In a world where technology and healthcare often feel worlds apart, EyeCoin was born from a simple but powerful belief:
that innovation can be used to bring both better care and lasting hope to people everywhere.The story begins with Kerry and Joy Reeves — a husband-and-wife team whose lives have been defined by service.From Hickory, North Carolina to Haiti: A Journey of Faith and SacrificeMore than a decade ago, Kerry and Joy left the comfort of their lives in Hickory, NC, to serve as missionaries in Haiti. They worked in challenging conditions — through political unrest, poverty, and even the devastating 2010 earthquake. Kerry, an optometrist, provided life-changing eye care to those who had never owned a pair of glasses, while Joy poured herself into building community and helping families inall could make a life-changing difference.Returning to the U.S., but Not to “Normal”When the Reeves family returned to the United States, they built two successful optometry pra crisis.Those years forever shaped them. They saw firsthand how a single pair of glasses could restore a person’s ability to work, read, and live independently — and how something smctices — one in Fayetteville, NC, and another in Myrtle Beach, SC. But the passion they felt in Haiti never faded. They wanted to find a way to combine their professional expertise with their heart for global missions.That’s when the idea began to take shape:
What if eye care practices could unite through a shared rewards system that benefits patients AND helps fund global vision projects?The Birth of EyeCoinEyeCoin is a loyalty and referral token designed for optometry clinics. Patients earn EyeCoin for things like eye exams, purchasing glasses, or referring friends — and can spend them on discounts, products, or even donate them to eyeDAO, a decentralized fund for global vision missions.The beauty of EyeCoin is that it’s both local and global — strengthening small businesses while fueling eye care projects around the world.The Vision for the FutureThe Reeves’ dream is for EyeCoin to grow into a worldwide network of eye care providers, patients, and supporters working together to end preventable blindness.Imagine…
• A patient in Myrtle Beach gets an exam and earns EyeCoin.
• They choose to donate part of it to eyeDAO.
• Those tokens help fund a clinic in rural Africa or provide cataract surgery in Southeast Asia.It’s a simple chain of giving — powered by everyday people and cutting-edge blockchain technology.
“Our mission is bigger than cryptocurrency. It’s about creating a movement where every check-up and every pair of glasses becomes part of a global story of hope.” —
