Our Vision
We are committed to eliminate avoidable blindness.
Why Our Work Matters
Sight is one of our most vital senses — yet millions live without it unnecessarily. Many people still don’t have access to quality eye care because of economic, geographic, or educational barriers. The impact of blindness disproportionately affects the most vulnerable populations, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
A Global Crisis
Over 1 billion people worldwide do not have access to the eye care they need. Without change, this number will rise to 1.8 billion by 2050. 90% of vision loss occurs in low- and middle-income communities.
Economic Impact
Restoring sight changes lives and livelihoods. Cataract surgery can raise household spending by 88% and lift 46% of families into a higher income racket. Clear vision is a pathway out of poverty.
Education & Children
Children with poor vision are up to 5 times less likely to attend school.
Providing glasses can cut the odds of a child failing a class by nearly half.
Better vision means better opportunities for the future.
