Our Work

Four connected programs that find people who have lost their sight, restore it, and build the local capacity to keep the work going.

Why it matters

Cataracts cause nearly half of all blindness — and a 15-minute surgery reverses it.

Treatment is free for every patient, every working day, all year round.

Care reaches places no permanent clinic can — through mobile eye camps.

Local doctors are trained so the work continues long after we arrive.

    A life changed

    I can see my children’s faces again.

    Amina lost her sight to bilateral cataracts over two years. A single morning at one of our eye camps changed that — and by evening, when the bandages came off, the world came back.

    I never thought I would see clearly again. This gift changed my life.
