding outreach, and helping bring the latest advancements in vision care to communities around the world. His mission: to make clear vision a global standard, not a privilege.
