Mobile eye camps
In The Netherlands, there are about 38 ophthalmologists available per 1 million citizens. In some countries where we work, this is just 4 per 1 million citizens. Often, no ophthalmologist is available near people who need it most. Moreover, the people who need an operation are often not able to travel (far) because of vision impairment or financial situation. Therefore, doctors must be able to visit patients. We do this by setting up mobile eye camps in remote areas. A mobile eye camp consists of specialised ophthalmologists supported by medical staff and all the equipment for surgeries, such as an operating table, operating materials, bandages and medical instruments. Everything is transported safely and hygienically. We set the camp up locally and create an exam and operating room.
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 focus is on improving, preventing and curing. This is what we do:
