Operation Eyesight Universal

Operation Eyesight an international development organization working to prevent blindness and restore sight. Founded in 1963 in Calgary, Canada, we have been recognized as a key player working towards the elimination of avoidable blindness. With support from generous donors, we collaborate with our hospital and government partners in low- and middle-income countries to invest in sustainable eye health treatment, blindness prevention and community development to create a better life for people now and into the future. We have staff, country offices and boards of directors across four continents. We have programs in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia and Zambia; and we are looking to expand to other countries in the future. For over a decade, we have developed and implemented our Hospital-Based Community Eye Health Program model to create access to quality eye health services at the community level and reach people in remote communities. Our work contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3: Good Health and Well-Being, as well as the goals related to poverty, gender equality, water and sanitation, and partnerships.
