Our vision for better vision
Eye Care Foundation aims to create a world with better eyesight for everyone. Because we care about eye care. Especially in countries with less access.
This is how we work
The support of Eye Care Foundation is aimed at people living in countries where proper eye care is unattainable – because of the infrastructure or finances. We aim to prevent or cure avoidable blindness and vision impairment. These medical conditions have significant consequences.
Our way of working offers stable support and a sustainable future by:
-
Training local medical personnel and volunteers
-
Setting up field offices for general support and medical management
-
Building eye clinics at easy-to-reach locations
-
Donating medical eye care equipment
-
Financing cataract surgeries
-
Eye exams for elderly and schoolchildren
-
Prescribing eyeglasses
This is how we achieve sustainable eye care. For better vision – now and in the future.

Together for better vision
Eye Care Foundation actively provides essential eye care to disadvantaged and disenfranchised communities in Asia, South America and Africa. With the support of monetary donations and the work of volunteers, our foundation offers eye exams, treatments, and operations to people who otherwise don’t have access to this crucial care. By working together and sharing knowledge, know-how and access – we can ensure a better vision for everyone.
