Give the Gift of Healthy Eyesight

Some challenges are too big to tackle alone. Building a world where everyone has access to safe, affordable, high-quality eye care requires the generosity of many people working together. Everyone has a role to play, and every donation matters. To create real, lasting change for millions worldwide, we need a community. Will you join ours?

Your donation, large or small, can help break down barriers, create opportunities, inspire hope, and support stronger, healthier communities where everyone can thrive.

Your donation could help support:

A life-changing pair of glasses: It’s amazing how a simple, inexpensive pair of glasses can give a child the healthy vision and confidence they need to thrive. Suggested donation: $25.

Essential medications: Every year, we reach millions of children with antibiotics to treat trachoma, a blinding bacterial eye disease that can be prevented with medication costing only a few dollars. Suggested donation: $50.

Eye screening: Early detection and treatment are critical in preventing a lifetime of blindness. Our community eye screening programs help ensure people living in hard-to-reach places can get their eyes checked. Suggested donation: $75.

Sight-saving surgery: People all around the world urgently need surgery to restore their vision. Sometimes it’s a quick procedure, other times it’s a complex operation. But in every case, it’s life-changing. Suggested donation: $100.

Education that empowers: Lack of awareness about eye health is a major barrier, especially in rural areas. Empowering communities with information about why, where, and how to access eye care helps ensure more people get the treatment they need. Suggested donation: $250.

Critical eye care training: Our training programs create a ripple effect that benefits countless local eye care providers and their patients. For many doctors, their Orbis training allows them to treat serious eye conditions that very few others can. Suggested donation: $500.

Vital equipment and technology: From advanced diagnostic machines to basic eye care essentials, our partner hospitals and community vision centres urgently need equipment and supplies to provide the best treatment for their patients. Suggested donation: $750.

Barrier-free access to eye care: Investing in vision centres brings affordable eye care services closer to home. Many of these community eye clinics are even staffed by women, who offer local women and girls safe, discrimination-free care. Suggested donation: $1,000.

When we restore vision, we transform lives. We give a child the chance to go to school and get an education. We give a parent the opportunity to work and earn a living. We give an elderly person the ability to take care of themselves and live independently.

When we restore vision, we help give back what blindness takes away. We empower individuals, families, and entire communities to lift themselves out of poverty and work towards a better, brighter future.
