We believe in the power of people. Sustainable eye care begins with education and training at all levels, from local outreach workers to specialised ophthalmologists. This approach ensures that communities can meet their eye care needs today and are prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.
By investing in training, we can create a ripple effect across generations. Our trainees become trainers, hospitals evolve into teaching centres, and community knowledge thrives. This provides underserved communities with enduring access to high-quality eye care.
Our programs range from primary eye care training for nurses and assistants to scholarships supporting doctors in ophthalmology.
We train eye doctors in modern cataract surgery and subspecialties such as pediatrics, glaucoma, and corneal transplants.
Community-based initiatives focus on developing skills for early detection of eye disease among disadvantaged populations, including women and children.
By harnessing new technology to enhance diagnosis and treatment, and by expanding the eye health workforce, we can ensure everyone gets access to high-quality eye care. This isn’t just about improving the lives of those with vision loss — it’s about transforming entire societies for the better today and in the long-term.
“Thanks to the scholarship I am now an ophthalmology fellow. The skills that I am developing will change the lives of many people in my country. Thank you for helping me serve my community!
