Promoting Eye Safety Around Nebraska
Eye on July, Corp. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting eye safety throughout Nebraska and beyond. We provide educational resources and free safety glasses for Nebraskans.
Even though vision is very important, some of us still don't protect our eyes enough leaving us vulnerable to injuries. Our goal is to prevent all eye injuries on July 4th and beyond!
About Us
Our dad, Dr. Rao Chundury, is an oculoplastic surgeon. In a more simple term, it means he’s all about eyes! He has to deal with the unfortunate victims of the fourth of July. Because of this, our family dreads the July 4th because our dad is always gone and at work. The fourth of July is more than just shooting off fireworks-- It's a day to bring your family together also. Then came our little, but big, plan.
Our team consists of a Board of Directors and 2 Founders!
Founders: Rishi Chundury (14) and Reeya Chundury (13)
Our Board of Directors:
Rao Chundury, Saroja Chundury and Deen Chundury
Did you know that over 78% of those with eye injuries were not wearing eye protection at that moment?

Campaign
This year, we are proud to announce that we ordered a grand total of 5,000 glasses! We distributed these glasses to many locations, including Nebraska Medicine facilities, firework vendors, private eye clinics, local religious communities, and much more.
Did you know that fireworks can cause permanent vision loss by damaging or burning the eyeball?
