Ria Kaith

Co-Founder

Ria is a second year at UVA. She was the captain of her speech team and vice president of Key club, a service organization that connects people to different service opportunities. Throughout her life, Ria has always been passionate about service and giving back to the community. That's why she started On the Bright Sight!

Our Story

Ria and Siya have both had had glasses from a very young age. When Ria broke her glasses on a cruise for 7 days, she faced the first-hand agitation that others experienced by not having a pair of glasses. She knew she had to do something. After talking with Siya, they came up with a plan to combat this disparity and thus, in 2019, On the Bright Sight was born. Since then, Ria and Siya have donated over 1,000 glasses and helped people all across the world.
