HOYA Vision Care

Looking ahead, our partnership will ramp up eye care in low- to middle-income countries through the provision of school-based screenings, and by training eye care professionals via our award-winning telemedicine and e-learning platform, Cybersight.

With HOYA’s generous support, we’ll be able to screen half a million children, and provide more than 15,000 glasses as part of our REACH (Refractive Error Among Children) project in India. REACH also refers children for further examination and treatment where needed.

HOYA already made a remarkable impact on this project during the COVID-19 pandemic when they provided crucial funding to help the Orbis India team transition to door-to-door screenings when school-based screenings could not take place.

Alongside this work, our wonderful partner has pledged to support vision centers in India, which make eye care accessible in rural communities and offer affordably priced care for low-income families, and free care for those who cannot pay.

HOYA’s generosity will directly impact four vision centers and the three partner hospitals associated with them. HOYA also plans to support further expansion of vision centers in the future.

Through HOYA’s contribution to Cybersight, eye care teams from areas with a high prevalence of myopia (nearsightedness) like China and parts of Southeast Asia, will be empowered with the skills they need to provide quality care to their patients.
