Passing on lasting knowledge in our eye clinics

We set up specialised hospitals in some of our work areas. Together, we ensure that the eye care services are expanded and that we train hundreds of doctors and ophthalmology medical staff.

Eye clinics

When setting up specialised hospitals, we focus on building and accessibility. By ensuring proper infrastructure, people can reach the eye clinics. Moreover, we support the hospitals by partly financing outreach programmes and medical equipment. These hospitals facilitate basic eye clinics in the more remote regions. Some of these eye care centres have evolved into a proper eye clinic. Eye Care Foundation supports these initiatives on the condition that there is also local backup.

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.

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

Together for better vision
