New data collected prior to COVID-19 shows rates of blindness and vision loss were slowing. But has the pandemic created an even greater need for investment in eye care?

Watch our new documentary film following some of our staff and volunteers on our recent project in Myanmar. This short film gives a behind-the-scenes account of what it's like to work on the front lines of the fight against avoidable blindness.

Our world renowned Volunteer Faculty are the heartbeat of our training programs, both on the Flying Eye Hospital and in partner hospitals around the world. For nearly 40 years the keystone of our work has been to teach and train eye teams to fight blindness on their own - we couldn't do it without their hard work and dedication.
