Better sight improves lives
Eye Care Foundation wants to ban preventable blindness. We are active in international regions with limited or no access to good eye care.
This is where we work
Vision impairment by cataracts or any other eye conditions limits people in their lives and can lead to unnecessary blindness. In many remote areas in Asia, South America and Africa, the medical care that can prevent or cure these eye problems is unavailable. Eye Care Foundation makes good medical care accessible through expert, practical and financial support.
We work on projects in several Asian, South American and African countries. In these countries, we work closely with local teams; they are our boots on the ground. We train local people and provide the proper infrastructure and medical equipment. Together, we arrange that eye care – aimed at preventing and curing unnecessary blindness and vision impairment – has our entire focus.
We improve eye care in the long term
We actively support and ensure a sustainable future in our countries of operation. We train local medical staff and volunteers and build accessible eye clinics with proper infrastructure.
These fully equipped clinics, run by our trained staff and volunteers, conduct minor cataract surgeries, examine the eyes of adults and children, and prescribe eyeglasses. Additionally, we establish field offices to provide general support and medical management, with our teams remaining involved for as long as needed.
Our activities are completely clear
Our focus is on improving, preventing and curing. This is what we do:
-
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
Donations make our work possible
Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.
